The Facts
Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio Senator JD Vance denied that former Pres. Donald Trump lost the 2020 US election while speaking in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
When asked by a reporter, Vance claimed that there were "serious problems" with the election result in 2020, before stating that Trump did not lose "by the words that [he] would use."
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Having refused to answer the question while under the national spotlight, Vance has finally come out as the election denier we all knew he was. Despite dozens of failed court cases and a lack of any evidence in favor of the allegation, Trump and his cronies continue to spread dangerous disinformation concerning the outcome of the 2020 election.
Republican narrative
Despite the long list of issues that continue to cast doubt over 2020's result, Vance has repeatedly affirmed his intent to focus on the future rather than dwell on the past. Unfortunately, the hypocritical mainstream media continues to revisit the topic in search of viral clickbait, instead of dealing in legitimate concerns over the role that Big Tech had in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story and allowing the Democrats back into the White House.
