MEDIA WINNER: Terry Moran ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran repeatedly grilled RNC spokesperson Paris Dennard Tuesday over whether he accepts that the 2020 presidential election was legitimate. The subject comes up a lot, and was particularly relevant this week as the Liz Cheney saga unfolds. Moran started by asking Dennard, âDo you accept the results of the 2020 election as legitimate?â Dennard started to say, âWhat I do not accept is the fact there areâŚâ âThatâs not the question I asked,â Moran immediately said. âItâs a yes or no question. This is the test in the country right now. So just so our audience knows who you are, what side youâre on, do you accept the democratic processes as certified by each of the 50 sovereign states, 60 courts of law, and the people of the United States? Do you accept the election as legitimate?â Dennard said every American seeing Biden in the White House right now accepts that he is president. Moran loudly sighed and said, âThatâs not a yes or no.â âIs it a legitimate election under our Constitution and laws? Yes or no?â he asked. All Dennard said was, âJoe Biden is the president. That is a statement of fact because thatâs what he is.â âYou cannot affirm our own Constitution and laws working in this election,â a perplexed Moran said. âYou cannot do that. Is that because youâre scared or because you donât believe that our democracy actually worked last November?â And yes, the grilling continued. A classic of true journalistic form. |
