‘Let’s not pretend’ that Republicans and Democrats share equal blame for election denial, DCCC chair says

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney pushed back on the idea Sunday that Democrats share equal blame with Republicans for widespread election denial, and said members of his party “always have, always will” accept the outcome of elections.

“Let’s not pretend for a minute that both sides have the same amount of accountability for the loss of confidence in our elections,” Maloney (D-N.Y.), chair of the congressional Democratic campaign arm, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“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.
