WATCH: “I Am Concerned” – RINO Thom Tillis Says Push for SAVE America Act Is “Undermining Confidence in Elections”

RINO Thom Tillis showed his true colors in an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, teaming up with Jake Tapper to push the narrative that Trump is rigging the upcoming elections. 

Tapper delivered a lengthy question, arguing that Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte and his Chief of Staff, Christina Norton, are pieces of a broader scheme to steal the elections involving Kurt Olsen, the former lead adviser to President Trump on election security, and former DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

“There are a lot of concerns about what the president and his team might be planning for the elections,” Tapper said, referencing the Trump administration officials and investigations involving Smartmatic and Dominion in Puerto Rico and Venezuela.

Tillis responded by blasting Bill Pulte, declaring that the DNI’s office should be eliminated entirely and Pulte should be nowhere in the Trump Administration.

Like a true Democrat, he then claimed that Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act is casting “doubt on elections” and seeks to “erode what has been a 250-year tradition of a peaceful transition of power.”

“I have people telling me I need to implement the Save Act immediately in North Carolina,” he said, suggesting it’s unnecessary to implement the federal voter ID statute because North Carolina already has a voter ID law. “Why do I, over the next four months, have to try to pursue the impossible task of implementing a bill that simply can’t be implemented in that time frame?”

He went on to accuse Republicans of “undermining the confidence in the elections.” He added, “This is a bedrock of our 250-year history of success as the democracy that changed the world. Let’s not mess with that between now and November.“

Transcript:

Tapper: The New York Times is reporting that Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill Pulte, who has no qualifications for that job, as you know, has installed a Republican political operative, Christina Norton, as his chief of staff at the spy agency. Norton’s work in the past focused on election issues for the Republican Party, and there’s this broader context that you know about. There are a lot of concerns about what the president and his team might be planning for the elections, whether it’s Pulte and Norton, or as we read in regime change, Nicolas Maduro offering to back up Trump’s lie about Venezuela altering the election. We have election denier Kurt Olsen given a position in the administration, ordering the seizure of Atlanta voting machines, Tulsi Gabbard, you know, seizing voting machines from Puerto Rico. How do you see all this fitting together?

Tillis: Well, first, I think you know my position on Pulte. I don’t think he should be in the administration, let alone in charge of DNI. He is singularly responsible for 702 beginning to go dark because of a lack of confidence in him in that role, so he needs to get out. We need to get a credible person in the role, and frankly, I think ultimately we should end DNI and go back to the Intelligence Community, the posture that we had before 9/11.

We just have to address the lapses that were addressed through DNI. I think we’re past that now after 25 years. My goodness, we should be able to have interagency integration. We should eliminate the DNI, and we should eliminate Pulte from the DNI until that happens.

I am concerned that we’re going to continue to cast doubt on elections in November and erode what has been a 250-year tradition of a peaceful transition of power. You know, I have people telling me I need to implement the Save Act immediately in North Carolina, in a state that has voter ID. It was passed when I was speaker. We’ve enhanced it even since then, and the president’s won three times. Why do I, over the next four months, have to try to pursue the impossible task of implementing a bill that simply can’t be implemented in that time frame?

Why are we doing more things to undermine our confidence in elections rather than getting the strong message out that will win for Republicans this year? Talk about the emergence and the rise of the Democrat Socialists of America, accept that the voting laws are going to be fundamentally what they are today, win by them, win by the good results that Republicans have produced, and stop undermining the confidence in the elections. This is a bedrock of our 250 year history of success as the democracy that changed the world. Let’s not mess with that between now and November.
