OMG: Trump judicial nominees FREAK OUT when asked who won in 2020

Thanks, Madam Chair.Judge Cook, who won the 2020 election?

A joint session of Congress certified that Joseph Biden won the election, and therefore, as a matter of law, he was the winner, Senator.

How many times have you rehearsed that answer with the White House?

I actually never spoke to the White House about that answer, Senator.

You knew what the answer was going to be because you've watched all the others give that canned, pre -planned answer, correct?

I have watched a lot of videos.

You have watched everyone before you and you know what the routine is and what the President of the United States expects you to say, regardless of whether it is the truth or not, correct?

Again, I've watched a lot of videos and I'm trying to be very precise.

Who won the popular vote in the 2020 election?

So if you look at each state, the governor under one of our acts is required to certify.

You're essentially unwilling to tell me who won the popular vote.the 2020 election, who won the popular vote.

Mr. Cook, in 2008, Barack Obama ran against John McCain.Who won that election?

I believe President Obama was sworn into office, so I'm certain he won, Senator.

And John McCain lost that election?

Yes, Senator.

Four years later, Barack Obama ran against Mitt Romney.Who won that election?

President Obama was sworn into office, so I'm certain he was elected as a matter of law, Senator.

And did Romney lose the election?That's the natural, logical converse of that.Yes.In 2016, Donald Trump ran against Hillary Clinton.Who won that election?

He was sworn into office.So as a matter of law, he was elected to that office, Senator.So Donald Trump won that election?That would be the natural assumption.

Yes, Senator.Is it really an assumption you have to make?Did Donald Trump defeat Hillary Clinton?In the Electoral College, he did.Yes, Senator.Do you have some uncertainty about whether he won that election?

No, I'm trying to be precise about what I'm saying.

Yes, he won in the Electoral College because - And Joe Biden in 20, well, in the 2020 election, who won between Donald Trump and Joe Biden?

Well, Joe Biden was certified by a joint session of Congress, and so as a matter of law, he was the elected president.

But as a matter of fact, who won that election?

We implement the 12th Amendment, and under that, he was elected.

As a matter of fact, who won that election?Just as a simple matter of fact.Somebody asked you out on the street, who won the election in 2020?What would your answer be?Who won and who lost?

I would say as a matter of law, he was elected, Senator.

And as a matter of fact, that you're somehow separating the law and facts as a matter of actual fact, who won the election in 2020?It's a fact that the Electoral College vote was more for Joe Biden.You seem to have real difficulty with that question.In 2024, Donald Trump ran against Kamala Harris, who won that election.

President Trump had more Electoral College votes, and so the joint session in Congress certified him as the winner.So Donald Trump won that election?As a matter of law, he was elected, Senator.

And Kamala Harris lost that election.That was the converse.Yes, Senator.And Mr. Candeb, in 2016, when Donald Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, who won that election?

Donald Trump was certified as winner by the United States Congress.

Did he in fact win?

He was certified as winner.

Did he in fact win?

He was certified as winner.

Do you have some doubt?

Well, if you want to stump a Republican in the year 2026, all you have to do is ask one simple question.Who won the 2020 election?It has now become the litmus test to see which nominees are in fact groveling sycophants more focused on currying favor with the God King than those who are willing to defer to objective reality.And even though they all know it, It's clear that they have not yet found a way not to make themselves look like absolute clowns while they dance around telling the truth for fear of upsetting dear leader.But still, Democrats ask it because, I gotta say, there is something very telling about this humiliation ritual.Although, I gotta say, it certainly was an interesting technique by Judge Cook, knowing what the ultimate question was going to be, to start answering every election -based question by not saying who won their respective races, but rather who was certified.

You see, it's disqualifying for you to dare ever acknowledge that Biden won that race in 2020.So instead, you need to say that Biden was certified the winner, because that preserves your deniability.But that means that you have to be consistent.So now Trump judges know that they can't say any candidate ever won an election.They can only say that certain candidates were certified.So now it's not just Joe Biden, but also Obama, also Bush, also Clinton.

Hell, George Washington might have been certified the winner, but don't you dare say that he won his election.And here's the thing that makes this so much more than just an awkward hearing moment, even though, yes, it was an awkward hearing moment.This isn't one nominee having a bad day.This is now the official House style of every Trump judicial nominee going back well over a year.Senator Blumenthal has run this exact exercise over and over, hearing after hearing, and gotten the exact same non -answer every single time.Nominees for the Southern District of Texas, certified.

Nominees for South Carolina, for Montana, the Virgin Islands, the Court of International Trade, certified.Nominees answering written questions for the record months later, with all the time in the world to think about their answer, with lawyers reviewing every word, still just certified.A Demand Justice report that reviewed 27 separate nominees found that not a single one Not one would affirmatively say that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.This isn't nerves.It is a script.Somebody somewhere handed these people the same evasive little index card and they all have, without exception, decided that their careers are worth more than a fourth grade civics fact.

Or just as likely, they've seen the writing on the wall because, as was mentioned in this hearing, they've all seen those other nominees have to answer this question and they've decided that they know what to do.And it's not just this election question, either.It's the exact same Dodge on January 6th, asked him if the Capitol was attacked that day, and suddenly these nominees, all of them lawyers, all of them supposedly committed to precision and fact -finding as a profession, discovered that they've never heard of the concept of an attack.One nominee told Blumenthal that it was a matter of public controversy and debate that individuals entered the Capitol.That's a quote.Not that they stormed the Capitol, not that they attacked the Capitol, but merely entered.

As though 140 police officers were injured, some of them killed because a tour group got a little lost.And look, Blumenthal put it best when he asked, quote, don't you feel kind of like monkeys or puppets here?Because that's exactly what this is.These aren't independent legal minds being asked to to interpret the Constitution without fear or favor.These are people who have already demonstrated under oath in front of the entire country that when the objective, provable, truth conflicts with what the president wants to hear, they will choose the president every single time.And we're supposed to trust these people.

rule fairly on election law, on January 6th prosecutions, on any case where Donald Trump's interests are on the line.These nominees have already told us in advance exactly whose side they're on.We should probably believe them.Before you go, one quick request.It's become clear to me that this White House is dead set on preventing me from reaching any audience.Trump's decision to put me as the first name on his enemies list is a testament to that.
