Trump spokesperson rips Dems for wanting to 'steal the election'

For all of the criticism that Democrats threw at Donald Trump for claiming that the 2020 presidential election had been "stolen," they sure are working hard to find a way to prevent Donald Trump from taking office after his victory in 2024.

TheHill.com recently published an opinion piece with the title, "Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now."

Kicking around ideas to block the incoming president from taking office doesn't sound like a very peaceful transfer of power to me.

Donald Trump's communications director Steven Cheung agrees.

"Oh, look. Democrats want to steal the election and invalidate the will of the American people," Cheung wrote in response to the op-ed. He said that any move to block Donald Trump from taking power should be considered a "threat to Democracy."

Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump, didn't like the idea of his father being blocked any more than Cheung did.

"You people are sick," Eric Trump said in response to the article.

Elon Musk chimed in as well, "Such a crazy thing for them to say. Legacy media is just the propaganda arm of the radical left."

The article argues that Trump should be disqualified for "engaging in insurrection."

"The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming," argues the article.

This isn't some idea that's confined to left-wing articles online, it's one that's actually been floated by real politicians.

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland previously pointed to the same argument about why Trump should be disqualified.

"Well, absolutely, and we’ve been saying all along that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment presents a clear and unequivocal statement that anyone who has sworn an oath of office," Raskin said to CNN's Dana Bash in 2023. "And by the way, not just the president but members of Congress and others who hold federal office, who engage in insurrection or rebellion, having sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic, can never serve again in federal or state office."

Do you think this wild idea could have any legs at all, or is Donald Trump's inauguration going to go off without a hitch?
