They repeated Trump’s lies about widespread fraud as he incited supporters to violently attack Congress and democracy. Why are they still in office?
It sounds like a scene from a dystopian movie, but it was a real day in Washington, D.C.
On Wednesday, throngs of President Donald Trump’s supporters violently stormed the Capitol, incited by the president himself, with plans to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Mike Pence and others to stop them from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s win. They smashed and stole federal property. They attacked police and journalists. They sent hundreds of lawmakers into hiding. Five people died. And the death toll could have been so, so much worse.
And yet, hours later, dozens of the same lawmakers who hid during the attempted coup returned to the House and Senate floors and voted just as Trump wanted them to: to overturn the election results in his favor, based on lies about widespread voter fraud.
There will be countless investigations into what happened that day and why it was so easy for white supremacist insurrectionists to break into the Capitol and potentially carry out a massacre. Why it took so long for federal law enforcement to respond. Who these domestic terrorists are and how their plan came together.
But one of the most egregious attacks on democracy happened in plain sight and requires no investigation: It was when these 147 Republican lawmakers cast their votes.
Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) introduced a resolution on Monday to expel those who had tried to overturn the election on the grounds that they violated the 14th Amendment.
Here are the names of every Republican senator and member of Congress who voted to sustain objections to certifying the electoral results in two states where Trump lost, Arizona and Pennsylvania, despite no evidence of fraud. The full House tallies for each vote are here and here; the Senate votes are here and here.

Three of whom died of medical conditions that would have killed them wherever they were, one unarmed white woman shot by law enforcement (hey, where's OUR riots?) and the fifth undetermined.
Pelosi's Brown Shirts were the ones that set the match to this Perfect Storm.
I’m in on dumping Waltz via primary. I won’t vote for him. I doubt the local pubbies will support anyone else, so it will have to be grass roots.
If we start now we have a good shot. I’m noton FB and was booted long ago from twit. There is a local talk radio show on from 3-6 we can call into. Marc Verneir. I will today.
What is the radio station? Not on FB, quit the Twit also.
The dems are so insane, but they know they have to get Joe out of there for the communist takeover to be complete. Don’t be surprised if they kill him, then blame it on the Republicans/white nationalists/election disbelievers.

FM 93.5 and AM 1150 (i think).
"Widespread" is part of the liberal sophistry used in order to dismiss claims of fraud that could place the election in douby, for it does not take "widespread fraud" but only about fraud in a mere fraction of the 50 states. However, the case was lost despite multitude of assertions concerning such.
Writing for the Huffington Post is like writing for Dur Sturhmer during Nazi Germany. And that’s a fact, Jack!
#17. I guess you can call her Jennifer Pat Me On the Ass When I Bender-Over, Ly.
I don’t care what her sexual preference is. If she is a journalist, she is supposed to be “accurate”. Accuracy has no ideological accuracy immunity for the Left.
As Ferris Bueller said at the end of the movie, “Pat, It’s over. Go home”!
