Republicans Objecting to Electoral Vote Remind Pelosi of Statements She Made After 2004 Election

Texas Rep. Jodey Arrington is one of several Republicans who are going to challenge Wednesday's electoral college certification. The Electoral Count Act of 1887 gives lawmakers the right to do so if they believe that votes have been "unlawfully certified" in certain states.

Their effort is getting plenty of pushback from Democrats. But in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed by over 40 Republican lawmakers, Arrington reminds her that she too has a history of supporting such objections.

"In fact, during the joint session debate of the 2004 presidential election, you yourself characterized Democrats' electoral vote count objections as 'democracy at work' and 'fundamental to democracy,'" Arrington writes. "Madame Speaker, you supported and even praised the objections of Democrat Members as 'speaking up for their aggrieved constituents' who had been 'disfranchised.'"

And don't forget this beauty:

Nanzi can’t remember what happened yesterday, let alone 2004.

A majority of these lame republicans are spineless and today will be nothing more than a publicity stunt to fool the people that they are really concerned. In reality nothing will happen. Notice they don’t really come out strongly say there was fraud they dance around it so they don’t have to commit one way or the other. They are only looking at the bottom line which is lining their pockets with President Trump out of the way. This is going to be a rough few years as we will be the ones in the crosshairs that both the RINOS and DIMS along with their Chicom alliance will go after.

Hypocrisy doesn’t bother Democrats in the least. Nor do their lies and deceit.

Yet the country rewards them with complete power over the government.
