Trump administration economic advisor Peter Navarro is doubling down on the explosive claims he made last week regarding election integrity in Michigan.
Navarro spoke with former Trump administration chief strategist Steve Bannon.
“My top-line number at this point for illegal, possibly illegal ballots, is 379,000,” Navarro said on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. “That’s more than twice the victory margin.”
So-called “illegal ballots” would be those that should have been disqualified for any number of issues.
Navarro, in his report, The Immaculate Deception, noted six areas of concern in the Nov. 3 election.
Of the six swing states where the Trump campaign is contesting the vote, Navarro said Michigan was the worst.
“In Michigan it was arguably the worst in Detroit, Wayne County, it was pure thuggery what appeared to happen there,” Navarro said.
Poll watchers claim to have faced discrinination and reported they were not allowed to properly observe the vote.
“[T]his is kind of like the pillar of a fair election,” Navarro said.
