Watch CNN's Acosta & Ex-Acting DHS Sec Wolf Go Head-to-Head Over Legitimacy of Biden's 2020 Win_我的网站

一 |     STOCKHOLM -- The killing of two Swedish citizens in an attack ahead of a soccer match in Brussels has shocked the Scandinavian country, although the government has been warning for months that Swedes were at greater risk since a recent string of public desecrations of the Quran holy book by a handful of anti-Islam activists. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson on Tuesday noted that the government and the security service in August had raised the terror alert to the second-highest level following threats against Sweden by Islamic extremists. “Now we know with chilling clarity that there were grounds for those concerns,” he said. The desecrations, primarily by an Iraqi refugee living in Sweden, have sparked angry reactions in Muslim countries. In June, demonstrators in Iraq stormed the Swedish Embassy and the Iraqi government cut off diplomatic relations with Sweden. The desecrations have raised questions -– including in Sweden -– about why such acts are allowed.Swedish officials have repeatedly condemned the desecrations while saying they are allowed under freedom of speech. The government is investigating whether to give police greater authority to stop such acts on security grounds.“Not everything that is legal is appropriate," Kristersson said Tuesday. “What you do in Sweden can have consequences elsewhere.”In August, Sweden raised its terror alert to the second-highest level for the first time since 2016 following the Quran burnings and threats from militant groups.In a statement Tuesday, the Swedish Security Service, known as SÄPO, said the situation was ”serious” and that it was “working closely with the Belgian authorities.”Kristersson said he had been told by Belgium that the perpetrator "had stayed in Sweden but was not known to the Swedish police.”The European Union's passport-free zone allowed him to travel to Sweden. “We have an openness in Europe, which is one of the important reasons why we need to keep an eye on the EU’s external border, because otherwise people can easily move between European countries,” Kristersson said.In Sweden, there is no law specifically prohibiting the desecration of the Quran or other religious texts. The right to hold public demonstrations is protected by the Swedish Constitution. Police generally give permission based on whether they believe a public gathering can be held without major disruptions or risks to public safety.Many in Sweden say criticizing religion, even in a manner that is considered offensive by believers, must be allowed and that Sweden should resist pressure to re-introduce blasphemy laws which were abandoned decades ago in the predominantly Lutheran but highly secularized nation.Sweden, once largely insulated from militant violence, has experienced attacks in recent years.On April 7, 2017, Rakmat Akilov, an Uzbek man who said he wanted to punish Sweden for joining a coalition against the Islamic State group, drove a stolen truck into a crowd in Stockholm, killing five people and wounding 14 others. He was convicted of terror-related murder and given a life sentence.Another man, Taimour Abdulwahab, blew himself up in the same area in December 2010 when it was packed with Christmas shoppers, killing himself and injuring two people.A 2007 drawing of the Prophet Muhammad by a Swedish cartoonist, Lars Vilks, raised tensions. In May 2011, Vilks was assaulted while giving a speech in Uppsala, and vandals unsuccessfully tried to burn down his home in southern Sweden.。    Former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and CNN presenter Jim Acosta got into bit of a verbal duel over Wolf's allegations of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.,Wolf's Sunday appearance on CNN saw Acosta prod the Trump-era official to comment on whether President Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election; however, within moments, the discussion turned tense.,.@Acosta doesn't allow Chad Wolf to get away with not answering when asked if Joe Biden won the 2020 election. At one point Acosta told Wolf that he sounded like a conspiracy theorist. pic.twitter.com/YJCTIkyNgq— Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) August 21, 2022,Wolf raised the issue of voter fraud and irregularities, prompting Acosta's question of: "Who won the 2020 election?",The former DHS secretary responded: "Obviously Joe Biden is president." Unsatisfied with the answer, Acosta pressed, asking: "Do you believe that he won that election fair and square?",However much the CNN host pressed him, Wolf did not budge.,Wolf declared that Biden was president, but ultimately added that he lacked sufficient proof to declare Biden's election genuine. The Trump-era official proceeded to reference the use of drop boxes in Wisconsin to support his allegations of fraud, stating that polling regularly reveals Americans' lack of faith in election security.,"There are a number of irregularities, illegalities and fraud," Wolf said before Acosta interjected with: "Not enough to alter the outcome of the election.",Wolf was criticized by Acosta for subverting democracy and guiding Americans down a "path of lies," among other things.,As the segment came to a close, Acosta stated: "It sounds like you've watched one too many conspiracy theories on the 2020 election.",The discourse around possible violations in the 2020 presidential election has not subsided, thanks in large part to Trump's repeated assertions that Biden won due to multiple violations at the polling stations.,This rhetoric is supported by the former president's sympathizers, especially amid the Biden administration's failures to deal with crises, such as record inflation and the disruption of supply chains.。
