Does it matter? Call him whatever you want.
Yes, it matters.

Conservative nut-jobs like Owens are actively trying to delegitimize Biden's presidency. Denying Biden as president-elect is one such attempt.

Owen's wants to fuel Trump's guillable base with reasons to continue believing Trump hasn't lost. That's the purpose for word games like saying Biden's not "legally" president-elect, even though it's not a legal term to begin with.

Chris Krebs was on 60 Minutes today and they let him lie over and over again and get away with it. Thousands of votes were flipped from Trump to Biden in Antrim County MI. It is a fact. It was caught and corrected, but that does not change the fact thousands of votes were flipped.

Chris Krebs is a liar and he deserved to be fired. Antrim County MI proves that. 60 Minutes did a hit piece on Trump by allowing Chris Krebs to continue lying about it. Votes were flipped. It is a fact.

Chis Krebs is a lying creep. He is lying about vote flipping that happened and that is a fact. Owens is simply telling the truth. Biden will not be the president elect until Dec. 14th. If you don't like people pointing out Biden is not the PUTUS elect, why? You know he will be the next POTUS, so what does it matter what others say? Do you secretly have doubt? Why do you let it bother you?

The same night Trump was elected, Obama congratulated Trump and called him the president-elect. Conservatives are spiteful creatures who can't take a loss with any shred of class or dignity.

What if he called him the king of France? Would that prove he is the king of France?

The creator of this thread already proved you wrong. See his link in his OP. Technically, Biden is not the president elect. You can believe anything you want, it doesn't make it so.

Nope. Owens confronted FB's fact checker and they were compelled to remove the "false" lable.
PolitiFact uncensored the post & admitted that they LIED by rating my post false.
The only sour grapes I've seen here is coming from our resident *leftwinger-looney-tunes-squad*.


* truth in labeling still applies

Of course not.
Just like you would never admit to lying.

No one expects the left to hold themselves accountable.

It's understandable that those in thrall to complusive liars would have a problem with fact checkers.

So Owens claimed something that is false?

Did she do so knowing it was false and with intent to deceive?

If so, what did she do?

Like I just said, no one expects the left to hold THEMSELVES accountable... why do you think Owens said "LIED" in all Caps?
She knows the left will never admit to any wrong doing.
Even YOU know that. But it's okay with me if you want to keep playing dumb.

Or maybe you're NOT playing, maybe you really are... (unable to face the truth)

You lack reading skills if believe the OP "proved" anything.

Biden *is* the president-elect, per the definition of the term. Case closed.

Biden is not "legally" the president-elect, because it's not a legal term and never has been; this is therefore a nonsense point by Owens that does nothing but feed ignorant conservatives more nonsense.

See Trump, the Republican Senators (like Ron Johnson) refusing acknowledge Biden won, the conservative posters like Metal Brain, or the THOUSANDS of Trump supporters marching in the streets claiming election fraud.
