Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas.
Well the GOP House Reps certainly know how to go down with a sinking ship. That’s some astounding fealty. Destructive to their party. Certainly destructive to their personal legacies. And most certainly destructive to any claims of patriotism and loyalty to country.
By voting to not acknowledge that there is a person intimately involved with the January 6 insurrection, who refuses to tell the country his part in it all, is cowardly beyond words.
You made your choice Rep Pfluger. It was a bad one. But you have to live with it.
This is what you’re defending…
“A Republican member of the House texted Meadows on November 4, the day after the election, saying: “HERE’S an AGRESSIVE [sic] STRATEGY: Why can t [sic] the states of GA NC PENN and other R controlled state houses declare this is BS (where conflicts and election not called that night) and just send their own electors to vote and have it go to the SCOTUS[?]"
That is, a Republican member of Congress wanted Republican-dominated state legislatures not even to wait to see who had won the election—none of those states had been called by November 4—but simply to ignore the will of the voters, choose their own electors, and hope that the Supreme Court would hand the election to Trump as he had been saying for weeks it would.
That’s what you’re defending with last night’s vote.
But like Mitch McConnell so succinctly put it…
“We are all watching what’s unfolding on the House side.”
“It will be interesting to reveal all of the participants that were involved.”
Indeed it will.
