GOP reps gather on conference call with Trump over Electoral College certification rejection

Brooks says his aim to overturn the election's results is gaining 'momentum'

------------------------------

Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., said Republican congressmen held a rare Saturday night conference call to address their goal of overturning the Electoral College’s votes Jan. 6.

"Our fight for honest & accurate elections gains momentum," Brooks tweeted as the conference call continued.

"[Jim Jordan] & I co-lead conference call w 50+ Congressmen who join & fight for America's Republic," he said, adding that the call began at 6 p.m. and continued well through 7 p.m.

"President Trump & [White House Chief of Staff] Mark Meadows speaking. Morale is HIGH! FIGHT!"

Neither Brooks nor Jordan could be reached immediately by Fox News to confirm which representatives were on the call.

Trump applauded the Republican congressmen who have said they will reject the Electoral College votes. He has shown his frustration for congressmen who have accepted the Biden victory, calling them "weak and tired" in a Tuesday tweet.

In order for an objection to be considered, it must be endorsed by at least one senator and representative, which ia looking more likely as a dozen senators came forward Saturday following Sen. Josh Hawley’s announcement that he would object Pennsylvania’s results.

Following an endorsed objection, the House and Senate would suspend their joint session and separate to debate objections for two hours.

The House and Senate would then vote on certifying the results; the objections must maintain a simple majority, otherwise they will be dismissed and the existing results finalized.

Brooks said Saturday the push to encourage more GOP lawmakers to object to the results was gaining "momentum."

Gods favor to those of you going to DC to support those who have the courage to do the right thing.

I was to go, but now have the “fever” and am not to take the chance of spreading this infection to fellow American Patriots.

May God grant his favor to the president and those who support him.

Nothing is impossible, even if unlikely or uncertain.

I know what the reality is, but we can bombard them with phone calls and Pray.

No, I dont think this can happen without God stepping in.

There are things in my life that I thought were impossible and then God stepped in.

Calling and praying.

And whatever happens, it’s OUR country to fight for or not.

I’d MUCH rather not physically fight for it.

But I would if it came to that.

God Bless

On January 6th, the Congressional proceedings NEED to open with objections from the House and Senate to ANY acceptance of electors from ALL states utilizing the Dominion voting systems. Dominion voting systems are a national security threat to the USA

This forces the debate over their integrity to the floor of the Congress and instantly defines the traitors and the patriots in the room

You have no idea what to come if they determine to force a conflict dp.

They are in for a rude awakening. If you, and your fellows in the city can find a place to harbor out of the city, you might want to at least look into it.

I suppose you have a large neighborhood all aligned towards your individual alliances, if so, good luck to you.

There is NO way that we can win a simple majority in the house. I wish...

How many democrats have joined to prove that the election was not fair and honest?

As I see it each rep and sen is either ok with the fraud or they are opposed to it. There is no middle ground. Stand up and be counted congress people!!!

This is all too much for me to sort through but there is part of the vote that is based on voting blocks per State and when that kicks in Republicans have the majority in the House

It still has to be done, win, lose or draw. Note from Mark Levin's op-ed on December 30th...

I am well aware that it takes a majority of both Houses to send the election of the president to the House of Representatives, where each delegation gets one vote, an extremely difficult hurdle.

Nonetheless, it is not asking too much for the Republicans to uphold the United States Constitution — which they all took an oath to do — and to fight to preserve and protect the plain words set forth in Article II. They must make the case to and on behalf of the American people. And they must make it clear to the Democrats that we, the people, who believe in this Republic, will not roll over! Now, let's see how many statesmen there are among Republican members of Congress.

Levin: On January 6, we learn whether our Constitution will hold

“...Stand up and be counted congress people!!!..”

Yep....they should. Many more than that already have.
But one must remember that would require a spine and a slight modicum of intestinal fortitude. That’s asking for an awful lot from the typical congress critter.....maybe toss out a few million Chinese yen at em, and they might. /S

god bless Levin

this election fraud should have been investigated by the FBI, and prosecuted by the DOJ.

The fBI and DOJ are the enemy within

The article says they need a simple majority in the house and senate. But my understanding is that each state gets a vote. There are more red states than blue.

That’s not correct. The full House, and the full Senate vote, as normal (eg: 435 votes in the House, 100 in the Senate) on each objection.
