Jill Stein Accuses Democrats of Cheating
- Jill Stein claims Democrats cheat and change rules to retain power.
- Stein suggests renaming Democrat Party to 'Anti-Democratic Party'.
- Accusations highlight internal conflict within political parties.
CHICAGO, Illinois — Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein has accused the Democratic Party of manipulating electoral rules to suppress competition, responding to former First Lady Michelle Obama's recent remarks about integrity in politics. Stein's comments came after Obama criticized former President Donald Trump, asserting that Democrats do not cheat to get ahead. Stein contends that the Democratic establishment has actively sought to disqualify independent candidates, including herself and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., from appearing on ballots. Stein highlighted ongoing legal challenges against independent candidates, particularly in Georgia, where efforts are underway to disqualify Kennedy based on his residency claims. She noted that Democrats have also targeted her own candidacy, as well as those of other independent candidates like Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz, through lawsuits aimed at removing them from ballots. This pattern of behavior, according to Stein, reflects a broader strategy by Democrats to eliminate political competition. In an interview with Breitbart News, Stein suggested that the Democratic Party should be rebranded as the "Anti-Democratic Party," accusing them of employing corporate lawyers to undermine third-party candidates. She expressed frustration over the tactics used to challenge her ballot access, claiming that these efforts drain resources and hinder democratic participation. Despite these challenges, Stein confirmed her presence on ballots in numerous states, while acknowledging ongoing struggles in others, including New York. She remains determined to fight against what she perceives as undemocratic practices by the major parties.
