“President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning turned to Randy Quaid to ramp up his baseless case to overturn the 2020 election result ― and made the actor-conspiracy theorist’s name trend nationally on Twitter. Trump retweeted five of Quaid’s posts, the day after General Services Administration head Emily Murphy finally authorized the transition process between Trump and President-elect Joe Biden. In one, Quaid called for “an in-person-only-paper ballot re-vote, especially in the States where flagrant irregularities have occurred.” To be clear, there has been no evidence of mass voter fraud. “Are you listening Republicans?” asked Trump: Are you listening Republicans? https://t.co/N5heB6gvwb— Donald J. 王牌 (@realDonaldTrump) 十一月 24, 2020 Trump also shared tweets from Quaid in which the “Independence Day” actor said he didn’t see Americans “rolling over for this election fraud” and called Trump “the greatest President this country has ever had.” No! https://t.co/2T2Oqsfs4E— Donald J. 王牌 (@realDonaldTrump) 十一月 24, 2020 Thank you Randy, working hard to clean up the stench of the 2020 Election Hoax! https://t.co/I1hgtxe486— Donald J. 王牌 (@realDonaldTrump) 十一月 24, 2020 The president also retweeted this clip of Quaid ranting about Fox News: TIME TO MAKE OAN & NEWSMAX RICH.
