A right-wing panelist on CNN received shut down by “NewsNight” host Abby Phillip as she tried to say that “non-citizen voting” fraud is a giant downside within the U.S., however it was the look on lawyer and progressive political commentator Bakari Sellers’ face that stated all of it.
In a chaotic panel dialogue on the present Wednesday, Feb. 4, as President Donald Trump continues advert nauseum claiming the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” from him and after he despatched the FBI into Fulton County, Georgia, to raid and election heart the night time of Thursday, Jan. 28, to in some way try to show it, conservative commentator Brianna Lyman tried to supply proof of the virtually non-existent fraud.

“Non-citizen voting does occur even whether it is ‘uncommon, in accordance with some on the left,” Lyman, a reporter for the right-wing information web site The Federalist, started.
“How frequent is it?” Phillip requested.
Lyman began shuffling by means of notes to attempt to show her level.

“The precise numbers,” Phillip requested.
“A Georgia audit discovered 20 non-citizens registered to vote, 9 of them ended up voting in a earlier election,” Lyman quoted.
“Twenty?” Phillip requested with a smile on her face, and the opposite panelists jumped in.
However a severe Lyman wasn’t having it.
“You recognize it’s humorous while you guys mock small quantities, however let’s keep in mind that Marinette Meeks-Miller received her 2020 election by six votes,” Lyman declared.
Phillip jumped in, “Have been they six undocumented immigrants?”
“My level is is that some elections are determined fairly actually on the margins and each vote counts,” she continued.
As Lyman was attempting to make her case, Sellers was trying on incredulously in clear disbelief on the flimsy numbers she was citing to attempt to show the 2020 election was rife with fraud, which it wasn’t.
However Phillips interjected, “Not a single presidential election has been determined by a margin of non-citizen voters,” she stated as different panelists continued to speak over one another.
“Simply because it doesn’t impression a presidential election doesn’t imply it isn’t worthy of consideration,” Lyman persevered.
“What’s the proportion of fraudulent, non-citizen voting in America?” the “NewsNight” host requested, however Lyman didn’t know, whilst she was insisting that it’s an issue.
Lyman went on to quote small numbers, however over the previous 20 years, the conservative Heritage Basis, which has investigated voting fraud, discovered simply 77 instances over dozens of elections and lots of of tens of millions of votes forged.
Phillip instructed Lyman she needed her to undergo the small variety of stats that she had with the intention to present how “extremely uncommon that is.”
Social media exploded, particularly over the look on Sellers’ face.
“That Black man glancing round like ‘Are y’all listening to this sh-t?’ is hilarious,” a Threads consumer hilariously identified.
One other agreed, together with two laughing emojis in her response, “Bakari’s face is all of us.”
And nonetheless one other chimed in, “Bakari be trying like his inside monologue is ‘is she fckn severe?’ , ‘why am I right here with these ppl?’” “is it really attainable to be this dumb?”
Different posts dragged Lyman for clearly attempting to insist voting fraud is an issue when investigation after investigation has discovered it’s not.
“It’s all the time the largest idiots who suppose they’re good,” this Threads consumer proclaimed.
One other was very direct, “Full MORON.”
Threads poster Leon Anochili tried to set Lyman straight.
“Brianna, please take a statistics 101 class. Over the course of 20+ years, there have been virtually a billion votes casted whole amongst all elections in that point interval. And going by Abby’s quantity, 77, that could be a fraction going into the 100 millionth place. That’s lower than immaterial/consequential. If you wish to make it even much less inconsequential, do away with the electoral school.
Repeated court docket selections after the 2020 election discovered no fraud and dominated the election was free and truthful, together with by the Supreme Court docket.
However the CNN panel dialogue and continued claims of voting fraud by conservatives on the correct come amid fears the Republicans are going to lose the 2026 mid-term elections due to Trump’s disastrous financial and international coverage selections.
In actual fact, Trump spent the week suggesting the GOP ought to “take over” the elections, that are administered by states underneath the U.S. Structure. However Trump is falsely insisting that the federal authorities ought to oversee them due to fraudulent voting by unlawful immigrants, an unproven and false accusation that critics contend is a setup for Trump and his cronies to cheat and management the outcomes.
