The disgraced comedian Kathy Griffin has argued that President Trump stole the 2024 election through vote tampering.
In an interview with former CNN anchor Don Lemon, Griffin outlined a conspiracy theory in which Trump and Elon Musk tampered with the election in a way Democrats did in the 2020 presidential race.
Lemon responded by endorsing her theory.
Here is a transcript of the exchange:
GRIFFIN: Are you ready for a tinfoil hat moment?
LEMON: Yes.
GRIFFIN: Okay, I’m just going to be bold and say this. And, you know, you can take issue with this all you want.
I do not think he won in a free and fair election. How do you like that, lefties? Yeah, I said it. I’m Kathy Griffin, and I do not think Trump won in a free and fair election. I believe there was tampering. I don’t know. I don’t know if it was the Elon connection.
I don’t know if it was just a few good old boys in the South who didn’t do that. You know, I mean, what they accuse us of, if you remember Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss, what they tend to accuse us of is what we find out they themselves did. So I know I’ll take heat for this, and people are going to say I’m crazy, but I’ve been called crazy before, Don.
LEMON:. Your gut is telling you something happened.
GRIFFIN: My gut is telling me that something was up with them.
LEMON: You’re not far off. I won’t say that I disagree with you. But, you know, I’m an evidence person. I’d like to see the evidence. I think something was off.
And especially, you know, when someone said, oh, we’ve got this. And, you know, how do you know that? How do you know we’ve got this? I don’t need your vote or anything like that. It’s a little bit odd.
GRIFFIN: This will be the last election. We won’t have any elections after this.
LEMON: Vote for me and you won’t have to vote again anymore. And also, you know, as you said, every accusation is a confession.
