NEWSDonald Trump Goes on Furious Tirade After Colorado Supreme Court Bans Him From Election Ballot
In a furious tirade on social media, former President Donald Trump responded to the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove him from the ballot due to his involvement in the January 6 insurrection.
On Tuesday, December 19, the court, by a narrow margin of 4 to 3, ruled that Trump violated the 14th Amendment with his actions and will no longer appear on the presidential ballot in the state.
Donald Trump was banned from the Colorado ballot.
The news of Trump's ban from the Colorado ballot dropped like a bombshell, shaking the political landscape. The court's decision was based on evidence that the ex-president participated in the attempted insurrection, an act that undermined democracy and violated the rights of American citizens.
Immediately after delivering a speech in Waterloo, Iowa, Trump took to his exclusive social media platform, Truth Social, to express his outrage.
Quoting Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump wrote, "Tonight, America is seeing the ultimate — in ELECTION INTERFERENCE."
Donald Trump called the recent court decision 'ELECTION RIGGING' in Joe Biden's favor.
Trump shared another Fox News clip, this time of Gregg Jarrett claiming, "This is ELECTION RIGGING … This is an effort, make no mistake, to deprive American voters of their right to make the decision as to who should be president. It is anti-democratic. It's the equivalent of rigging the ballot box."
"Democrats in Colorado are so afraid of allowing American voters to vote and pick the next president they are willing to do extra-judicial things, in order to thwart the people’s choice from being on the ballot," the clip continued. "To them, preserving democracy requires destroying democracy."
