Pa. lawmakers go silent after Trump summons them to White House
York Dispatch ^ | November 27, 2020 | William Bender of The Philadelphia Inquirer and Angela Couloumbis of Spotlight PA

President Donald Trump on Wednesday summoned Republican members of the Pennsylvania legislature to the White House after a GOP hearing in Gettysburg in which Trump phoned in to reassert his false claim that he “won Pennsylvania by a lot.”

But on Thursday, no one wanted to talk about the meeting.

The White House did not issue a public statement about the visit, and lawmakers who made the trip to Washington were silent.

President-elect Joe Biden won Pennsylvania and its 20 electoral votes by 80,555 votes, according to the results Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified Tuesday. The former vice president is ahead in the national popular vote by about six million votes. Election officials across the country have found no evidence of widespread fraud, as Trump has alleged.

Even with the Biden transition underway, the president is pressing ahead with increasingly desperate attempts to invalidate the election or raise doubt about Biden’s legitimacy as the incoming president.

Mastriano wasn’t “silent” on Steve Bannon’s War Room: Pandemic this morning. They are moving toward the legislature taking back their authority to select electors. It’s a process and they aren’t taking days off or slowing down.

William will be on a “bender” when he learns Trump is staying for another 4 years.

Because he didn’t. Nor did he win Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Maybe even Nevada.

This is a load of crap, State Sen. Doug Mastriano was just on Bannon’s show about a half hour ago. They are revved and ready to roll.

Confirmed. They are introducing legislation to invalidate the certification, if not the currently appointed Secretary of State. An uphill battle looms, especially with a Democratic Governor, but not impossible, based on the current piles of evidence. They will be doing all they can, and God Bless them for it.

The media is in on the whole fraud. It started before the election in the form of fake polling and setting the narrative of the “red mirage.” It continued on election day with the quick calls of states for Biden and outright refusal to call call Texas, Florida, etc for Trump.

Then, immediately following allegations of irregularities, words like “baseless, without evidence, ludicrous, outrageous,” etc were immediately applied to any claim.

This was a well coordinated effort involving state, local, and federal governments as well as the media. Possibly even foreign governments.

And they have the audacity to call us crazy.

“Election officials across the country have found no evidence of widespread fraud, as Trump has alleged.”

So now it’s WIDESPREAD fraud.

““False claim”... journalism at its best.”

So did they have reporters in the Philadelphia vote-counting centers, or are they listening to their masters at the NY Times.

And it’s still “(e)lection officials”, as if they were the sole arbiter. Good old “argumentum ad verecundiam”.
