Biden’s Big Freudian Slip
By referring to the wave of illegals as “Hispanic voters,” he inadvertently tipped the Democrats’ hand for rigging this year’s race.
It’s only May, and The Washington Post is already working the electoral refs.
“Top Republicans, led by former president Donald Trump,” writes The Post’s Patrick Svitek, “are refusing to commit to accept November’s election results with six months until voters head to the polls, raising concerns that the country could see a repeat of the violent aftermath of Trump’s loss four years ago.”
“He may not accept the outcome of the election? I promise you he won’t,” said Joe Biden in a CNN interview on Wednesday.
Gosh, why might Republicans already be suspicious of the 2024 election? Could it be that they still remember the myriad ways in which the Democrats rigged the 2020 contest?
And could it be that the Democrats are already scheming up creative new ways to get out the “Democrat” vote in order to rig this year’s contest — such as flooding the zone with voter registration forms and requiring that state health and human services agencies hand out voter registration forms to illegal immigrants when they apply for their free government healthcare?
But that’s just the tip of the election-rigging iceberg. Interviewing with a Spanish-language radio station, Biden didn’t have the benefit — if you can even call it that anymore — of a teleprompter. So, he said the quiet part out loud. Referring to the catastrophic wave of illegals who have poured across our southern border under Biden’s watch, he said the migration is “a little bit like back in the 1840s and the great exodus of Ireland.” And then he said: “It’s even a bigger influx now in terms of Hispanic voters! Err, Hispanic citizens.”

With a Freudian slip like that, is it any wonder that Republicans are again wondering about election integrity?
And then there are all those fliers at the Soros-funded illegal-immigration NGOs in Mexico — the ones that say: “Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open.”
House Republicans seem to be aware of all this — or at least a few of them. Our Emmy Griffin noted this a few weeks ago: “What better way to start unifying the GOP than by addressing the various issues surrounding voter integrity? A lot of hanky-panky was allowed to occur in the 2020 presidential election because of the COVID black-swan event and subsequent lockdowns.”
Earlier this week, Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy introduced a bill meant to at least make it harder for the Democrats to get out the illegal vote. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will never bring it to a vote in the Senate, but at least the GOP can raise awareness. The legislation, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would require proof of citizenship to vote. Yes, it’s already illegal for illegals to vote, but, as Speaker Mike Johnson says, “Election officials have no mechanism to deter them from registering to vote.”
The SAVE legislation “would amend the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, better known as the ‘motor voter law,’ to require that states obtain documentary proof of citizenship from someone before he or she may register to vote,” reports The Daily Signal. “It also would require states to remove noncitizens from existing voter rolls.”
Steven Levitsky, a government professor at Harvard University who studies democracy around the world, says that the Republicans’ refusal to commit to accepting election results is “deeply concerning.” Uh-huh. “Accepting the results of elections is, in effect, the cardinal rule of democracy,” he adds. “It is the first rule of democratic politics. If a major party is not willing to accept defeat in elections, democracy cannot be stable.”
It’s a republic, but whatever. And he’s right about accepting the results of elections being crucial to the health of a nation. But again, Republicans wouldn’t be so reluctant to rubber-stamp the legitimacy of future elections if the Democrats hadn’t already proven their willingness to rig past elections.
