A confrontation Wednesday night between Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, and an Illinois Senate candidate highlighted the divide in the Republican Party over former President Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
Crenshaw was appearing at a fundraiser for the Illinois Republican Party in Rosemont when Bobby Piton, who is running for the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate in the state, pushed him on the conspiracy theory that Trump actually won the 2020 presidential election. When Crenshaw said, “Don’t kid yourself into believing [fraud] is why we lost, it’s not,” Piton interrupted him, saying, “You’re wrong.”in Arizona’s Maricopa County. “It’s going to turn out and it’s going to flip. You watch.
? Yeah, there probably is,” Crenshaw said. “But enough that Trump won? No, absolutely not. Five different states. Hundreds of thousands of votes. You’re kidding yourself.”Polls indicate that most Republicans believe Trump’s claims about the 2020 election, despite an absence of evidence.66 percent of Republicans continue to insist that “the election was rigged and stolen from Trump,” while just 18 percent believe “Joe Biden won fair and square.
The Maricopa County vote count cited by Piton has dragged on for months and resulted in infighting among Arizona Republicans. The unofficial “audit” cannot overturn the results of the election and has been referred to as an “adventure in never-never land” by Jack Sellers, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
“If you haven’t figured out that the election in Maricopa County was free, fair and accurate yet, I’m not sure you ever will. ... There was no fraud, there wasn’t an injection of ballots from Asia nor was there a satellite that beamed votes in our election equipment,”
