CNN anchor Jake Tapper mocked President Donald Trump’s speech Thursday, saying he wanted Americans to believe that there was a “grand conspiracy” against him.
Tapper explained that Trump, who addressed the nation with regard to ongoing vote counts, appeared to be claiming that everyone had conspired against him to make sure that while other Republicans did well in the 2020 election, he still lost.

WATCH:
“The president would like us to believe, would like the nation to believe that there is this grand conspiracy in every state in the nation to take this election from him,” Tapper began, saying that Trump had been given a list of specific Republican accomplishments to tick off in order to bolster that claim.
“Not one Republican lost a seat in the House. Republicans held onto the Senate, a tremendous night of success for the Republican Party,” Tapper continued, adding that Trump was setting the stage to show that the general election hd played out well for nearly every Republican nationwide — except him.
“So the diabolical Democrats and big money, big media and big tech conspired and we all got together and we decided what we’re going to do is we’re going to help every Republican win elections across the country except for Donald Trump. Does that make sense to anybody except for the most fevered brain?” Tapper asked.
Dana Bash weighed in then, saying that it was not logical, but it wasn’t necessarily surprising to hear something like that from Trump.
“I will say it again, one of the reasons why what we just heard and saw is dangerous and it’s not just because he’s the President of the United States. It is because there are so many people who absolutely love him and believe everything he says,” Bash concluded, arguing that Trump’s comments were “sowing the seeds of doubt” in the American democratic system and could permanently damage his party.

A video shared on Facebook allegedly shows “ballot stuffing” in Michigan during the 2020 presidential election.
Verdict: False
The video, taken in 2018, appears to show an incident during an election in Russia.
Fact Check:
In recent days, misinformation surrounding the 2020 presidential election has been circulating on social media. This Facebook post shares CCTV video in which two women, one in a blue sweater and another in a floral dress, are allegedly at a polling place in Michigan stuffing multiple pieces of paper into a ballot box.
“Ballot stuffing in Michigan removed from Twitter,” one Facebook user remarked. (RELATED: Do These Photos Show Bricks Laid Out For Riots In Detroit?)
But there is no evidence that the video depicts such an incident in the battleground state of Michigan. A search of local news outlets such as WXYZ Detroit, Michigan Live and the Detroit Free Press found no reports of ballot box stuffing occurring in Michigan on Election Day. The video appears to be from 2018, when both AFP News Agency and The Washington Post posted it on their respective YouTube channels.
“Election observers highlighted CCTV footage provided by Russia’s Electoral Commission which appeared to show staff putting extra votes into a ballot box at a polling station in the Russian city of Lyubertsy on the outskirts of Moscow,” reads the description of the AFP News Agency video. “The Electoral Commission has acknowledged this instance appears to show fraud, and has said fraudulent votes will be cancelled.”
The ballot box in the center of the apparent polling place is decorated with a red and gold emblem that bears resemblance to the Russian coat of arms, further indicating that the incident did not take place in Michigan.
“That’s not a Michigan ballot box, nor a Michigan ballot tabulator,” confirmed Jake Rollow, director of communications and external affairs at the Michigan Department of State, in an email to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Nor is it clear the video was shot in a voting location, or even in Michigan.”
