GOP Congressman Lance Gooden Urges Texas Senators to Challenge Electoral College Vote on Jan. 6

A GOP member of Congress again pushed both Texas senators to object during the counting of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6.

“I’m Lance Gooden. I am proud to be the U.S. Congressman for Texas’ 5th Congressional District,” wrote Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) on Saturday. “I am also proud to stand with @realDonaldTrump by OBJECTING on January 6th. I call on every fellow member of Congress to do the same. RT!”

In a follow-up tweet, Gooden called on Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) to join him in objecting to the vote-counting of certain key states’ electors.

“We have an obligation to fight for the millions of Texans who have been disenfranchised by the CORRUPT Democrat counties in AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, & WI,” he wrote to the two Texas senators, referring to counties in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, respectively. “Join me in OBJECTING on January 6th. Fight!” he wrote.

Cruz has not made a comment on the matter, but Cornyn made strong suggestions that he wouldn’t join the effort.

“It’s basically going through the motions,” Cornyn told reporters last week. “It’s a futile exercise.”

Since the Nov. 3 election, President Donald Trump and his attorneys have said that the election was stolen from him via voter fraud and irregularities. They first attempted to challenge the results and voting procedures in various state and federal courts before they lobbied state legislatures to approve Republican slates of electors.

A handful of House members have said they would object in an effort led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). Senator-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) hinted that he would join Brooks, and later, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) publicly said he was not ruling it out, either.

The bid to challenge a state’s electors during the Joint Session of Congress requires one member of the House and one member of the Senate, which then triggers a complex series of debates and votes.

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) said GOP leaders in the Senate will try to quash the effort.

One is a full fledged member of the Uniparty and the other is a fraud.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

The Bible says this about deacons: “And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless” (1 Timothy 3:10).

How much truer is it that we first prove the folks that we send to Washington D.C. to represent us?

"The Steal" in this 2020 Presidential election-fraud year would have been impossible without the 24/7/365 censorship of the Republican/Trump message and the 24/7/365 promotion of the Democrat/CCP/Soros/Biden message by the fake-news MSM & Big Tech/social media companies. Why? Because without the anti-American activities by the fake-news MSM & Big Tech/social media, the Republican/Trump message actually would have gotten through to the American people and the world. Instead, the vast majority of Americans and the world has literally no clue that Trump and Republican attorneys are seriously challenging the election "outcome." Thus the vast majority of Americans and the world naturally assume Kamala will be inaugurated on January 20 (oh and biden too).

So, if the Republicans/Trump somehow manage to overturn the election "outcome" (as currently understood by the vast majority of Americans and the world) on January 6, well, you can only imagine what will happen next. OTOH, if Congress certifies Kamala's Electoral College "victory" (oh and biden too) on January 6, that will begin the process of Communizing the U.S. The speed of that Communization will obviously be impacted by the "outcome" of the two Georgia Senate seat run-offs on January 5. Then there's the concern about how many days or weeks, after that January 5 so-called "election day," it will take Georgia to "count" all the mail-in Biden ballot dumps at 4AM (without Republican monitors or observers).

This is all working out exactly as planned by the Communist China Party leaders and George Soros. No matter the "outcome" on January 6 in Congress, the CCP leaders and Soros win. Gotta hand it to Soros & the CCP leaders -- they truly are master game-planners. I haven't really had the time to think through how to rectify this situation, so I leave that to others for solutions. I'm only stating the current status of the predicament.

“Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) said GOP leaders in the Senate will try to quash the effort.”

Republicans will keep reelecting people like John Thune because he’s the lesser of two evils (LOTE). These are the people who are destroying our nation.

2016: Thune won the general with 71.8% of the vote.

2010: Thune won the genereal with 100% of the vote (unopposed).

Senate Republican Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) said GOP leaders in the Senate will try to quash the effort.

what Thune would really like to say to us:
"Move along now, people! You're causing a whole lot of trouble and there could be riots and mayhem because of your stupid little obsession with liberty and the Constitution! Just stop it!!! Grow up! This is not the country of your forefathers. Get over it already!!"

The Democrats could not be getting away with this without the cooperation of Republicans.

The Big Steal is BIPARTISAN!

GA Gov, GA Lt Gov, GA SOS, GA Election Manager, ALL Republican

Maricopa County AZ, 4 Republicans, 1 Democrat

ALL of them hiding the fraud.

For Cruz, if he doesn’t back Trump, its over for him, and I’d bet 50-50 chance depending on his “severance package”. Cornhole is TURDle’s butt boy, 0 chance.

Cornyn made strong suggestions that he wouldn’t join the effort

Of course he won't, and I doubt if Cruz will either, because he is a weak person who stills dreams that he will someday become the savior of conservatives.

RE: I doubt if Cruz will either, because he is a weak person who stills dreams that he will someday become the savior of conservatives.

Then why did Cruz volunteer to help litigate Trump’s case before the SCOTUS?

Totally agree. The vast majority of American politicians, regardless of party affiliation, are not very bright and are only looking out for themselves. As long as they receive huge payoffs from the CCP and puppet-master George S., they're perfectly happy. The actual form of U.S. government, be it constitutional democratic republic, or Marxism/Communism, or authoritarian socialism, is totally irrelevant to them because they think they'll do just as well under any of those government structures.

[Robert DeLong]

So why is Cruz remaining silent?

To answer your question, perhaps Cruz knew that SCOTUS would reject the case. So he was hiding under cover of knowledge, so as to not alienate the base he will need when he runs for the presidency.

“Cornyn made strong suggestions that he wouldn't join the effort”

Houston talk show guy Michael Berry labeled him “John Wayne” Cornyn back during the 2014 Republican primary. So true - - a self proclaimed Real Texan and American when running in the primary, but once in Washington DC, he is a slimy corrupt power grubbing lying RINO swamp creature!

“Cruz has not made a comment on the matter, but Cornyn made strong suggestions that he wouldn’t join the effort“

This could answer Lou Dobbs obnoxious, yelling question to the always Trump-loyal Stephen Miller.

[Deplorable American1776]

If Cruz won’t back Trump, Trump supporting Americans will tell him to F off... His president bid will go up in FLAMES...

[Theodore R.]

Why is Cruz refusing to challenge the electors?

[doc maverick]

I think quite a few know the election was unconstitutional and needs to be done over in person on paper ballots.
