Charlie Knight, a military veteran, was among the two busloads of Lehigh Valley Tea Party members who attended the Nov. 14 March for Trump rally in Washington, D.C.

“Our Constitution is at stake,” Knight told Lehigh Times. “We’ve got a guy, Joe Biden, who is a criminal, trying to become president who has stolen more money from the American people in 47 years. His family has. Biden is beholden to China for giving them all the riches that they have. He has five houses on the salary of a senator.”

Joe Biden’s campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but as widely reported, the former vice president earned more than $16 million in book deals and public speaking events after leaving public office. According to USA Today, Biden only owns three houses and they were purchased for about $3 million in most cases. One is a vacation home in Delaware, another is a rental home in Virginia and the third is close to Wilmington. USA Today also notes that Biden hasn't made a senator's salary in more than 10 years.

Knight joined thousands of other conservatives who have questioned Election Day results since the Associated Press reported former Vice President Biden's winning Pennsylvania with 49.9% of state votes compared to President Trump's 48.9%.

Knight waved a sign that stated “Please No More China” while walking with the crowd from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court building across from the Capitol on Saturday at noon to support the president, who rode through the crowd in a motorcade.

“Not only no more manufacturing in China but no more viruses from China,” Knight said. “No more stinkbugs from China. No more raw lanternflies from China, and no more China stealing our intellectual property.”

Biden was named president-elect after winning 306 electoral votes compared to Trump’s 232. The deadline for all presidential electors to cast their votes is Dec. 14.

Among the lawsuits the Trump campaign filed in Pennsylvania is an attempt to block the certification of results that include absentee and mail-in ballots that were allegedly “improperly permitted to be cured,” according to the New York Post.

U.S. News reported that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has yet to rule on the GOP lawsuit requesting a ban on all absentee ballots that arrived after Nov. 3.

As reported by CBS News, voter groups, represented by election lawyer James Bopp Jr., voluntarily dismissed without prejudice four lawsuits that had been filed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia.

The fact that they were voluntarily dismissed without prejudice means the complaints can be refiled.
