Several Prominent Republicans Who Voted to Block Biden Win Will Now Be Attending His Heavily-Guarded Inauguration
The Western Journal ^ | JANUARY 17, 2021 | JACK DAVIS

Several Republicans who objected to the Electoral College vote during the Jan. 6 debate marred by riots that swept through the U.S. Capitol are expected to be in attendance as President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office on Wednesday.

Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Rick Scott of Florida will attend, according to Fox News. That would mean half of the GOP senators who objected to the results of the election plan to attend.

“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.

In a statement after Congress certified the Electoral College vote, Cruz said the objections he and others voiced were a part of the political process and represented the will of the American people.

“Millions of Americans who have peacefully expressed their deep concerns regarding election integrity deserve to have their voices heard,” Cruz said, according to the Texas Tribune. “I very much wish Congress had not set aside these concerns, but I respect the position each of my colleagues took. Debate in the two houses of Congress is the proper way to resolve our political differences, not through violent attacks.”

This is news? Not!

These are career politicians as is the case with every. Member. Of. Congress. Whores willing to lie down for anybody with a buck.

This is why President Trump is the greatest president we've ever had, viz. he's not a politician. He's a patriot and did the things America needed.

But the party's over. We all knew he was, at best, a temporary reprieve. We all knew that, whenever he left office, the demons would flood in to fill the vacuum.

The Democrats will appreciate your vote

We need to follow Trump’s lead and primary the Rinos and if the rino does win the primary, vote for the D

It is going to take a few election cycles

We thought Trump was the answer

Trump was only the beginning of the movement, not the whole movement.

January 20th, boycott the inauguration by turning off cellphones, notification features and televisions. An absolute freeze out to show the rejection of an illegitimate president.

Twitter and Facebook can censor at will...so can we.

Frankly, Trump was the whole movement.

Who really stood with him on Capital Hill? Crickets!

Who stood with him in the media?

Who stood with him in big tech?

Who stood with him on November 3rd, 2020?

Did we reelect him?

We couldn’t even get enough reasoned thinking people to
understand what the election was all about.

I rest my case.

Thanks Mr. President. So sorry you had such a bunch of
dumb ass citizens to overcome.

Cruz said...Millions of Americans who have peacefully expressed their deep concerns regarding election integrity deserve to have their voices heard...
What did Cruz do to ensure such a hearing? Nothing of value.

Cruz said...but I respect the position each of my colleagues took.
The positions of those colleagues were in essence to avoid or condone the obvious fraud. Such normally deserves scorn, not respect.

Cruz said...Debate in the two houses of Congress is the proper way to resolve our political differences...
A dishonest, structurally unsound election is not a matter of differing political view points; nor was the Joint Session a time for debate. Instead, it was time for rejection of illegal votes and or such steps as would lead to such rejection. Cruz folded after giving the issue token lip service.

Cruz must think more than half of the U.S. voters are idiots.
