Rep. Paul Mitchell quits GOP, becoming an independent, over party’s refusal to accept Trump loss to Biden
CNBC ^ | December 14, 2020 | Dan Mangan

Posted on 12/14/2020 3:15:13 PM PST by Trump20162020

Rep. Paul Mitchell of Michigan quit the Republican Party on Monday over the GOP’s refusal to admit that President Donald Trump lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden.

Mitchell, in a scathing letter to GOP leaders, wrote that Trump’s baseless claims alleging widespread ballot fraud, and the Republican Party’s tolerance of those claims, threatened “long-term harm to our democracy.”

Well there was no word from Ted based on the fact that it would’ve been too premature. Now that the EC has voted, I expect Cruz or maybe Rand Paul too officially object to accepting the EC results on January 6. Time will tell.

I’m not familiar with this Lumbricus terrestris. Is this obvious or did we smoke out a hidden enemy?

He needed to express his TDS for all to see in the most public way he had left. No doubt this sorry sack of excrement has been hating on Trump for years.

He looks like the type of guy you see in men’s restrooms playing footsies with the guy in the next stall

Senator Larry "Wide Stance" Craig resembles that remark.

“He is from a solidly Republican district....“

Good. Then that district should have no trouble replacing him with a real Republican in 2022.

It not possible for a man to rise to this level in politics, and not know that there was massive election fraud.

Which leaves only one conclusion.

“””No big deal. He did not run for re-election. The seat was held by Lisa McClain, who Trump endorsed.
Just chalk this up as his embittered opus.”””


Thanks for the ‘rest of the story’. FR should have a policy that when a FReeper posts a news story, the FReeper is obligated to include any relevant disclaimer. I am seeing too many people getting overly agitated.

Since most FReepers did not know PMS was a lame duck, such a disclaimer would have prevented the burst spleens.

How much is Ted Cruz really supporting Trump? Yes I know he was willing to argue in front of the Supreme Court...

If you want my opinion Ted Cruz is appearing to help Trump as a way to pave his path to 2024 nomination. He is still on a lot of people 'never' list after he used his 2016 convention speech to urge the GOP to refuse to nominate Trump. There is no question that will be raised as that campaign proceeds. He needs to distance himself from it. So offering to argue a case he probably expected wouldn't even make it to the court was a good way to wave his arms, shout 'look at me! I'm a Trump guy! Forget about that convention stuff!'

I like Ted Cruz but he's a politician with aspirations to rise. His actions need to be evaluated through that lens.

Satan truly has blinded the eyes of so many people. Imagine believing that someone who has prevailed in a contest by cheating is a winner. Imagine criticizing those who object to the cheating. It makes no sense except in the context of eschatology.

Trump was cheated. And so were the votes of 74 million Americans. Nothing this chump is doing is the right thing to do.

We don’t need a third party. The GOP just needs an enema to clear out the RINOs.

Good... That arrogant a$$hole actually voted to allow more illegals in, one of only a few pubs to do so.... I sent him an email asking why... He said he voted his conscience... I told him I would work to see him defeated in the primary... He did not run for re-election...
