Join today<\/a><\/p>\n \n Already a member? Attorney General Todd Blanche<\/a> went ballistic when pressed about a scenario where President Donald Trump<\/a> tries to overturn the results of November\u2019s midterm elections<\/a> if it doesn\u2019t go his way. <\/p>\n The question, posed by CNN host Dana Bash Sunday, stemmed from a conversation about the Department of Justice\u2019s lawsuit to block the certification of the competitive Senate race <\/a>in Alaska if Republican Senator Dan Sullivan<\/a> loses. Trump and his fellow Republicans have argued that since there is a second candidate not affiliated with a party named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., the ballot will confuse voters and potentially siphon votes away from the GOP incumbent. The president has gone as far as to claim Daniel J. Sullivan is only running \u201cbecause the Democrats want to steal the Election.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the big questions is whether or not the president is laying the groundwork for a scenario where \u2014 whether it\u2019s Alaska or somewhere else \u2014 there is, in your words a couple of days ago, a \u2018doomsday scenario,\u2019 and we could be in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd the result of that could be, God forbid, what we saw after January 6th,\u201d Bash said.<\/p>\n \u201cOh, stop it!\u201d Blanche told Bash on CNN\u2019s State of the Union. \u201cYou\u2019ve gotta stop it with that! You are not being a real person! Come on, man! That is crazy!\u201d<\/p>\n After Bash defended her question, Blanche insisted the lawsuit was about stopping fraud. <\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re saying, \u2018Mr. Attorney General, because a President of the United States wants to stop a fraud and confusion in Alaska is he going to do something crazy? That is not a real question!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI wish it wasn\u2019t. I wish it wasn\u2019t. But if you\u2019re laying the groundwork for the president to try to overturn an election that he doesn\u2019t like, there is concern\u2014\u201d Bash said before Blanche cut her off. <\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not laying any groundwork for the president to do that!\u201d Blanche said. \u201cSo your premise, your question, is not true!\u201d<\/p>\n Trump, who continues to baselessly claim that his 2020 election loss was rigged against him, has admitted to directing the DOJ to file the lawsuit in Alaska. The lawsuit was filed Thursday, sowing doubt about the integrity of the race less than two weeks before Election Day. <\/p>\n Senator Lisa Murkowski,<\/a> a moderate Republican from Alaska who voted to convict Trump on an impeachment charge relating to the January 6 Capitol riot, said the DOJ \u201cshould never have filed this lawsuit.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cAlaskans don\u2019t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year\u2019s ballot,\u201d Murkowski wrote <\/a>on X Friday. <\/p>\n Trump attacked Murkowski in a late night Truth Social rant Saturday, calling her \u201cRepublicans\u2019 Worst Senator\u201d and a \u201cDISGRACE to Alaska and our Country.\u201d<\/p>\n The president claimed Murkowski was \u201cupset because I revealed what everyone knows, that the Ranked Choice Voting Ballot is a TOTAL DEMOCRAT SCAM meant to confuse the Voter, so that Senator Dan Sullivan will lose Votes to a man who has never participated in Politics before, named Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n Ranked choice voting lets voters rank candidates in order of preference. For a candidate to win, they need a majority of total votes cast.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is only there because the Democrats want to steal the Election, and Murkowski probably wants that to happen, which is why she is against the DOJ filing a Lawsuit in order to stop this impending crime and tragedy,\u201d Trump\u2019s post <\/a>continued. <\/p>\n
