The 2020 election was fair
Fair election, unfair politicians
The list of Republican representatives which played a part on trying to throw the election for Trump grows. Calls are mounting for U.S. Rep. Scott Perry to resign after a report late Saturday exposed his "significant role" in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Perry, a Republican from York County, connected President Donald Trump with a Justice Department official to try to remove the acting U.S. attorney general from his post and pressure Georgia lawmakers to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential contest. It was Perry, according to the report, who made Trump aware that Jeffrey Clark, "a relatively obscure Justice Department official" and acting chief of the civil division, supported the former president's view that the election had been stolen. Trump considered firing acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, who was named to the position after Attorney General Bill Barr resigned. Trump was angry because Barr and Rosen did not support Trump's claims that the election was fraudulent or stolen. But in Clark, Trump had an ally in the Justice Department. The president would likely have been unaware of Clark if not for Perry, according to reports. Perry worked with Clark to craft a plan to pressure Georgia leaders, the report said, citing unnamed former administration officials. As the date for Congress to affirm Biden’s victory neared, Perry and Clark discussed a plan to have the Justice Department send a letter to Georgia state lawmakers informing them of an investigation into voter fraud that could invalidate the state’s Electoral College results. Former officials who were briefed on the plan said that the department’s dozens of voter fraud investigations nationwide had not turned up enough instances of fraud to alter the outcome of the election. Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said in a tweet: "Representative Perry ought to familiarize himself with Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of our Constitution. There must be consequences for this conduct. Perry was one of Trump's first supporters during the 2016 election and was instrumental in spreading the former president's claims that the 2020 election was stolen. The congressman represents Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district, which includes the state capital, Harrisburg, and all of Dauphin County and parts of Cumberland and York counties. He is a retired Pennsylvania Army National Guard brigadier general after serving for nearly 40 years and multiple deployments, including for combat in Iraq. After the pro-Trump mob attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Perry led a House floor objection to Pennsylvania's election results. In my opinion, he is a human coprophage, and needs to go. He supports domestic terrorists and the rule of law. What the heck is wrong with these people, The Trump campaign filed more than 60 lawsuits over the 2020 presidential election. Conservative and liberal judges alike either dismissed or ruled against the Trump campaign in all of them, often noting that the campaign failed to prove or provide evidence of widespread fraud. Yet they continue to propagate lies and incite others. These people need to be removed from their seats. We cannot tolerate the continence of Trumps lies and the assault on the Republic. There is a difference in free speech and the ability to argue and debate policy. And there is a difference in elected officials deliberately trying to overturn a free and fair election. What Trump did was a direct attack on the republic and the democracy. Trump wanted to remain president for the rest of his life. In other countries we would call that a dictator and we would speak out against that action. And that is what we need to do now is to continue to speak out against trump, and hold thse people all the people accountable which acted on his words and tried to do a coup against the republic.
