Trump ally Tom Fitton ridiculed after saying sources told him Biden is resigning on Monday
Donald Trump ally Tom Fitton was hit with backlash on social media this weekend after he said sources told him that President Joe Biden will not only quit the campaign, but resign from his office entirely, on Monday.
Fitton, who has previously been criticized for weighing in on legal matters for the former president despite not being a trained attorney, decided it would be best to spread rumors about Biden leaving the White House entirely. He couched the story in something he says he "heard" from a source.
"I reported this week that I was hearing that President Biden was going to resign from office on Monday," he said in a recent video. "I haven't seen anything to suggest that what I'm hearing is wrong."

But the comments suggest maybe his is wrong, after all. Or at least that he may be speaking from ignorance.
@Brasilmagic said that, "They’re all lying through their teeth, like Trump did."
Former DNC member Khary Penebaker said Fitton's “'sources' were like 'hey, let’s see what s--- we can make up and get Tom’s dumb a-- to say'!"
@_SavvyCat_ added this:
"Aren't you the LOSER who fed Trump the Clinton sock drawer story re: presidential records? Trump bleats it repeatedly like it justifies his treason taking classified docs. Did you forget to tell him the SCOTUS gave you a smack-down after they laughed you out of court?"
Even Fitton's own followers and supporters weren't fully on board with the theory."
@RelentlessLaman chimed in with, "We’ll see! I doubt it though!"
@MericasPlumber1 simply said, "Nah…"
@1800factsmatter also had this to say:
"Biden isn’t stepping down. Him and his family are too power drunk."
