Stephanopoulos interrupted Paulo after he said there was still a chance that some challenges in states whose electoral officials changed voting rules without legislative approval would reach the Supreme Court – and that there was a possibility that ballots would be made under the names of people killed or by undocumented immigrants.
“Sen. Paul, I need to stop you there, ”said Stephanopoulos. “No election is perfect. But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all of which were dismissed. Each state certified the results after investigations, counts and recounts. The Justice Department led by William Barr said there was no widespread evidence of fraud. Can’t you just say the words ‘This election was not stolen’? “
Paul responded by claiming that the majority of Republicans believe the election was stolen, at which point Stephanopoulos replied: “Seventy-five percent of Republicans agree with you because they were fed a big lie by President Trump and his supporters, who say the election was stolen. “
