“They need to turn to people that they trust and to sources of information that they trust and not rumors and not nonsense included in lawsuits or anything else like that…"

I won’t matter. Anyone who tries to debunk the conspiracy is just a part of the conspiracy. This is why you can never argue successfully with a conspiracy theorist any more than you can argue successfully with someone who is truly delusional.

Try proving to someone who thinks he’s Napoleon that he really isn’t. It’s like that with most Trump supporters.

Giuliani, had falsely told Fox News over the weekend that Philadelphia is “an epicenter of voter fraud” adding that the campaign was “going to be looking at dead persons’ ballots, which may actually be very, very substantial.”

Commissioner Al Schmidt’s statement was translated to Mr Giuliani as: Foke yoose Rudy.
