Former President Donald Trump railed against members of his own party in a series of statements to his supporters Wednesday night, blasting Senators Lindsey Graham and Mike Lee for 'not putting up the fight necessary to win.'
The former president reiterated his claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, and lambasted Republican leadership for not supporting him in his claims.
He also chastised former President George W. Bush for supporting Representative Liz Cheney in her re-election bid, bemoaned mainstream media's coverage of his election claims and said Republicans should focus their efforts on the debt ceiling.
Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday issued a series of statements blasting members of the Republican party for not supporting his claims that the 2020 presidential election was 'stolen'
In the statements, emailed out to his supporters, Trump took aim at Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Mike Lee as well as former President George W. Bush and the mainstream media, as he also suggested Republicans focus on the debt ceiling
In the series of statements, Trump doubled down on his claim that he won the 2020 presidential election, and criticized members of his own party for not supporting his efforts to investigate claims of voter fraud.
He specifically took aim at Republican Senators Mike Lee and Lindsey Graham, who reportedly investigated the claims and found they 'added up to nothing,' according to the new book Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
'I spent virtually no time with Senators Mike Lee of Utah, or Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina, talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Scam or, as it is viewed by many the "Crime of the Century,"' Trump wrote.
'Lindsey and Mike should be ashamed of themselves for not putting up the fight necessary to win.
'If this were Schumer and the Democrats, with the evidence we have of Election Fraud (especially newly-released evidence), they would have never voted to approve Biden as president, and had they not, all of the mistakes that were made over the last month, which are destroying our country, would not have happened.
'Mike Lee, Lindsey Graham and all the other Republicans who were unwilling to fight for the presidency of the United States, which would have included at least an additional four Republican senators - two in Georgia, one in Michigan, one in Arizona, are letting the Democrats get away with the greatest Election Hoax in History - a total con job.
'The Democrats are vicious and fight like hell, and the Republicans do nothing about it,' he continued. 'RINOs fight harder against Republicans than they do against Democrats. They want to be so politically correct, even if that means losing our country, which is happening now.'
'Your Republican Presidential candidate won in a landslide, but has so little backing from Republican leadership,' Trump wrote, noting that he wished the Republicans in Congress would hold hearings or had open public sessions about his claims.
Trump also took digs at the mainstream media, saying that it has seen evidence of election fraud.
'Why is the Fake News Media continuing on their path of saying "baseless and disproven lies" concerning the Presidential Election of 2020, no matter how much evidence they see,' he began.
'The proof is massive and staggering. The presidential election of 2020 was rigged! When the information becomes public, people will see that it wasn't even close.'
Trump specifically called out GOP Senators Mike Lee, of Utah, and Lindsey Graham, of South Carolina saying he rarely spoke to them about the '2020 Presidential Election Scam' despite a new book claiming the two senators investigated the claims of voter fraud and found they 'added up to nothing'
The former president also railed against former President George W. Bush, who is reportedly planning to hold a fundraiser for embattled Republican Rep. Liz Cheney
The former president also railed against former President George W. Bush, who is planning to hold a fundraiser for embattled Republican Rep. Liz Cheney - who has been critical of Trump in the past, according to the Wall Street Journal.
'RINO former President George "Dubya" Bush and his flunky Karl Rove are endorsing warmongering and very low-polling Liz Cheney,' Trump began in his statements Wednesday night.
'Bush is the one who got us into the quicksand of the Middle East and, after spending trillions of dollars and killing nearly a million people, the Middle East was left in worse shape after 21 years than it was when he started his stupidity.
'It ended with Biden's most embarrassing in history withdrawal from Afghanistan, a total surrender, leaving $85 billion dollars of equipment and many young warriors' lives behind.'
Cheney has voted for his impeachment following the siege on the Capitol, and has pushed back against Trump's claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Earlier this month, Trump announced he endorsed a Wyoming attorney, Harriet Hageman, in her primary bid against Cheney.
'Unlike RINO Liz Cheney, Harriet is all in for America first,' he wrote in an emailed statement at the time. 'Harriet has my complete and total endorsement in replacing the Democrats' number one provider of sound bites, Liz Cheney.'
In response, Cheney tweeted, 'Here's a sound bite for you: Bring it.'
Following Trump's announcement that he was endorsing Cheney's opponent in the primary, saying she is the 'Democrats' number one provider of sound bites,' Cheney tweeted, 'Here's a sound bite for you: Bring it'
But Trump also offered some advice to Republicans - telling them to campaign on the debt ceiling.
'The only powerful tool that Republicans have to negotiate with is the debt ceiling, and they would be foolish and unpatriotic not to use it now,' he wrote in another statement Wednesday night.
'The way I look at it, what Democrats are proposing, on so many different levels, will destroy our country. Therefore Republicans have no choice but to concede all the horror they are trying to inflict upon the future of the United States.'
Trump was removed from Twitter following the January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol, and has instead been keeping his supporters informed with a mailing list.
