US Presidential Election
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-06
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Barely a week goes by that President Donald Trump does not do something else that horrifies me and threatens either his own society or the wider world in some way. One of the more disturbing suggestions of recent times is that he would not accept the outcome of an election if he lost it. That is a serious business when one considers the extremely tense situation that exists in the US. Has the Minister any reaction to those sorts of suggestions from President Trump?
