Earlier this week, the Electoral College voted to certify the election results for President-elect Joe Biden. Mission accomplished!
But before the Electoral College met, 126 Republican members of Congress joined Donald Trump’s lawsuit to throw out the election results in four battleground states and swing the election to Trump.
As Democratic Congressman Bill Pascrell pointed out in his letter to Pelosi, the 14th Amendment bars anyone who participates in rebellion or insurrection from serving in elected office. And Congresswoman Ilhan Omar agrees:
We can’t allow this attempt to overturn a democratic election go unchecked. These members are unfit to serve, and they must be held accountable:
Thank you for adding your voice to this fight. While we have defeated Donald Trump, we have our work cut out for us to fight Trumpism in all its forms. We can start by holding those who have tried to overturn a democratic election accountable for their actions.
