Ex-Aide Says Trump ‘Intellectually He Cannot Accept’ 1 Thing About Voting

Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested former President Donald Trump’s attacks on early voting boil down to two things.

The Republican nominee once again railed against the process at a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday, but also confusingly encouraged it.

Griffin, talking to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, said it gave her “2020 whiplash when his campaign was wanting him to promote early voting, mail-in voting as well during the pandemic and then he would cast out on it.”

Trump “intellectually he cannot accept the fact that you can vote early, it can be safe, it can be tabulated,” she continued. “He just has this very sort of arcane way of looking at it.”

With Trump’s criticism of early voting, Griffin also said he “wants to preemptively cast out the results in case he loses.”

“He’s incapable of losing and accepting that he lost,” she argued. “So it’s kind of two-fold. He genuinely does not, in my understanding, trust early voting. But he also wants to have something to blame if he loses.”

Trump has frequently, baselessly claimed that early voting is vulnerable to fraud. It forms part of his so-called “big lie” that he actually won the 2020 election against President Joe Biden. He didn’t.

For the Trump-Biden head-to-head, which took place amid the coronavirus pandemic, more than 100 million citizens cast their votes early.
