Tom Cotton calls on Trump to concede, 'quit misleading the American people'

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on President Trump to concede his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden, saying he should "quit misleading" the American people.

“It’s past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence,” Cotton said in a statement Wednesday evening.

“And the senators and representatives who fanned the flames by encouraging the president and leading their supporters to believe that their objections could reverse the election results should withdraw those objections,” he continued.

The remarks from Cotton, a key Trump ally, came hours after a mob of Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol building around 2 p.m., prompting lawmakers to evacuate and suspend their tally of the Electoral College votes certifying Biden's victory.

Cotton is in freefall. He might as well switch to Dem at this point.

Is there a legal need to concede? I wouldn’t do it for anything.

I used to say - and you can look this up, I’m not embarrassed to look like a fool - I used to say that as long as Trump gave us his supreme court justices, his job would be done.

I was wrong. His SCOTUS appointments are not the answer, and if they were apparently our enemy can just increase the court size anyway.

This.. this is his moment. If he holds onto the Oval Office then we will go to war with China and win. If anything else happens China will win their soft-war and dominate the entirety of the planet for a 1000 years.

What in the world happened to this guy?

Some big donors approached him and said they like his views on constant wars all over the globe and he could be at the head of the line for donations in 2024 if he repudiates Trump?

They expect Trump to run again in 2024. None of these useless Senators seem to be preparing a run.

Key word is ‘was’. Must have received a “Hunter’s share” from the Chicoms!

If he holds onto the Oval Office

Describe a scenario where that is even possible.

“What if Trump refuses to EVER concede?”

There is no requirement that a candidate who was certified to have lost publicly concede.

Thank you. Nothing Trump has done or said in response to today’s events justifies the reactions by the social media giants, MSM, politicians, etc. And he certainly doesn’t deserve to be removed over it.

We are living a nightmare.

Good people here but the elite politicians are owned by the above who are all tied at the hip to the CCP

No surprise that a turncoat turns.....

RE: Never concede does not mean he has to stay in the White House. Never Concede means not recognizing Joe Biden as President.

OK, he will leave the White House but continue to oppose and not recognize Joe Biden as President?

I wonder how this will work ... is he going to refuse to pay the tax increases that will inevitably be passed by Biden’s administration?
