Time
for a recap for those in congress with a short memory
On January 6, 2021,
the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., was stormed during
a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress.
Well Duh!
I might add All of
the Congress if not why not?
So
if any of congress did not show, why are
they representing you?

That Attacked Capitol Was Provoked By the President, Senator McConnell Says |

Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell also made a
compelling case against overruling the results of the presidential election.
“President Trump claims the election was stolen. … Nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale that
would’ve tipped the entire election. Nor
can public doubt alone justify a radical break when the doubt itself was
incited without any evidence,”
he said during the joint session.
“The voters, the
court, and the states have all spoken,” McConnell continued. “They’ve all spoken. If we overrule them, it would damage our republic forever. This election was not unusually close.
Just in recent history, 1976, 2000, and 2004 were all closer than this one. The Electoral College margin is almost
identical to what it was in 2016. If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral.”
The
presidential election was decided over a month ago, with Biden winning the Electoral College majority at 306 votes to Donald Trump’s 232. President Trump has
since been on a crusade to discredit the process, whipping up doubt and fear in his followers with debunked conspiracy
theories and claims that the
election was “rigged’ and “stolen.” He has demanded
ballot recounts in states that he lost, filed dozens of
unsuccessful lawsuits, attacked the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Department
of Justice for not supporting his
claims, and attempted to leverage
the power of his office to pressure election officials.
