Republican contender for Virginia governor says Trump should declare martial law

RICHMOND, VA. » State Sen. Amanda Chase, a brash Republican gubernatorial contender who bills herself as “Trump in heels,” called on President Donald Trump on Tuesday to declare martial law to prevent his removal from office.

One day after the electoral college formally confirmed former vice president Joe Biden’s victory over Trump, Chase doubled down on baseless allegations of election fraud on Facebook.

“Not my President and never will be,” she wrote of Biden. “The American people aren’t fools. We know you cheated to win and we’ll never accept these results. Fair elections we can accept but cheating to win; never. It’s not over yet. So thankful President Trump has a backbone and refuses to concede. President Trump should declare martial law as recommended by General Flynn.”
