Just like he has done for the past 4 years, Donald Trump went on TV and lied.

Trump made a statement about the election and basically declared victory, despite the fact that not all the votes have been counted.

As Trump claimed he won and then talked about getting the Supreme Court to order states to stop counting the votes, ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC all cut away from the President while he was talking.

Basically, the networks showed the integrity of the election process and cut off Trump as he was claiming things that weren’t true.

“We are reluctant to step in, but duty bound to point out when he says ‘we did win this election, we’ve already won,’ that’s not based in the facts at all,” said MSNBC’s Brian Willams.

“This looks like competitive race in which one of the candidates is so afraid of the ultimate tallying of the votes he’s pulled this Hee Haw laugh track move tonight,” Rachel Maddow said on MSNBC. “He literally said ‘we want all the voting to stop. We’ve already won it.'”

“It’s straight-up autocratic malarkey, and what we have to do keep in mind is that he’s not the boss of the counting,” Chris Wallace said on Fox News.

The president is a steward of the American electoral system, and he is trying to undermine it,” said CBS News’ John Dickerson

“And you cannot say it enough tonight, that Donald Trump’s words have no legal meaning,” CBS’s Paula Reid said.

With all that has gone on in 2020, did anyone really expect a smooth election?
