From the "Blinding projection", files: Is This a Joke? WashPost Writer Claims Republicans Have a Problem Accepting Election Results

The pompous “Democracy Dies in Darkness” paper published an opinion piece Nov. 7 that was so opposed to reality, you had to wonder if it was a joke. The article entitled, “Can Republicans relearn how to accept political outcomes they don’t like?” wasn’t a joke, even though it would’ve fit in perfectly as a satire piece for The Babylon Bee.
...
Hillary Clinton and her media cronies have been calling her the real winner of the 2016 election for three years now. Not to mention delusional Democrats “Governor” Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum, who both lost their respective gubernatorial races in 2018.

It isn't good that Biden feels he has to agree with someone who is off in La-La land somewhere. Usually a candidate will politely turn aside such ravings rather than voice agreement with them, but Biden is scared stiff of the Socialists who are running against him and feels he must show everybody that he is as extreme as they are. He is in a fix.

So when does stonewalling a President (and we can argue just how much they did that) but since when does that constitute not accepting that he was legitimate?

What you've provided here is a couple of edited excerpts from an opinion piece about an opinion piece about an election result.

Why not address the issue directly and give us your opinion on the original article?

If that were true, it's Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer, et al who would have been the ones to move on. As we all can see, they haven't.

A growing number of Republican lawmakers are urging Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a fellow Republican, to either provide evidence of the voting “irregularities” he has alleged or concede Tuesday’s election to Gov.-elect Andy Beshear, who defeated him by 5,189 votes.

Man, some Republicans just can't handle it when a majority of the people have spoken...

Trump still can't get over the fact that he didn't get a majority of votes in the popular vote, even though he won in the electoral college. He's still talking about 'millions' of illegal votes.

Context my friend. The statement I was replying to was that "Republicans never accepted President Obama as legitimate." Republicans as a party never held to that position that Obama wasn't and even from what I've read if you want to talk about what Trump said he never stated as an absolute Obama wasn't but rather felt it should be considered and looked into. In 2016 he called it a theory....so while not a great statement still not the same as saying he is illegitimate.

Dems have called Trump illegitimate.

He what?

Sure you don't want to dial that back?

I believe I read before being President a few years before he had a few people check it out....but he "ordered an investigation" on this? When? The link please. You make it sound like an official act he did as President...Unless like I've said you can provide a link not true. Perhaps fake news?
