Sánchez: Trump is focused on conspiracy theories, not solving Americans’ problems

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement after President Trump addressed the nation regarding his disproven conspiracy theories about widespread election fraud:

“President Trump is reviving long-debunked conspiracy theories because he refuses to accept that he lost the 2020 election. Now he’s using those same lies as a pretext to interfere with the next election because he knows Republicans can’t defend their record.

“Americans don’t want more of Trump’s baseless conspiracy theories. They want to know how he will lower costs that are rising because of his illegal tariffs and the war in Iran. They want ICE to stop terrorizing our communities and killing people in the streets. And they want healthcare restored to the millions of Americans he took it away from to pay for tax breaks for himself and his billionaire friends.

“Trump has no answers because he and congressional Republicans created these problems. Instead, he’s falling back on his same tired, old playbook: lie about ‘stolen’ elections, undermine the next one and hope Americans stop focusing on the damage he’s doing.

“It won’t work because we won’t let him.”
