President-elect Biden

By Mike Huckabee

January 8, 2021
|

While Democrats continue to express newfound outrage over violent riots and to vilify President Trump and all his supporters over the actions of a few idiots, Trump issued a statement calling for reconciliation and condemning what he called the “heinous” attack on the Capitol and saying, "Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem."

He also signaled that with Congress confirming Biden’s electoral victory, his legal challenges over alleged voting irregularities are over and that a new Administration will take office on January 20th. He said, "Emotions are high now, but tempers must be cooled and calm restored. We must get on with the business of America. My campaign rigorously pursued every legal avenue to contest the election results. My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition…This moment now calls for healing and reconciliation."

In accordance with that statement, we will now start referring to Joe Biden as the “President-elect,” a title incorrectly conferred on him by the media right after the election. Our decision not to fall in line was not made out of partisanship or resentment but a virtually obsolete respect for factual accuracy. As I stated two months ago, Trump had the right to legally challenge the vote, just as Gore did in 2000, and until the challenges were dropped or settled and the vote certified, nobody was “President-elect.” While the suspicions over the vote have unfortunately not been settled, and I fear will continue to fester for years to come, the legal challenge has now ended.

Some conservative sites are referring to Biden as “President Asterisk” or “His Fraudulency.” I heard that a compromise for those who think he’ll be living in the White House but not really be President would be the title “Resident Biden.” That’s all well and good as political satire, but I don’t want to be like the leftists who spent the past four years letting their anger over Trump being President lead them to show disrespect to the office and root for America to fail under his watch.

So out of respect for factual accuracy and the legal and Constitutional system, and for the sake of American unity, we will refer to Joe Biden as “President-elect,” and after his inauguration, as “President Biden.” But we will do everything within reason to ensure that we no longer have to type those words after 2024.

    No, we will NOT “for the sake of unity” refer to him as President-elect Biden OR President Biden for taking an election by FRAUD. ADONIJAH FALSE KING

    The Dems under Pelosi and Schumer show themselves to be graceless, classless and vicious, wanting President Trump impeached or tossed via the 25th Amendment (NOT what it was to be used for), blaming the ONE DAY (not summer long they supported) Capitol fiasco on him. They still won't stop the gleeful torture they perfected for 4+ years on a great President who despite them, accomplished more good than anyone could have predicted. They want Trump out because he saw the truth of things while he was in the thick of it. NOW some Buyers Remorse will set in; there will be irreversible damage in the next 2 yrs. before we vote again.
    Biden lies and lies and lies; under Joe our country dies.

    Nope, I will not consider him my President. The election was a fraudulent, rigged election and I will not ever consider him the true President. I have no power though to do anything about it, unfortunately, so like when Obama was in, we will all have to live with the devastation that he and the vice resident will cause to this great Country. January 6th was disgusting, but I also believe that it was a planned scam, just like the left has, and continues to, use the virus as its most current crisis. Sorry, that's how I feel Governor.

    I will not support the pedo socialist Biden. I did not support the islamic pedo obama.
    Why would any one support a party that has to cheat to get into the White House?

    Thank you, Mike Huckabee. President Trump and his family to include his young son have been vilified for the past 4 years. I have never witnessed such disrespect for the Office of the Pesidency of the United States. I personally don't much care for the President's personality, but I love what he has restored to the United States. As for President-elect Biden, I personally don't care for his character.

    The election was stolen not only from President Trump but also from the American people. I believe President Trump will still serve us as President for the next four years. Trusting God on this one. Too bad a lot of the church people have turned coat with the Republicans. It’s going to be a sad day very soon for them. Happy one for the true believers.

    I just saw a utube article. An employee of a defense contractor in Italy has admitted under oath his role in overturning our election, proof that the election was indeed stolen. You can read about it in Nations in Action.com. Trump has every right to be upset. I hope this gets out. It should.

    Why are cabinet members, etc quitting President Trump without the full investigation, which takes time. He’s done so much for our country; it’s sad they would just leave him in his hour of need. The social media has cut him off so he can’t defend himself. I don’t think anyone including he wanted the mob action. (Please don’t use my name; I usually don’t write but feel compelled because I feel there may be an injustice to the president here too and we’re not gonna hear all the truth .)

    I moved to Colombia, South America three years ago anticipating the future of our Nation and to Prepare a Place of Refuge for Family & Friends for when the United States turns Muslim. I feel the Biden - Obama - Harris coalition will continue the "Transition" Obama started in 2008. I actually wrote a paper about this in 2004 which I titled ... "his camel's cold". The Nose of the Islamic Camel is definitely in our Christian Tent. We have a short time to mount a counter movement ... however, it will take someone like you to endorse. The ground work & planning have been done and I feel it will unite the Christian Community, World Wide, once implemented. God is in charge.

    Gov., You can call Biden President Elect but I will always call him a fraud, a thief and a only a resident of the White House. You may put your tail between you legs and appease him and Kamala, but I never will. He I’ll never be the legitimate President. Period.

    I am looking forward to your monologue Saturday on your show Huckabee! I want your take on how 4 states with Obama behind them fraudulently wrecked the votes of 75 million voters and now the same thing happened in Georgia with Purdue ahead and then in the end they did it again... President Trump could begin a third party, but I hope he doesn’t and lives out the rest of his life happily with his family!

    Don't call Biden president because god isn't done with this election yet. Jesus always called those things which be not as though they were and by calling Biden president you aren't in line with how god looks at it. Trump just said smooth transition he didn't concede yet, so wait until this is all over because god doesn't work on our time table electoral college and such. Pray and see what the lord shows you. Keep up the good work.

  • Mary Thompson

    01/08/2021 03:53 PM

    Oh no read between the lines he did not concede. Besides that looked so much like a hollogram. I heard the President isn't even in DC right now in a bunker somewhere. I know there was massive voter fraud and I will never call a man compromised to China my president or President elect. President select yeah cause he was selected not elected.

  • Ken Lawrence

    01/08/2021 03:49 PM

    I'm sorry Governor... I will NEVER call him president-elect or even president. He & his cronies cheated throughout the election, throwing millions of Americans in doubt of the safety & trust of our election process! They will destroy the Electoral College, stack the courts, change territories & cities into voting members of Congress to ensure they have a stronger block to prevent losing power. They will watch future elections & then when needed pull out hidden ballots or adjust the machines to illegally switch votes to the left. You know this is what they did, please never defend that!
    You may say as you wish about this, but I will resist in all legal ways that I can. When I was sworn into service of a US intelligence agency, I took that vow VERY seriously to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign & domestic! Now that I am retired, I have more freedom to speak my mind of the truth & the democrat left's lies that has happened over the last 2 & a half months.
    I hope that you continue to speak out against this man's lies & attempts to consolidate power at the expense of freedom loving Americans!

    Sincerely

    A sad event for those who respect their country to witness. What must be done now is to restore integrity of our voting system to forestall our slavery.

  • Tony Patterson

    Thank you for your very thought through article. In my case convinced of the fraud, I will refer to Biden as "president -elect" and recognize that he is "legally" president. And I will continue to show respect for the office of the presidency. However, I cannot show any more respect for the man occupying the office than the man deserves. As a person, he deserves the same respect I would show to for a man who used his position in government to fraudulently to make himself and his family rich. For a man who slandered his opponents, lied consistently about his accomplishments, and sold out his country.

    I fear you are wrong to have any hope of defeating the Democrat presidential candidate in 2024. The "coalition" that got Biden and Harris nominated and then got him elected, without Biden/Harris seriously campaigning, has tacit approval now from Congress, the Judicial Department and the DOJ to do it again in 2024, 2028, 2032, and on and on. The reason so many conservatives were extremely upset was because we realized if this election was upheld and the Democrats gain total control of government, we the people would have no say in the future as to who our president, Vice President, Speaker of the House or the Senate Majority would be. The "Coalition" will decide for us. And virtually all of the current incumbents know this.

    A new party controls the country - a boardlock - White House, Senate and House. So many of Trumps appointee`s and others are now trashing Trump, blaming him for anything and everything. They are carreer bureaucrats, politicians and they are afraid if they don`t, they won`t be able to keep their federal jobs, get a job or an advancement. Its a sick, sad situation but that is how the game is played in the District of Corruption! How incredibly sad that people have to be backstabbers to get ahead in today`s government.

    So the Liar in Chief plays patty cake with the Commies, and yes, we respect the office of President--President Trump, who legally won the Election. The best Biden can hope from me, a Christian, is for me to refer to him a VP Biden. His criminal behavior is international, the Chinese love him (I recently read in a couple places that the Chinese are buying the Bahamas and Jamaica to install a military base---remember the Bay of Pigs?). We cannot yoke up with Evil Incarnate. Antifa and BLM WERE at the Capitol and instigated the riots/destruction--several videos (using facial recognition) show this AND Capitol police letting them in to do their dirty work. That whole charade was planned to make President Trump look bad, to put a cloud over his administration and everyone (including voters) on a "hit" list. No wonder Biden wants our guns. Next he'll want our Bibles--no, probably our property. I also read that the Chi Comms are buying up ranches in OK for 2 to3x their worth. I hope I'm wrong...I know you read, and write---ALOT, and I respect your opinions, they are heartfelt. But I remember when Obama was elected, and I said to myself, "I hope that he's going to be good for the country". Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, "No, he won't be." And God, of course, was exactly right! That remained one of my testimonies how God DOES speak to His followers. I thank God often that He took good care of us in spite of the economic challenges that dragged on....that's another incredible testimony for another time. May God bless and keep you and your family, please tell Sarah we love her!

    Here is the email from Gab's founder regarding President Trump's move to Gab:

    I’m going to be upfront with you: Gab is growing fast. Our traffic is already up 120%+ in 24 hours alone. We need to massively expand our server capacity and very quickly. We need your help to do it. Silicon Valley has totally silenced the President and his calls for peace. You can watch his banned video statement here on Gab TV. You won't find it anywhere else on the Big Tech internet.

    Additionally, I am in the process of connecting with President Trump’s team as we speak. The President’s Gab account is already reserved with hundreds of thousands of followers.

    It’s happening. This is Gab’s moment, one that we have been preparing for now for over four and a half years.

    Our enemies have silenced the President of the United States as well as millions of law-abiding Americans.

    -Facebook and Instagram have locked President Trump’s account indefinitely.
    -Twitter has locked his account for 24 hours and will likely ban him soon.
    -Facebook is scrubbing any and all photos and videos from yesterday's protest.
    -Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are removing the President’s video message that calls for peace (which you can find here on Gab TV)

    This is a coup on our country by foreigner-run Big Tech companies. It must not stand. Something must be done and at Gab we are building solutions. The government has done nothing and will do nothing. No one is coming to save us. We must save ourselves.

    Our task is not an easy one, but neither was the task of our Founding Fathers. We must fight to defend free speech on the internet now more than ever. Our country, and indeed the world, depends on it. Our children are counting on us to rise to the occasion and defend freedom just as so many have done before us. At Gab, we are ready to answer that call.

    If you can, please consider supporting our efforts and mission. Tell a friend about Gab. Delete your Facebook account. Get loud.

    Go GabPRO, make a donation, or a purchase from our Shop.

    The time is now.

    Please, join us.

    God bless you and God bless America.

    I spent over 25 years in the service of our country, I lost friends and acquaintences, KIA, to preserve what voter fraud, ultra liberals, socialists and democrats are in the process of destroying, so NO, Harris-Biden, whichever one ends up "president" will NOT be my president!!!

    Happy New Year Guv! Just have to add MY 2 cents. There is NO WAY that President Trump would shoot himself in the foot by inciting violence. I don't believe Trump supporters would interfere with the election objections and cause people like Senator Loeffler to change her mind. But I DO BELIEVE STRONGLY that the violence was orchestrated by the far left and I pray that God reveals all...

    No one will be rooting for America to fail. However, with Communists and criminals having infiltrated our society and government we are destined to see America fail. Of course, God can change seemingly hopeless outcomes, but for now perhaps He is chastising our country for rebuking Him, mocking Him, and shoving Him aside. Biblical history has shown that when His people reject Him, he will allow foreign armies to subjugate them. Not a pleasant thought, but both China and Russia are salivating at our door.
