Err, I think he's referring to the stolen election being the sign that the
Bill of Rights are done for (missing since inauguration day) in our country.
He's wrong, of course. The Bill of Rights was trampled on way before that. I
keep trying to pick a first president to pin it on (FDR being a personal
favorite, as I've opined here before) but keep having to move the start of
it back in time farther and farther. Right now I'm thinking that Andrew
Jackson might be a good candidate, but I'm not sure.
