In a statement issued last night, Justin Clark, deputy campaign manager of the Trump campaign, issued an urgent statement to the media, warning that should Democratic candidate Joe Biden not get a large enough lead in early battleground state voting, desperate Democrats are prepared to swing into action and charge that a Trump claim of electoral success is simply a “Red Mirage.” Democratic operatives are advising surrogates and media “to create a smoke screen by casting blame all around—imagining postal delays or falsely claiming that mail-in ballots that have simply not been returned should be considered legitimate votes that need to be counted.”
The statement warns that the Biden campaign has prepared TV ads and will deploy to “further cement the `Red Mirage’ misinformation, seeking to convince people that all Joe Biden would need for victory is more time, extending well beyond Election Day.” Moreover, the statement adds, a Biden phalanx of lawyers will try to “loosen election integrity so they can steal this election,” since Biden is a candidate who “excites virtually no one.” This last gasp of the Biden campaign, the Trump campaign warns, “will be ugly and it will be ruthless.”
