GOP senators to attend Biden inauguration Wednesday after objecting to his Electoral College win
Fox News ^ | 01.17.2020 | Marisa Schultz

At least half of the eight GOP senators who voted against President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory will be attending the inauguration Wednesday in Washington to support the peaceful transfer of power, Fox News has learned.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who spearheaded the Jan. 6 effort to toss out electoral votes for Biden, will attend the official swearing-in at the Capitol. Sens. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., who joined with Cruz in objecting to Biden's victory before a Joint Session of Congress, also will attend Biden's inauguration, their offices confirmed.

And Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who voted to reject Biden's electors in the state of Pennsylvania, also will show up Wednesday. Scott last week even urged President Trump to attend, too, but Trump declined.

"I plan to attend and believe it is an important tradition that demonstrates the peaceful transfer of power to our people and to the world," Scott said last week.

Along with Cruz, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., led the effort to object to Biden's Electoral College votes even after a deadly riot at the Capitol interrupted the counting of the votes. Both Cruz and Hawley have caught plenty of heat for ginning up the base about the long-shot challenges that fed into the Capitol riot.

Any Elected public servant I have the privilege to cast my vote for or against that attend this farce inauguration, will be getting a NO vote from me in the future, and I will work diligently against their reelection attempts.

Not this time.
This time it shows the installation of a thief and legitimizes fraud and criminality.

“Thanks” for going along with it../s

An inauguration usually demonstrates a democracy's peaceful transfer of power. Not this time. This time it
installs the head of a Crime Family and legitimizes voter fraud, and criminality. There's a muddy govt road ahead.....
more and more power grabs, selling official acts for cash.......you name it.

Unlike the democrats who told President Trump to get screwed at his inauguration. The GOP is a bunch of disloyal, treasonous cowards.

To do what?

Ineffectively posture?

I have yet to hear them reject anything FUJoe has proposed.
NO one speaks in opposition.

Chuckie Schumer was bleating “Resist” from day one...Where are our guys?

This not the behavior of people who won 2020 fair and square. These are the furtive actions of the left’s guilt.
<><> paranoia about stealing power;
<><> fear that power-mongering will be worthless when people know the truth;
<><> showing how monstrous and totalitarian the left really is;
<><> publicly calling for censuring and banning views they hate,
<><> the “insurrection” hoax,
<><> presidential impeachment without due process,
<><> not giving Trump the chance to defend himself,
<><> making it punishable to show the monstrous left’s totalitarian nature;
<><> seeking to criminalize and penalize any talk of a stolen election,
<><> brutally shutting down any talk of election fraud.
