For excellence in headline spin:
I may have to come up with a special Whiplash award for when the headline is at odds with the body of the reporting.
Former President Trump declined to commit to accepting Wisconsin’s November election results in an interview Wednesday, the latest instance of Trump hedging over whether he will contest the results of the election.
“If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview Wednesday. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country.
“But if everything’s honest, which we anticipate it will be — a lot of changes have been made over the last few years — but if everything’s honest, I will absolutely accept the results,” he added.
Trump falsely claimed to the outlet that he “won the election in Wisconsin” in 2020, doubling down on his disproven claims of widespread fraud in the Badger State and elsewhere. President Biden won Wisconsin by 21,000 votes in 2020.
There's more to the piece, but who gives a fuck when they can't be honest about reporting on his standard SmarmSpace weasel-out?
He says he'll accept the outcome "if it's honest", and you know he's never ever going to say it was honest, and he'll never concede -
because he's never fucking conceded anything. EVER.
