Chris Wallace: Jan. 6 panel painting Trump as a ‘loser in a naked grab for power’ following election
CNN anchor and analyst Chris Wallace said the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is attempting to paint former President Trump as a “loser” desperate to hold on to power following his loss in the 2020 election.
“If they’re successful today, and obviously to Trump supporters nothing they say may be successful, but if they’re successful in putting the lie to the big lie, then suddenly Trump is not an aggrieved party,” Wallace said during CNN’s coverage of Monday’s second hearing of the committee.
“He’s simply a loser, in a naked grab for power and willing to overturn the judgement of 150 million American voters and say that he won when he didn’t win.”

“There was never a chance that they were going to find enough votes to switch,” Wallace said Monday in reference to Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results through recounts and lawsuits.
“It’s what Bill Barr said: It wasn’t that ‘if there was fraud,’ it was, ‘was there fraud on the dimensions that would actually reverse the outcome of the election?’ And there never was a chance of that,” Wallace said.
