Following Donald Trump\u2019s repeated refusal to commit to accepting the results of the next election and Lara Trump\u2019s shameful attempts to follow his election denier lead, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter Donald Trump refused to commit to accepting the results of the election three times <\/em>last night, Lara Trump is following his lead in whitewashing January 6 when insurrectionists stormed our Capitol. This is what has become of the MAGA Republican Party. Lara Trump is pushing the same dangerous election denier agenda that has taken over Donald Trump\u2019s GOP while downplaying the violent attacks against law enforcement and the rule of law that threatened our democracy. In case it wasn\u2019t clear enough, Donald Trump and the rest of his MAGA lackeys are showing that democracy is on the line in this election.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, Lara Trump downplayed January 6, claiming the problem was too much \u201cfocus\u201d on this violent attack against our democracy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linsey Davis:<\/a> \u201cAt one point Biden asked Trump directly if he would denounce the Proud Boys and insurrectionists. Donald Trump did not answer. Does he denounce the Proud Boys and what happened on January 6?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump: \u201cWell, I think the problem that we have with January 6 is that it has been very focused on<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lara Trump is a self-described \u201cultra-MAGA\u201d extremist who continues to push baseless lies about the 2020 election.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allan Smith, NBC News<\/a>: \u201cLara Trump, embracing \u2018ultra-MAGA\u2019 label, says it\u2019s \u2018nothing to be ashamed of\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cRNC under Lara Trump spreads \u2018massive fraud\u2019 claims about 2020 election\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Media Matters<\/a>: \u201cOn her podcast, RNC co-chair Lara Trump says she doesn\u2019t believe 81 million people voted for President Joe Biden in the 2020 election\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lara Trump<\/a>: \u201cBecause here\u2019s the goal, folks. I don\u2019t ever \u2013 and I know you don\u2019t either \u2013 want to repeat 2020 and the atrocities of that election ever again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lara Trump<\/a>: \u201cThe bulk of the staff you will see in our building is focused solely on election integrity. Because let\u2019s be honest, we can never repeat 2020 ever again. We\u2019re never going to do that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lara Trump ahead of January 6<\/a>: \u201cWe want to make sure that if there is a contested vote, anybody who doesn\u2019t want to certify the votes for Joe Biden, that they get their chance to debate that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
