Washington (CNN)Congressional Republican leaders rejected a resolution that asserted that Joe Biden is president-elect, the latest effort by the Hill GOP to refuse to accept the election results even though it's been clear for weeks that President Donald Trump lost.
The rejection came Tuesday in a private meeting after House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer offered a motion to affirm that it is preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Rules Committee Chairman Roy Blunt of Missouri voted with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy in blocking the motion, effectively preventing the inaugural committee from publicly accepting that the upcoming inauguration will be for Biden. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, the ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee, voted with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Hoyer voting in favor.
"The extent to which Republicans are refusing to accept the outcome of the election and recognize Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next President and Vice President is astounding," Hoyer said in a statement. "Their continued deference to President Trump's post-election temper tantrums threatens our democracy and undermines faith in our system of elections ... Republicans are refusing even to allow (Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies) to say that President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris will be inaugurated on January 20, even when there is no serious dispute over that fact."

“President Trump’s post-election temper tantrums threatens our democracy and undermines faith in our system of elections .”
The media is always telling us that Trump’s tone is bad. What is this?
Steny Hoyer
Sucking on Pig-Lousies arse for years!
The left is so desperate to prevent the evidence of fraud from being given a legitimate hearing.
Hoyer you and your fellow communists are dirty, rotten thieves!
p
It was actually clear ON election night that he won.
Every time a CNN story is posted it causes the collective blood pressure of Free Republic to go up.
Juvenile propaganda
The Boehner boys are gone.
The Republican caucus is not going to be so easily rolled as in the past.
There is no “President-Elect until the House confirms the Electoral College total. Hoyer know that.
CNN claims without evidence, to be a news organization
