UNCOVERED: Mike johnson boosts the big lie - Caught on Camera

Donald Trump likes to proclaim himself the greatest businessman, greatest president, greatest everything — and none of it is even remotely true. Well, there is one category in which he is the undisputed greatest of all time: He's the greatest sore loser in world history. He's such a sore loser that even when he wins, he whines that he was cheated out of winning even bigger.

The best example of this was his lament after the 2016 election, when he won in the Electoral College but lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million, that those votes were all illegal. He couldn't live with the fact that even though he had technically won the election, it was not by popular acclamation. He used to say, "People get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again." (That does not happen, needless to say.) And of course he claimed that most of those supposedly illegal votes came from undocumented immigrants.
