Is That ‘Definitely Trump’ Posing as an Anonymous Poll Worker in a Laura Ingraham Interview?

No. It’s satire.

A viral social media post showing Fox News host Laura Ingraham interviewing someone who is said to be an anonymous Nevada poll worker is overlaid with text that reads: “this is definitely Trump.”

The video, which has been altered and meant to be understood as satire, is not of President Trump. The video was originally tweeted Wednesday by performer Nick Lutsko, who edited old audio of Trump over a real interview with Ingraham and an anonymous poll worker. 

As people on Twitter have pointed out, the sound of cameras clicking away in the background suggests that the altered audio was taken from one of Trump’s earlier press conferences.

    I watched the show clip that was linked in the article where Laura Ingraham interviewed the poll worker (about 5:18 in length). The clip ends before a question is asked about, "so what did you do when you saw this? Did you report it to anyone? Did you see these ballots again?" I mean, if true, the activity is suspicious but, without knowing what became of these alleged ballots, we don't know if any actual fraud happened.

      I just saw a bunch of the affidavits in the Michigan lawsuit. And they're mostly people who didn't know what was going on because they skipped the training for observers, or were just repeating vague allegations. In the end, all the only charge they're making is Counting While Blue.
