Response from Rob Portman
Jan. 4, 2021 | Self

Posted on 01/04/2021 10:59:42 AM PST by SMARTY

I got this response from Rob Portman. I had e mailed him to askhim to support the President:

Dear xxxxx (my name) Thank you for contacting me regarding the 2020 Presidential Election. It is good to hear from you and I appreciate the opportunity to engage with you.

The U.S. presidential election was held on November 3, 2020. With historic turnout across the board, it is clear that the American people were fully engaged in this election. The strong turnout for both candidates and both parties is a healthy sign for our democracy. Along with more than 71 million Americans, and a majority of Ohio voters, I voted for President Trump. In this close election, President Trump had every right to insist that all legally cast ballots are counted. He also has the right to appropriate recounts and the right to go to court to resolve any questions about irregularities. Allowing a fair and transparent process is important to providing Americans more assurances of the integrity of the election and helping the country heal after a contentious campaign. That has now happened, and although there were instances of fraud and irregularities, it has not been shown to be widespread enough to change the result of the election. In accordance with the Constitution and federal law, the Electoral College cast their votes for President on December 14, 2020. I think we need to respect this process the Founding Fathers established, and we must respect the will of the voters. States must take seriously the proven examples of fraud and irregularities, prosecute anyone who engaged in it, and review voting systems to maintain the integrity of our elections. The orderly transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy, and although I supported President Trump, the Electoral College vote makes clear that Joe Biden is now President-Elect.

The presidential election was contentious and hard fought. Roughly half of America was bound to be disappointed with the outcome. My hope is that all of us, as Americans, regardless of who we supported in the campaign, will be willing to accept the result because a thorough process was followed and the final vote count was clear.

I also want to commend and congratulate Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, the county boards of elections, and the more than 50,000 Ohio poll workers for conducting a safe, secure, and transparent election in Ohio. It was not easy in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and I am grateful for their efforts.

Our country faces serious challenges, from the public health and economic crises brought on by COVID-19, to an epidemic of drug addiction, to our growing national security threats. To solve these problems, we need to come together and rise above the dysfunction in Washington. I know if we work together, we can deliver results and make a real difference in the lives of Ohioans and all Americans.

Thank you again for contacting me. It is an honor to represent you and the great state of Ohio in the United States Senate. Please visit HYPERLINK "http://www.portman.senate.gov/" www.portman.senate.gov for more information.

Sincerely, Rob Portman U.S. Senator

Dear Sen. Portman.

Congratulations. You and every other spineless Republican Senator who fails to stand up to the election fraud that occurred will be primaried.

Doesn’t Portman realize he is ending his political “career” either way this goes?

To be expected from a Bush League Republican.

Don’t vote for any more.

Just curious. Lots of memes floating around about the numbers and if the math is even possible.

If that 206 million is legit then the math works, on paper. Not legitimately.

It’s easy to create a meme with inaccurate information to make people look foolish.

"Fraud is OK by me. I don't care about hundreds of thousands of fake ballots provided by the CCP, and sent to the states where Biden needed them to win. I am a member of the uni-party, a vassal party of the CCP, and was paid well by them. Behave or end up in a gulag"

Well , I asked a question for a reason and some clarification.

While I consider myself very engaged I’m not pouring through the internet for everything. I find most of the people that comment on here to be smart, respectful and helpful. Some not so much.

You should respond by telling him that it's very sad that Kyle Rittenhouse has bigger pelotas than he does. Ask him if he speaks Mandarin.

“I am sick to my stomach”

Don’t be. With all of the evidence that Biden wasn’t legitimately elected it’s going to be a rough ride for him personally and the things he wants to do. Might also be a rough ride for all of the politicians that went along with the deep state and refused to look at evidence.

Also, I’m hoping that there will be vast improvements to the voting process.

It’s just what I expect from a whiney half-lib politico ... they don’t have ANY idea what they sound like.

That’s what happens when you lose your objectivity and get TOTALLY wrapped up in yourself

You’re probably right. I wasn’t sure when Portman’s seat is up again.

Although if Trump prevails, I’d actually like to see Jordan as the AG.

Horse. Shit.

biden is a temp...Heels is the endgame. If biden doesn’t possess enough integrity or strength of character to demand proof that the election was conducted fairly, the last thing on his addled mind will be concern that he will face a “rough ride for him personally.” He laughs every night at how easy it was to steal the election...and sleeps like a baby.

The only improvement to the “voting process” is that 70+ million conservatives won’t be standing in line to cast a “vote.”

The jackals in our own government are determined to use that skank Heels to destroy our country. biden is just a facilitator..and he knows it.

One thing to consider is that letters are answered by and most likely signed by staffers. I suspect the reply is a canned one designed to keep heat off the Senator. I’d say this guy is a chickenshit that is afraid those writing to him lean left and would post a favorable Trump reply with the NYT or WaPo.

What counts is what this turd does Jan 6th when the evidence is presented.

The time to stroke out is not now. Wait until close of business on Jan 6th. Even after there there is hope up to Jan 20th.

“biden is a temp...Heels is the endgame”

Hillary was also the endgame. If you believe Trump really got 80 million or so votes we’re better off now than we were in 2016.

What ever becomes of Heels, no one is going to like her.
