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.

Guys and Gals, there’s only about 10 senators in the Republican Party that are REAL Republican’s. And, maybe 40 in the House. So, let’s stop kidding ourselves. Time to start the Constitution Party.

Romney receives applause in the senate and brands those senators backing objections to state electoral votes as part of the insurrection.

Very soon after leaving office they will put him and his family in cuffs to the uproarious applause of the media and the leftists / commies / china.

I think he knows he can’t leave. I hope he does.

Time to dump any and all evidence of election fraud, foreign election manipulation or interference, Biden corruption/treason/Chinese collusion, evidence of bribery or blackmail on government officials.

Getting to be now or never time.

If you have it, drop it. Way too late for strategic timing or back room negotiations. This is an all out war and the objective is winning public perception and public opinion. If the evidence is there, people will back the President.

I think a sizable percentage of the adult population believes the election was stolen. Trump’s conceding would take pressure off of the thieves of the election. He should not concede, but the fact is the election is lost. Pressure is being put on House and Senate members to not object to the Electoral count and will likely succeed in light of today’s events.

The election has been successfully stolen. And Biden, bless his heart, if he lives, will be sworn in on the 20th. Since it will be a virtual inauguration, Trump can flip him a virtual bird on the 20th. Let Pence show Biden and Dr. Jill around the White House. John Adams left town the night before Jefferson was sworn in.

I believe that while he still holds his Presidential passport Trump and family should leave the country for a friendly foreign one that won’t extradite him. You know that minutes after Biden takes office, indictments will be issued.

That was my prayer - that they all be exposed for what they are and what they believe.

I hope President Trump makes one last speech and states clearly that Joe Biden is not and will never be the legitimate President of the United States.

Further I hope he says no law signed by an illegitimate President could ever be valid or enforceable.

For what? They can make life difficult for him, but i don't think they could get a jury to convict him.

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

There is no law requiring a President to concede.

I said nothing about President Trump not paying taxes, I only stated he is not require to recognize Joe Biden as President.

I do not recognize or will ever accept Joe Biden as my President. I am now living in an Occupied America.
