won. remember, they went so far as submitting fake certificates of the national archives. the scheme did not work but even as the justice department looks into this effort, there is yet another concerning front where trump backers are trying to warp reality by claiming this that wisconsin legislators voted to withdraw its 2020 electoral votes for joe biden. that s right. here to debunk the lie of the week as we are calling it, is fact checker in chief daniel dale. out of all the lies we heard this week, this unone a whopper so number one wisconsin did not vote to withdrawal its ten joe biden electors. number two, wisconsin did not actual v any vote on such a proposal and number three, this is impossible anyway. you cannot withdraw your 2020 electors in 2022. where did this come from? like a lot of nonsense, it started on a far right conspiracy peddling website called gateway pundit. it came out with an article claiming that it had huge breaking news that wisconsin had voted to with

trotted out to defend. now, republicans, 74 million americans have concerns about election integrity. we are supposed to just sit down and shut up? one thing important right after the bat is election integrity. we do need to look at election integrity and we do need to see if we can restore confidence in the elections. election integrity and election security is a top priority for the american people. this is an issue of election integrity. we want election integrity. at risk for me right now is maintaining the integrity of that election. it s easy to see why this became their preferred fig leaf. after all, election integrity sounds much better than backing the lie without any evidence. or i am afraid of telling the truth because i might lose my primary. but calling it election integrity is orwellian nonsense. counterfeit language to back up a bogus issue. if you if you listen carefully, the
