In the first White House press conference since major news outlets called the 2020 election for Joe Biden, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said President Trump was not “given an orderly transition of power.”
Joe Biden has complained that he is not getting high-level briefing, and other Democrats have alleged that Trump administration officials are not working with Biden team officials on a transition.
“We’ve talked a lot about transfer of power and the election. And it’s worth remembering that this president was never given an orderly transition of power,” McEnany said. “His presidency was never accepted. In fact, before the election his election we know Crossfire Hurricane was launched by [former FBI agent] Peter Strzok to pursue baseless allegations about the president’s ties with Russia.”
“And what happened after he was elected, you had 70 lawmakers say we’re not coming to his inauguration. Democratic lawmakers, you had [Massachusetts Sen.] Elizabeth Warren, saying, we’re going to attempt to obstruct the Trump transition by urging the Government Accountability Office to investigate the incoming Trump transition,” McEnany said.
“Many sought to undermine him, discredit him, delegitimize him and deny his victory. There were no calls for unity, there were no calls for healing. So while every legal vote is counted, let us not forget the inexcusable transition, or lack thereof, that President Trump had to endure in 2016, and for years into this presidency,” the press secretary said.
While we are a forgiving lot, we do not forget injustices. ???
This news about Trump not given an orderly transfer in 2016 should be headline news from every media since Biden and the Dems this is all they keep crying about. If Biden for some reason does become the president in the basement in 2021 I pray we have enough media and the Republicans which light up their time in power and all the impeachments we can muster see how they like it. Never let up on the Dems, the tribe and the media for the next 4 years. And remember it still is not clear who would be running things for the next 4 years as we know Biden will either be in the White House basement, or a mental institution. You will then have Harris and Pelosi fighting for the power and digging into how Trump was so successful running the country and they will never see that economy again.
