McDaniel Refuses To Say Biden Was Elected Fairly

CNN has the transcript:

WALLACE: When did you stop being an election denier?

MCDANIEL: I think saying there were problems with 202020 [sic] is very real. I don’t think that’s election-denying. I mean, Chris, I am from Wayne County. We had a woman send a note saying, “I’m being told to backdate ballots.” We had to look into that. That’s deeply concerning. When you have friends who are poll-watching and get kicked out, that’s deeply concerning. We have every right to look at that. And I think everybody should have a little more concern about, listen–

WALLACE: Wait a minute. Are you saying as the chair of the Republican Party that you still have questions as to whether or not Joe Biden was the duly elected president in 2020?

MCDANIEL: Joe Biden’s the president–

WALLACE: No, I didn’t ask you whether he’s the president.

MCDANIEL: I don’t think that–I think there were lots of problems–

WALLACE: Do you think he won the election?

MCDANIEL: I think there were lots of problems with question 2020. Ultimately, he won the election.

WALLACE: Pardon?

MCDANIEL: Ultimately he won the election but there were lots of problems with the 2020 election, 100%.

WALLACE: And that’s fair.

MCDANIEL: But I don’t think he won it fair. I don’t. I’m not gonna say that.

WALLACE: You’re saying you’re not sure – as the Republican Party chair – that he was the legitimately elected president?

MCDANIEL: I’m saying there were lots of problems with the 2020 election and we need to fix it going forward.
