Donald Trump was up, once again, after 1 a.m., posting on Truth Social early Thursday, this time accusing California election officials of trying to steal Tuesday’s primary election from Republicans.
Despite it being common knowledge that in California mail-in ballots received after Election Day — as long as they are postmarked by Election Day and received within seven days — are acceptable, the 79-year-old president was furious about the delay and claimed an investigation is underway.
Focusing on the candidacies of former Fox News personality Steve Hilton for governor and reality TV’s Spencer Pratt running for mayor of Los Angeles, Trump insisted they are being victimized by the “Dumocrats.”
In the first of the middle of the night posts on his Truth Social account, he wrote, “The Dumocrats are at it again! They are trying to STEAL THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA PRIMARY, AND THE MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES, PRIMARY, AWAY FROM TWO GREAT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Here we go with the very late and massive numbers of MAIL IN BALLOTS.”
Minutes later, he repeated himself with a slight variation.
“There’s BIG cheating by the Dumocrats in California. Votes are all tied up. May not be in for weeks. Under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles. Why the vote counting DELAY??? President DJT,” he raged.
