Several Democratic lawmakers tried to sideline the proceedings, objecting to the validity of the vote on the basis of what they called “voter suppression,” Russian interference in the election, and other factors.
Each time, Biden, who was presiding, rapped the gavel and cut them off because they did not have the necessary support for their objection from a U.S. senator.
“It is over,” Biden instructed Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., one of several who tried to lodge an objection. The chamber broke out in applause.
Credit to Biden on this, for keeping order and following the rule of law.
Yes, Biden was only doing his job. But when it comes to liberals, keeping order and following the rule of law...that’s, well, extraordinary.
Rep. Jayapal represents the same district that (thankfully) retired Congressman Jim McDermott did...basically, Seattle and the surrounding area.
Ashamed for my state.
