Seating US President Donald Trump has retweeted a video that claims coronavirus was invented as a means of costing him the 2020 election.
The questionable video contains several conspiracy theories about President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential win.
One of these conspiracies surrounds the origin of the coronavirus, with the video suggesting it was imported into the US to help Joe Biden ‘steal’ the election.
The video —which has been flagged by Twitter— was posted by an anonymous account called @a17time, which has previously tweeted in support of President Trump.
In the video, a narrator can be heard saying conspiracy theories over images of overwhelmed hospitals and graveyards.
“Start with a virus, import it into America, talk about it nonstop, call some governors, put patients into nursing homes, kill thousands, blame the president, keep blaming, blame some more,” the narrator said.
Speaking over images of Biden and Representative Tulsi Gabbard, the narrator continues: “Lockdown small business [sic], kill the economy, push mail-in voting, stoke a race war, call for violence pick a candidate, no, not her [Gabbard].”
The narrator went on to claim that the media has been ‘shielding’ Biden while not giving the same coverage to Republicans.
“Ignore the economic recovery, downplay the world peace, pump the place.”
Since the November 3 election, Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims of widespread voter fraud, with members of his legal defense team has made allegations of a global plot to get Biden to the White House.
On November 12, a joint statement was released by a group of national, state, and private election officials. It states that the 2020 election voting process had been ‘the most secure in American history’, adding, ‘there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.’
The Electoral College confirmed Biden’s victory in the election on December 14, with California’s 55 Electoral College votes taking him over the 270 mark needed to win.
Even though Trump continues to allege that the election was ‘stolen’ from him through illegal votes and widespread electoral fraud, these will remain as baseless claims which have yet to be supported by any actual evidence.
