Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, gave back better than she got during a fiery interview with another biased CNN host on Sunday’s “State of the Union” program.
Guest host Kasie Hunt echoed the same question her left-wing media colleagues have been asking now for weeks of every Republican and everyone in TrumpWorld: “Will you accept the results of the 2024 election?” — which Lara Trump was obviously prepared to answer.
“Of course, if this is a free, fair, and transparent election, absolutely. Actually, we‘re doing everything we can from the RNC to ensure that, indeed, that happens. We are working overtime to make sure that every American Republican, Democrat, and Independent feels good about our electoral process because, Kasie, we can‘t repeat an election as we had in 2020, where you had half the country with huge sweeping questions about what happened that never got answered. That‘s not who we are as a country. We need transparency,” Lara Trump stated.
“If Joe Biden wins, will you —” Hunt attempted.
“If it is a free and fair election, absolutely, but will you guys? If Donald Trump wins, will you accept those results? Because that‘s the real question. Everybody has said, will we accept them? Of course, we will, but we want a free election and —” Lara Trump continued.
“Well, there was zero evidence of widespread fraud that could have changed the ultimate outcome in 2020,” Hunt said while interrupting again.
“Absolutely not. Most of those lawsuits were swept away on clerical errors. And actually, if you look at people who were told that the Hunter Biden laptop story was a fake story, enough of them would have voted against Joe Biden and for Donald Trump, that it solely would’ve swung the election in and of itself. So that alone is enough,” Lara Trump responded.
“But then people really wanted to know, well, what happened across the country? We never got those answers. I can tell you, yes. We will accept the results of this election if we feel that it is free, fair, and transparent, and we are working overtime to ensure that indeed that happens,” Trump continued.
WATCH:
Following the 2020 election, voters across the U.S. raised concerns about the election results and the perceived lack of transparency in many states, particularly in major swing states. Before the election, a New York Post report surfaced about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, revealing emails from a laptop that purportedly contained evidence of wrongdoing and other scandalous activities. However, social media platforms like Twitter censored this information, and Democrats claimed that the laptop was allegedly part of a Russian disinformation campaign, a claim that has since been widely debunked.
Polling indicates that blocking the story may have potentially influenced the outcome of the 2020 election, as many Americans have stated that knowledge of the laptop prior to the election would have affected their vote. In a 2022 survey conducted by the New Jersey-based Technometrica Institute of Policy and Politics, 47% of voters stated that “knowing before the election that the laptop contents were real and not ‘disinformation’ would have changed their voting decision.” This sentiment was shared by over two-thirds of the Democrats polled.
