After four years of that, being told that the last election was fake and that Donald Trump wasn’t really elected and that Russia intervened – after four years that, now these same people are told ‘You just sit down and shut up; if you have any concerns about election integrity you’re a nutcase and you should shut up.’

Well I tell you what. 74 million Americans are not going to shut up and telling them that their views don’t matter and that their concerns don’t matter, that they should just be quiet, is not a recipe for success in this country. It’s not a recipe for the unity that I hear now the other side is suddenly so interested in after years and years of trying to delegitimize President Donald Trump.

So suffice it to say that I’m not too keen on lectures about how Missourians and others who voted for President Trump, and now have some concerns about fraud, about integrity, about compliance with the law, should just be quiet and that they are somehow not patriotic if they raise these questions. It’s absolutely unbelievable.
