“I Think Kamala Won” – Election Deniers Rosie O’Donnell and Jim Acosta Push Conspiracy Theory That Trump Stole the 2024 Election and is Rigging Midterms

Rosie O’Donnell and former CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta put their Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display this week, teaming up to push what has been referred to as “election denialism” and a “threat to democracy.”

During an interview on Acosta’s show, Rosie declared that Trump stole the election from Kamala Harris. Though Acosta was skeptical about the theory, he endorsed the idea that the midterms will be stolen or outright canceled by Trump.

“So most people are very, very, very shocked, scared, and absolutely astonished that he is the President of the United States, and I think I am too. I mean, part of the reason that I left is I never in a million years thought we would put a convicted felon who tried to start an insurrection back in office,” O’Donnell said. Very ironic considering Trump saying the election was stolen is what these people considered insurrection.

“How did that happen? I don’t think it happened. I think Kamala won. I do,” she continued, as Acosta called her idea “interesting.”

O’Donnell went on with her crazed theory, suggesting that Elon Musk was the golden ticket and that, perhaps, the tech billionaire had something to do with rigging the votes.

“And I think that we’re going to find all this out. It’s going to come out, and it’s, I’m not the first person to say this, there are all these researchers who are saying it. I read it online again today. And you know, the Elon Musk, of it all,” she said, asking Acosta, “What did he do for Donald that was able to give him back all that he gave him back? What did he do, you think, for the Donald in that election?”

But Acosta wasn’t willing to admit that it’s possible to cheat in elections. After all, that would make him a hypocrite after denying that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.

“It’s hard to believe, I mean, especially now, that he, that he, that he won. I mean, it’s, it is hard to believe that. I mean, I, I tend to, you know, maybe it’s because I’m old-fashioned, you know, and patriotic, and grew up in this country, you know, watching, you know, Tom Hanks and Saving Private Ryan, I would never think that something like that can happen. So I tend to trust it,” he stammered. “But I do worry he’s going to try to steal the next one.”

Rosie took the conspiracy theory even further, claiming that Trump isn’t going to steal the election, but cancel it, calling him a “Fascist.”

“Well, I don’t think he’s going to try to steal it. I think he’s going to come up with some big tragedy. We’re going to have an event here in the United States in some capacity, maybe another assassination attempt, and he’s going to declare that the elections are off,” she said. “That’s what I think is going to happen because that’s in the Fascist playbook.”

Acosta was audibly agreeing with her, saying “yes” as she spewed her insane theories.

Hillary Accidentally Revealed the Dems’ Big Secret About Joe Biden

Hillary Clinton sat down with The New Yorker’s David Remnick and, in between trying to rewrite her own role in the Joe Biden disaster, let slip the one admission Democrats have spent a year trying to bury.

Everyone’s talking about Hillary calling Biden’s reelection bid a “terrible mistake,” but to me, that’s not even the biggest reveal in the interview.

“He made a terrible mistake,” Hillary said. “He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.” She went on to claim that if Biden had stepped aside as promised, “we would have had a real contest,” and whoever emerged from it “would have beaten Donald Trump.” That’s hilarious considering she enthusiastically endorsed that very bid back in 2023. Now that the wreckage is impossible to ignore. Once again, Democrats are rushing to rewrite history and their roles in the cover-up.

But that was the headline-grabbing part. It’s also the least interesting part.

The real story was right after, when Remnick pushed Hillary on why none of the Democrat Party’s supposedly powerful voices, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, or Hillary herself, said anything publicly before Biden’s catastrophic June 2024 debate against Trump.

Her answer was extremely revealing.

“I think there were a lot of conversations going on behind the scenes,” Hillary said. “I certainly am aware of that, and participated in a number of them, but there was no way to convince him by going public.”

Read that again. Private conversations. Plural. Before the debate. She was a part of some of them.

The official Democrat Party story has been that Biden’s meltdown on that debate stage was a shocking, one-off event that nobody saw coming, and that the party only began discussing his viability afterward. Hillary just torched that narrative herself. She admitted that efforts to push Biden out were already underway behind closed doors well before he ever stumbled through a sentence on stage.

 FBI Raids Ohio Democrat Ballot Harvesting Group’s Headquarters — This Follows Thousands of Suspect Registrations in 2024 Election

The FBI raided the Cleveland headquarters of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC) on Thursday, as part of an ongoing federal investigation into suspected ballot harvesting and voter fraud operations in the key swing state of Ohio.

Agents also fanned out across the state, showing up at the homes of OOC leaders, staff members, volunteers, and connected community organizers in places like Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati. They served subpoenas, seized electronic devices, and questioned people directly about voter fraud.

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative presents itself as a “pro-democracy” voter registration nonprofit focused on underrepresented communities. In reality, it functions as a Democrat-aligned operation deeply embedded in progressive get-out-the-vote efforts across Ohio’s major cities.

Amuse reported:

Here is more information on the FBI raids. The FBI hit the main office and several homes of the Democrat operatives.

Via the Statehouse News Bureau:

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a group that organizes political activities for Democratic and progressive causes, has been raided by the FBI.

Ohio Organizing Collaborative Board Member Prentiss Haney said FBI agents came to the organization’s Cleveland office yesterday. He said agents have fanned out and questioned people who work with his organization. Haney said agents have searched and sometimes taken laptops and electronic devices as well as interviewed people who work with the organization.

“This is not normal business. I mean there’s no reason for over 100 agents to be knocking on the doors of everyday Ohioans,” Haney said. “Demanding and accusing people of voter fraud as if it was a witch hunt and, and scaring them with the children, following them in their cars to school and to work. I mean this was a full-out assault. I mean, we haven’t seen anything like this since Selma. And so this was completely um politically motivated.”

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative has a documented history of voter registration fraud. In 2017, paid canvasser Rebecca A. Hammonds, who worked directly for the group, pleaded guilty to multiple counts of falsely registering people to vote and forging signatures on voter registration forms. She was sentenced to six months in jail. Some of the fraudulent registrations were even submitted for dead people.

Jill Biden Stumped When Asked if Joe Biden Would Be Able to Serve as President if He Was Elected in 2024 

Dr. Jill was stumped when asked if Joe Biden would be able to serve as president if he were elected during her latest interview amid her tour for her book, “View from the East Wing.”

Jill Biden continued to make the media rounds on Tuesday and appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” to discuss life after the White House and Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

The Morning Joe host asked Jill Biden if Joe Biden could have served four years had he won the election in 2024.

Jill insisted that Biden would have beaten Trump if he stayed in the race.

“I believe he would have beat Donald Trump in that election,” Jill Biden said.

“Had [Biden] been elected again, would he be able to serve as President?” MS NOW host Jonathan Lemire asked Dr. Jill.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” Jill Biden said.

‘Giant Turd’: Progressive Dems Continue To Rage At DNC 2024 Autopsy

This past week the DNC released its autopsy of the 2024 election. DNC chair Ken Martin sat on it for months, assured us there was no smoking gun, promised he’d already been sharing the lessons, and then finally dropped the 48,000 words on a Thursday with a note on the front saying the findings don’t reflect the views of the DNC. He released the autopsy and disowned it simultaneously.

I get why he’d disown it. It’s a big turd. But the whole time he buried it, Martin kept saying the lessons from this report were already being put to work. Lessons. We’re keeping the focus on the lessons, he’d say. We’ve been releasing the lessons. I read it, most of it. It’s not that there are no recommendations. There are plenty. Go heavier on digital and connected TV, lighter on broadcast. Organize earlier. Rebuild the state parties. Those are the lessons. If they’ve taken any of them, they’ve taken the wrong ones, and there’s a reason for that.

Every question in the report is a variation on the same question. How do we campaign better with what we’ve got? How do we market this thing more effectively to the people we’re trying to sell it to? Never once do they stop and ask whether the thing they’re selling is bullshit. Whether the product is any good. Whether a single promise in it would fix a single person’s life.

Every problem this autopsy was built to diagnose is still here in 2026, we’ve yet to solve a damn one of them.

It was never about governing. It was about winning for the sake of winning, with no theory of what to do with the power once they have it. The DNC still isn’t looking for a mission of its own. It tells the campaigns to build their own contrast and definition and leaves the meaning to everyone else. The party is a machine with no idea what it’s for.

To the contrary, it’s pretty pleased with itself. The report never once treats the Biden record as a failure. Its gripe about Bidenomics isn’t that it failed people, it’s that the message leaned on big macro statistics instead of the daily reality people were actually living. When the party lost down the ballot, the report decided strong local candidates just needed to define themselves better. They’re certain Democrats are doing a great job, and that it’s just their inability to explain how awesome they are that keeps them out of power.

What I see in this report is the Biden administration in miniature. Biden was sold to us, by the press and by his own people, as proof of what Democrats could do if they got back to their FDR roots. We got the CHIPS Act. We got the IRA. We got the bipartisan infrastructure law. We were told it was the most historic spending in generations. But the rubber never hits the road. Lives weren’t transformed. Why? Because these people refuse to admit that the systems they are funding are no longer productive.

They refuse to look at the difference between an input and an output. Effort and results. You can pour trillions into a financialized housing market and a six-trillion-dollar healthcare industry, but if you never touch the monopolies and the middlemen and the rot underneath, nothing useful comes out the other side. It’s worse than that. Pour more money into an out-of-control healthcare industry and all you’ve built is a stronger monopoly, a more powerful opponent.

It’s the genocide, stupid

On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) finally released its long-awaited autopsy of Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign.

The rollout was highly on-brand for the Democratic establishment. The 192-page document seems slapped together, is full of typos, and was released only because CNN obtained a copy. In an accompanying note, DNC Chair Ken Martin said the report didn’t meet his standards, but that it was being released “because people need to be able to trust the Democratic Party and trust our word.”

In fact, the report has further eroded that trust by omitting some big, obvious reasons why Harris lost. Concerns about Biden’s age and his inexplicable decision to run for reelection are barely mentioned, and there’s virtually no analysis of the Democratic policies that might have helped propel Trump to another victory.

If one were compiling such a list, support for the Gaza genocide would presumably be near the top, but the issue is not mentioned once in the massive report.

You’ll recall that Harris never distanced herself from Biden on this question. In her first interview after becoming the nominee, she maintained the party line on Israel, reciting the usual claptrap about the country’s right to “defend itself.” Asked point-blank whether her foreign policy would differ from Biden’s at all, she said it would remain the same. That is to say, the United States would continue to send weapons to Israel while the country carried out a genocide.

A couple of months later, she reiterated her position on The View, telling the hosts that she couldn’t think of anything she would do differently. Although later in the interview she said that, unlike Biden, she would put Republicans in her cabinet.

Throughout the Harris campaign, Palestine advocates called on the former Senator to shift her position and take a firm stance against Israel’s actions.

“By taking a strong stand against Netanyahu’s authoritarian policies, the Biden-Harris administration can unify the Democratic Party and regain the trust of key voter bases, including young people, Arabs, and Muslims,” read an open letter to Harris from the Not Another Bomb coalition to Harris at the time. “This decisive action will reinforce the administration’s commitment to democracy and human rights, contrasting sharply with the far-right extremism embodied by Trump and his supporters. It sends a clear message that the Democratic Party stands for peace, justice, and the protection of all people, thereby strengthening the coalition needed to secure victory in the 2024 elections and beyond.”

She wouldn’t budge.

At the Democratic National Convention that August, the Uncommitted Movement pushed for a Palestinian speaker to be included. “The difficulty in approving even a single Palestinian American speaker among the dozens of speakers on the convention stage sends a troubling message to our anti-war voters, suggesting they aren’t truly included in this party,” explained a statement from the organization’s founders.

The request was denied.

It’s inaccurate to say the campaign simply ignored these issues. On the contrary, they leaned in from the opposite direction, embracing hawkish former House member Liz Cheney and sending Rep. Ritchie Torres to Michigan, the state with the highest percentage of Arab Americans, to tell voters that Harris would stand with Israel.

There’s a certain kind of centrist pundit who likes to wax sarcastic about the 2024 election and point out that Trump is also an ardent supporter of Israel. The inference is that people concerned about Gaza accomplished nothing by voting against Harris.

However, this brand of snark often presupposes that people fed up with the genocide actually voted. Yes, some people backed Trump because they irrationally believed that the guy currently bombing Iran was antiwar, but the actual number of people that foolish is presumably negligible. Much hay is also made over the Green Party, but Jill Stein got fewer than 900,000 votes and thus had no discernible impact on the ultimate result.

Dysfunctional Democrats Calling on DNC Chair Ken Martin to Resign Over Lame 2024 Election Autopsy Report

Democrats are furious about the long awaited 2024 election autopsy report. DNC Chair Ken Martin slow walked releasing the report for months and when it finally came out this week, no one on the left was happy about it.

They’re angry about how long it took to release it. They’re angry about what it says, and they’re angry about what it doesn’t say.

Amazingly, the report completely avoids some of the issues that crushed the Democrats, issues that were extremely important to voters, like the border and immigration, trans people in sports and locker rooms, and trans procedures for kids, just to name a few.

Now they want Martin out as a result.

Breitbart News reported:

Dems Calling for DNC Chair to Resign Following Release of 2024 Election Autopsy

Members of Congress are calling for the party’s Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin to resign following the release of the DNC’s 2024 election autopsy on Thursday.

The comments by critical Democratic house members, quoted by Axios, were blunt:

“He should resign,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) cited to Axios “his lack of leadership,” saying it is “utterly nuts it took us this long to release the autopsy.”

Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.) said in response to a caller on a radio who argued Martin should be replaced, said, “I agree. … Having what we have right now is not doing it.”

Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) told one news outlet that “there doesn’t seem to be a plan to turn things around and the clock is ticking … I believe it’s time for him to move on.”

Further motivating the disfavor are the “DNC’s anemic fundraising numbers compared to its GOP counterpart,” according to Axios.

The DNC’s 2024 Autopsy Is Here, and Oh Boy, It’s a Dumpster Fire

The DNC has finally released its 2024 election autopsy, and if you were hoping for a moment of genuine Democratic self-reflection, prepare to be disappointed.

The report took forever to see the light of day, and DNC Chairman Ken Martin’s explanation for the delay was something else. “When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime — not even close — and because no source material was provided, it would have meant starting over. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced,” Martin said. So the party that wants to run your healthcare couldn’t manage to produce a competent internal review? That’s comforting.

Of course, most of what the autopsy actually concludes isn’t exactly earth-shattering. Democrats didn’t just lose because of Donald Trump. They lost because they’ve spent years drifting away from working-class voters, men, rural America, and irregular voters, while banking everything on anti-Trump messaging and demographic assumptions that turned out to be dead wrong.

Gee, we’ve been saying that for years.

The report traces these organizational, messaging, and cultural failures back more than a decade. That’s the Democrats’ attempt to spread the blame thin enough that no one person has to own it.

I’m sorry, but that’s still such a cop out. Remember, Democrats have had Hollywood, the public school system, and virtually the entire media apparatus doing their bidding for years. With all that infrastructure, losing this badly isn’t a messaging problem. It’s a “you” problem, and from what I can tell, the document doesn’t acknowledge this at all.

Still, some of the admissions in the report are interesting.

“A persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement,” the report states. It’s not wrong. The party that claims to speak for ordinary Americans stopped listening to them somewhere along the way. The report even concedes it directly. “The party’s connections with working Americans and their families were forged through decades of organizing and engagement,” but “we have lost these relationships.”

That’s a nice way of saying that Democrats have become the party of the coastal elites, not the average American.

There’s also an acknowledgment that Democrats became addicted to identity politics and abstract rhetoric at the expense of kitchen-table issues. The report calls on Democrats to “focus less on abstract issues and identity politics, and connect with voters on the issues they say matter most, including the economy, disaster relief, and addressing housing affordability.”

Former Harris Campaign Manager Goes on MSNOW and Proves Democrats Still Don’t Understand Why Kamala Lost

A senior official from Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign appeared on MSNOW Sunday to explain why Harris lost the 2024 election, but the answer is not complicated.

Rob Flaherty, who served as Harris’ deputy campaign manager, joined MSNOW after writing that Democrats had tactics, ads, creators, social media moments, and viral content, but lacked a real brand.

That may sound like a serious political diagnosis inside Washington, D.C. But outside the consultant class, the reason Harris lost was obvious. The American people rejected a campaign that was detached from their lives, obsessed with left-wing social issues, and unable to speak like normal people.

Democrats are now trying to turn Harris’ loss into a branding problem. It was not. Harris had a brand. The problem was what the brand represented.

Her brand was DEI politics. Her brand was identity politics. Her brand was the idea that Americans should view candidates, policies, schools, businesses, and government through race, gender, and sexuality. 

Her brand was the modern Democrat Party’s obsession with catering to a tiny activist class while ignoring the everyday concerns of working Americans.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR: Kamala Harris Wants Democrats to Release 2024 Campaign Autopsy Report

Failed Democrat presidential candidate and former Vice President Kamala Harris is calling on her party to release their 2024 campaign autopsy report. The party received the report months ago but has refused to make the findings public.

Who wants to tell Kamala Harris that she probably should not be pushing for this?

The report is likely full of data about what an absolutely awful candidate she was and how the voting public couldn’t stand the sound of her voice and shuddered every time she was asked to answer a simple question.

NBC News reports:

Kamala Harris wants the DNC to release its autopsy report on the 2024 campaign

As former Vice President Kamala Harris considers another run for president, she is also signaling that she has no problem with a public airing of what went wrong last time — telling donors she believes the Democratic National Committee should release its buried autopsy of her failed 2024 campaign, according to a person who has heard the conversations.

While she indicated to donors that she had no issue with releasing it, Harris has not discussed the postmortem with DNC Chairman Ken Martin and did not know about his decision to keep it under wraps until it happened, this person said.

Like most prospective candidates, Harris is staying involved in political affairs. That includes touring the country, giving speeches to state parties, developing the framework for a policy platform and sounding out fellow Democrats about her next chapter.

What’s unique about Harris is that while she tries to orient toward the future, many in her party are actively fighting over whether to keep examining the flaws of her last campaign…

The subject of the autopsy’s release has grown into a flash point in the party, and it is dogging Martin, who had promised to conduct a comprehensive review of the defeat and share it with the public. Neither Martin nor the DNC responded to a request for comment.

Democrats are in a real bind here. The report is probably very damning to Harris, yet she could actually end up being their 2028 nominee. How can they release this without damaging her at the same time?
