Never before has the opposition undermined the legitimacy of a new President before he has even taken office to anything like this degree or in this fashion.
It is vital that as President, tell his base and tell the whole country that he believes Joe Biden is a legitimate President, that he has not been put there by fraud.
One more sign that he just doesn't give a damn how he changes our traditions and overrides our norms.
