Right-wing media defend those indicted in Arizona fake electors scheme through false comparisons and debunked election-fraud claims – By Audrey McCabe (Media Matters) / April 25, 2024
Right-wing media figures continue to push election lies, claiming this type of election fraud “happens every election cycle”
Multiple Arizona Republicans and members of former President Donald Trump’s inner circle were indicted for election interference during the 2020 presidential election, and right-wing media figures have responded by arguing that their scheme was lawful.
Other right-wing figures have twisted the complicated rules of the Electoral College to make false comparisons to previous elections and pretend that the fake elector scheme was within the bounds of the system.
