A top House Democrat claims his party “always” accepts the results of an election. But perhaps he is forgetting a few comments and actions from members of his party.
During an appearance on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) — the chair of the congressional Democratic campaign arm — was asked how concerned he is about the risk of political violence and if his party would accept the results of the 2022 midterms.
“Of course, we’ll accept the results of the elections, always have, always will,” Maloney responded.
He went on, “And we’re very concerned about the integrity of our elections, especially when people are trying to intimidate people with weapons when they’re engaged in these tactics to try to undermine confidence. No, we’re going to accept the results of this election. That’s the American way.”

Additionally, Maloney argued, “Let’s not pretend for a minute that both sides have the same amount of accountability for the loss of confidence in our elections.”
“One side has been out there for a couple of years now, doing everything they can to pretend Joe Biden didn’t win fair and square when he did,” he added.
He is obviously referring to the claims by former President Donald Trump and his supporters, including many who are on the ballot this year, that the 2020 presidential election was stolen through widespread fraud.
There has been no evidence to substantiate claims widespread fraud tilted the election results. And ABC News
