Failing that, they spent 8 years trying to obstruct,
sabotage, and discredit everything President Obama tried to do. During much of that time, Donald Trump carried on an utterly false
campaign accusing President Obama of lying about his birthplace. Two days later and without citing any evidence--because no evidence
exists--President Trump resurrected his false claim that that he lost
the popular vote because 3 to 5 million ``illegal immigrants'' voted. Mr. Spicer echoed this same claim, citing unnamed ``studies.''
This, of course, is patently false and absurd, but one can assume
that it will be repeated by Republicans to justify more onerous,
discriminatory voter suppression voting requirements which have been a
crusade of theirs, particularly in areas with large minority
populations that traditionally vote Democratic.
