Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah is pleading to supporters of her former boss to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Amid violence taking place on Capitol Hill, Farah--who left the White House in December as President Trump's legal team continued to challenge the Electoral College victory of President-elect Biden in several swing states--took to Twitter and urged Trump voters to face what she suggested is a harsh reality for them.

"Dear MAGA- I am one of you. Before I worked for @realDonaldTrump, I worked for @MarkMeadows & @Jim_Jordan & the @freedomcaucus. I marched in the 2010 Tea Party rallies. I campaigned w/ Trump & voted for him. But I need you to hear me: the Election was NOT stolen. We lost," Farah began her Twitter thread.
While she acknowledged that there "were cases of fraud" that "should be investigated," Farah stressed that "the legitimate margins of victory for Biden are far too wide to change the outcome. You need to know that."

"I’m proud of many policy accomplishments the Trump Admin had. But we must accept these results," Farah continued. "It’s time to regroup, organize, & campaign for political leaders we believe in, and let our democracy work. It is NOT and NEVER will be a time for violence. If you believe in America first, you believe in our Constitution, the rule of law, & our first principles."
