Peter Schiff pointed out what he perceives as the Democratic Party's double standards when it comes to claims of election fraud in 2020.
Stock broker and economist Peter Schiff on Tuesday pointed out what he perceives as the Democratic Party’s double standards when it comes to claims of election fraud in 2020.
What Happened: Schiff posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, calling out the Democratic Party’s alleged hypocrisy and corruption.
He equated former President Donald Trump‘s allegations of election theft in 2020 with the Democrats’ own claims about the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections.
The 10-minute video attached to Schiff’s X post called the Democrats “hypocrites” who tried to stop the “certification” of the Republican president in the last three elections when the GOP won.
“This is a great video that highlights the hypocrisy and corruption of the Democratic Party. Trump is no more guilty of crimes for claiming the 2020 election was stolen as these Democrats were in claiming the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections were stolen,” Schiff posted.

Why It Matters: In the year 2000, George W. Bush, a Republican and the governor of Texas, won against the incumbent Vice President Al Gore.
In 2004, the Republican duo of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney secured a second term, defeating the Democratic pair of John Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, and John Edwards, a North Carolina senator.
In 2016, businessman Trump and Indiana governor Mike Pence, representing the Republicans, achieved an unexpected victory over Democrats Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state and First Lady, and Tim Kaine, a senator from Virginia, in one of the most surprising political turnarounds in American history.
Schiff’s post comes amidst ongoing debates and legal cases surrounding the 2020 Presidential election.
Media reports suggest that Trump genuinely believed the election was stolen, a claim his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reportedly testified to before a grand jury.
The case relates to accusations of Trump's alleged unlawful attempts to reverse his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden.
The Republican frontrunner is scheduled to stand trial on multiple fronts: state criminal charges in Atlanta, as well as federal charges in Washington, D.C..
Trump’s trials come with a long list of court dates that are bound to clash with other routine events that a typical presidential candidate might enjoy, including next week's first Republican presidential primary debate.
