'Stop The Stupid': GOP Lawmaker Pleads With Trump To Drop Election Lies

A Republican House member from Michigan launched his own hashtag trend Sunday, pleading with President Donald Trump to “stop the stupid ” and drop his bogus attempts to overturn the election.

“Oh my God,” Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-Mich.) tweeted about Trump’s latest false allegations, similar to the ones he’s been repeating without evidence since he lost to President-elect Joe Biden .

“Please for the sake of our Nation please drop these argument without evidence of factual basis,” Mitchell wrote.

Mitchell was responding to Trump’s Sunday evening tweet: “We have some big things happening in our various litigations on the Election hoax,” Trump wrote, adding: “Everybody knows it was Rigged.”

Mitchell earlier this month urged Trump acknowledge his loss and “deal with it ” — for the “good of the nation. ” 

As with nearly everything Trump now tweets about the election, Twitter marked his new claim as “disputed.”

Trump and his campaign have lost dozens of lawsuits challenging election results. A perturbed federal judge in Philadelphia — appointed by the president — last week slapped down one of the suits as “without merit ” or evidence.

Many responding to Mitchell on Twitter praised his comment to Trump. He also got a shout-out from attorney George Conway , the never-Trump husband of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway .

But others considered the criticism too-little, too-late.
