Donald Trump slams Supreme Court for refusing to overturn election, as thousands protest
- Trump, who faces certain Electoral College defeat, also lashed out at Attorney General Bill Barr as he headed to the annual Army-Navy college football game
- Four people were stabbed and one shot at rallies held across the country backing his claims of electoral fraud
He repeated his claims about election fraud and blasted the top court for rejecting the long-shot Texas lawsuit that effectively sought to hand the election to him.
“The Supreme Court had ZERO interest in the merits of the greatest voter fraud ever perpetrated on the United States of America,” Trump tweeted.
Trump issued the tirade before jetting to West Point military academy in New York to watch the annual Army-Navy college football game. His Marine One helicopter flew over thousands of cheering supporters who had returned to Washington on Saturday for rallies to back his efforts to subvert his election loss.
The top court ruled Texas had no standing to object to the voting procedures in four other states that voted for President-elect Joe Biden.
Almost all states with Republican attorneys general lined up behind the Trump-backed suit.
Trump now faces certain defeat when the Electoral College meets on Monday to certify Biden’s 306 electoral votes. The president-elect beat Trump by nearly 7 million votes, although the margin was tight in several decisive swing states.
