With the media declaring Joe Biden president elect, and Biden himself forming a transitional team, it sure seems that his promise in September to allow the election to be independently certified before claiming victory was empty rhetoric.

During the first Presidential debate Biden was asked by Chris Wallace “Will you urge your supporters to stay calm while the vote is counted, and will you pledge not to declare victory until the election is independently certified?”

While the question was clearly aimed at Trump, both candidates gave responses.

Biden replied in the affirmative, pledging “We’ll count the ballots. As you pointed out, some of these ballots in some states can’t even be opened until Election Day, and if there’s thousands of ballots, it’s going to take time to do it.”

So much for that pledge.

Biden gave a victory speech just four days after the election, urging “we’re going to get right to work,” while votes are still being counted, and lawsuits prepared.

Biden has reportedly already been speaking with foreign leaders, a move which some charge is a breach of the Logan Act.

The media gaslighting for Biden has reached levels never before witnessed.

The latest example came Tuesday night with CNN’s ~~Fredo~~ Chris Cuomo labelling President Trump a “dead man haunting the halls of a country in crisis.”

Cuomo played a clip of Barack Obama pledging a smooth transition between his and Trump’s presidency in 2016, then proclaiming “That from a president and now we’re hearing from Trump who is no president.”

“He is a dissident at best and a revenant in the main,” Cuomo added.

The host continued “You have to keep that energy up too. You have to be outraged by this. If this dead man walking and his zombie pals in Congress are looking to make this transition into a complete horror show, the only thing that’s going to stop them is the outrage of what they know just bit them in the behind at the polls, you coming out and being active like they did not expect.”

Communist level propaganda from CNN’s finest:

Donald Trump to Counter-Program Second GOP Debate by Appearing with Striking Auto Workers in Detroit

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members.

Former President Donald Trump will appear with striking union members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Detroit, Michigan, as his opponents squabble for the spotlight on the debate stage on September 27, according to a report that multiple sources have confirmed to Breitbart News.

The New York Times first reported on Trump’s forthcoming appearance with Detroit auto workers striking against the big three automakers — General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis — which will serve as counter-programming to the GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The GOP frontrunner will deliver a “prime-time speech before current and former union members,” according to the Times, as they strike for higher wages following 40-year-high inflation and seek commitments from automakers and the federal government that Biden’s electrical vehicle agenda will not threaten their jobs or pay, as Breitbart News has documented.

Multiple Trump aides have confirmed the 45th president’s plans to Breitbart News.

Trump, who regularly takes a majority of support in independent national GOP primary polls, is keeping with the strategy his campaign employed in the first debate when he skipped the event and instead joined Tucker Carlson for a one-on-one 45-minute interview on the host’s eponymously-named show, Tucker on Twitter.

After battling the counter-programming, which was released at the start of the first GOP debate on August 23 and instantly went viral, debate storylines quickly fell to the wayside when Trump surrendered in Fulton County, Georgia, on his fourth indictment a day later. The arrest produced the now-iconic mugshot of Trump, the first-ever mugshot of a former president of the United States.

Trump’s latest plans further signal his focus on a potential general election rematch with President Joe Biden rather than the Republican primary, as union workers who were long the foundation of the Democrat coalition were pivotal in helping elect him to office in 2016, as Breitbart News’s John Binder emphasized on Saturday:

In 2016, union workers helped propel Trump and his nationalist-populist agenda to the White House — scoring the most support among union households for any Republican presidential candidate since former President Ronald Reagan in 1984.
In 2020, Biden helped widen that gap by taking 57 percent of union households compared to Trump’s 40 percent. Trump could significantly increase his share of union households in a rematch against Biden by registering to vote millions of non-college-educated whites in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania who remain disenfranchised.

Binder’s report highlighted that the Detroit Free Press first revealed that Trump was weighing a visit to Michigan to meet with UAW members striking against the Big Three automakers.
