I got the essence of it.
Trump claimed China interfered in our elections, asserted that voting lists were full of fake electors, dead people, decried mail-in voting and angrily denounced networks which would not air his speech threatening to take away their broadcast licenses.
While ABC, NBC and CNN did not air the speech on broadcast and network TV, it was available on their streaming services.
In other words, anyone who wanted to watch Trump spew bullshit could do so online at the touch of a fingertip.
Trump also did not see fit to mention that the networks refused to air President Biden's speech on democracy in September 2022. Perhaps they ought to have:
MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they’re working right now as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.
President Trump proceeded to spend this evening validating Biden's points. Trump will do everything he can to prevent an election result he doesn't like and, if that result comes to pass, to move Heaven and Earth to ensure there is no peaceful transfer of power starting with the November midterms.
Had we only listened to President Biden.
