  To make you feel better, this was the remote operator, that makes the robot appear autonomous, removing their headset before handing control off to someone else to keep the lie going.

        He did say “If Trump lost, I’d be going to prison.” Most attribute that to election interference but it also could be about how he runs his businesses.

        I like to hope it was intentional to expose the fraud
