This is something I have been saying for a while. It's just a complaint, but well worded. There was a video with it, but I don't know how to email a video, and it's just stuff you have probably heard -- Trump saying the election was rigged -- over and over and over again. Now they are saying they have proof that Obama rigged the election. Obama.
Yikes.

If my daughter lost a soccer game and spent the next six years blaming the referee, the scoreboard, the other team, the weather, and everyone except herself, I’d sit her down and have a serious conversation about accountability.
That’s called being a parent.
We teach our children to tell the truth.
We teach them to accept responsibility.
We teach them that sometimes you lose.
What we don’t teach them is to spend years inventing excuses because reality hurts their feelings.
Yet that is exactly what America has been forced to endure from Donald Trump.
This video is nothing but excuse after excuse, blame after blame, conspiracy after conspiracy.
Obama.
Democrats.
Election workers.
Judges.
The media.
Anybody. Everybody.
Anyone except the man staring back at him in the mirror.
At some point, a grown man is supposed to accept defeat.
At some point, a leader is supposed to tell the truth.
At some point, accountability has to matter.
We all know the 2020 election was not stolen.
So do the more than 60 court cases that rejected those claims.
So do the Republican and Democratic judges who heard them.
So do the election officials across the country who repeatedly confirmed the results.
Yet here we are, years later, still listening to the same nonsense.
This is not strength.
This is not leadership.
This is not the America I grew up in.
This is not the South Dakota way.
In South Dakota, when you lose, you shake hands, accept the outcome, and get back to work.
You don’t spend years accusing your neighbors of fraud because your ego can’t handle losing.
What disgusts me most is the damage this has done to public confidence in our elections.
For most of my life, Republicans and Democrats both accepted election results, even when they didn’t like them.
Today, millions of Americans have been taught that every election they lose must be rigged.
That poison didn’t appear out of thin air.
It came from a man who would rather undermine faith in American democracy than admit he got beat.
We would not tolerate this behavior from our children.
We would not tolerate it from our coworkers.
We would not tolerate it from our neighbors.
Why are we expected to tolerate it from a President?
I don’t.
My opinion is simple:
Donald Trump is a sore loser.
And the constant lies, excuses, and conspiracy theories have done more damage to confidence in American elections than any election official, voting machine, or ballot box ever has.
A leader accepts reality.
A manchild blames everyone else.
Character still matters to me.
