During a Fox Business interview with Stuart Varney on Monday, former President Donald Trump pushed a new conspiracy that Facebook paid hundreds of millions for “phony lockboxes” that accounted for “96 percent Biden votes,” adding that, “They were like just dumping ballots, it was a phony deal!”
Trump has repeatedly pushed the big lie about the 2020 election during this interview with Stuart Varney, who refuses to push back at all. Poisonous ideas pumped directly into the brains of Fox viewers. pic.twitter.com/d3i1jQT7Ne

Trump’s new baseless claim that Facebook paid to rig the election with fake ballots triggered immediate mockery and bemusement on social media.
Trump thinks Facebook participated in election fraud. He’s insane. https://t.co/h1W8fO9QkU

This is sickening. I have family who watches this and worse—OAN & NewsMax. Can’t reason with them about anything.

I know it's a waste of time to factcheck these bozos but he did not get "75,000,000" votes as he always says. He got 74,216,154 which he rounds up because…that's not how rounding works. But if it does than Biden's 81,268,924 is actually 82,000,000. That's fair.
