It has been noted that Pittsburgh anchor Jon Delano of CBS Pittsburgh KDKA recently pushed former President Donald Trump strongly when Trump claimed he “ABSOLUTELY” won Pennsylvania — which he lost to President Joe Biden via Mediaite.
President Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020 by over 80,000 votes. Delano bagged an exclusive interview with Trump on Tuesday and wrapped up by asking if he had “concerns” about voting in 2024. Trump spewed falsehoods and debunked claims, and Delano repeatedly pressed him to explain, and noted the dozens of failed court challenges:
JON DELANO: Final question, Mr. President, and thank you again for your time.
Do you have any concerns that the 2024 election in Pennsylvania will be free, fair and run correctly by the election officials in our 67 counties? And if so, what are those concerns?
DONALD TRUMP: Well, I absolutely do have concerns. Anytime you have mailings and anytime you have the kind of things that they have in Pennsylvania– it’s not concerns. I mean, we just have to stop it.
We’re watching very diligently. It happened, 2020. It was a disaster. What happened in Pennsylvania in 2020.
We won. We we absolutely won Pennsylvania in 2020. And other states as well.
We had Covid. They used Covid to cheat. And that’s one of those things. And everybody knows it. And most of the people in Pennsylvania know too.
It’s going to be much harder for them to cheat, but they will try. It’s a sad thing. It’s a sad commentary for our country, but they will try to cheat.
I think we’re going to win by so much. You know, it’s too big to rig and I think we’re going to win by so much it won’t matter.
But we’ve got to stop them from cheating, or at least keep their cheating down to a minimum. Pretty sad.
We should go to all paper ballots. We should have one day voting one day election and just do it properly. And voter ID, you have to have voter I.D. they don’t want voter ID because they want to cheat.
JON DELANO: Well, how will they cheat? How will the Democrats cheat in Pennsylvania?
DONALD TRUMP: About, 12 different ways? So many ways. If you had all day, I could give you examples.
Well, last time, what they did with the legislatures, they never got approved by the legislatures. They did whatever they wanted to do.
But they also dropped ballots. You see what happened? 2000 mules. Take a look at 2000 mules. You see what happened? They drop ballots into boxes. The bucks, the ballots.
Many of them weren’t even signed. We had cases, many cases where you had more ballots than you had voters.
It’s a very primitive system. It’s a very, very third world system, and not in all states, but in many of the swing states, which are very important for this, very terrible things go on. Very very terrible things–
JON DELANO: Well, not — but the courts didn’t agree with any of the claims with any of the claims.
DONALD TRUMP: Say it again.
JON DELANO: I’m sorry. The courts in Pennsylvania did not seem to agree with any of the claims of anything going wrong in the 2020 election.
DONALD TRUMP: They didn’t have the courage to do what they had to do. They? The courts were very disappointing. They didn’t have the courage to do what they had to do. The claims were there. Everybody knows it.
It was shocking when Pennsylvania was turned down. Turned down. They were turned down on statutory grounds and other grounds. But it was shocking when Pennsylvania was–
JON DELANO: It sounds, Mr. President.
DONALD TRUMP: –and very sad. You’re so they’re going to try again and we’re going to stop them and we’re watching it. We have vast numbers of lawyers in Pennsylvania and other places, but we we can’t, we have to have strong borders and open, free and fair elections.
JON DELANO: Mr. president, it’s great to be with you again. I hope we get a chance to sit down in Pittsburgh when you’re out here sometime.
