Senators Lindsey Graham and Tom Cotton Turn Their Backs on Trump, will NOT Support Electoral Challenge

Yesterday I told you that twelve brave Senators will stand against China Mitch McConnell and his deputy John Thune and said they want a Constitutionally permitted review and debate on the election results in key battleground states before they vote to certify the 2020 election and install Harris/Biden in the White House.

Late yesterday both Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina (so glad I didn’t send him a dime as he cried in TV ads every day to send him money so he could get back to the Senate) called the effort a “political stunt,” and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas said it would “establish unwise precedents.”

It strikes me that it is the Dems who have established unwise precedents with the election process in at least five major Democrat run cities.

Here is Newsweek on Graham (who never did get to the bottom of the DOJ’s role in the Russia Hoax as he promised he would):

Lindsey Graham Attacked by Trump Supporters Online After Condemning GOP Election Challenge

Senator Lindsey Graham is facing online backlash from supporters of President Donald Trump for condemning several GOP congressional members’ efforts to challenge the certification of the Electoral College vote for President-elect Joe Biden.

A coalition of 11 Republican senators and senators-elect promised to oppose Congress in certifying the Electoral College vote this Wednesday, unless a commission is formed to audit the election results in disputed states. The group, led by Ted Cruz of Texas, said it would “reject the electors from disputed states as not ‘regularly given’ and ‘lawfully certified’… unless and until that emergency 10-day audit is completed.”

Graham, a Republican who represents South Carolina, criticized the effort as a political stunt on Sunday.

“Proposing a commission at this late date—which has zero chance of becoming reality—is not effectively fighting for President Trump,” he tweeted. “It appears to be more of a political dodge than an effective remedy.”

Needless to say, America Firsters gave Graham a piece of their mind:

“So you used MAGA to get re-elected and now do this? Disgusting,” tweeted Errol Webber, a Republican candidate for governor of California.

As for Tom Cotton, I did like the guy, but I am now done with him.

From The Hill:

Cotton breaks with conservative colleagues who will oppose electoral vote count

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a possible contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024, broke with his rivals Sunday night by announcing he will not object to the counting of electoral votes on Jan. 6.

Cotton just ended any speculation about his future as a Presidential candidate.

Cotton warned that an effort spearheaded by Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), two other 2024 White House hopefuls, to challenge the electoral votes of several swing states that went for President-elect Joe Biden could “establish unwise precedents.”

While Cotton said he is concerned about how the 2020 presidential election was carried out, such as changes to election law allowing mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day to be counted, he argued it is up to the states and the courts — not Congress — to handle election laws.

More here.

We all know that the chance of the Brave Twelve succeeding in keeping Biden from being installed in the White House are almost nil, but what the Twelve are doing is simply saying the facts need to be aired and discussed before a vote is taken and the Constitution anticipated such a situation.

And, they are providing us with a very useful list of wimps.

The pro-Biden-won team:

So to wrap up we know that China Mitch has Republican Senators Thune of SD, Murkowski of Alaska, Romney of Utah, Toomey of Pennsylvania, never-Trumper Ben Sasse of Nebraska and now Cotton of Arkansas, and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on his team to shutting the door to any more debate on the great Election Steal of 2020.

The MAGA team fighting for fair elections:

As I said yesterday, Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri will lead a team that wants answers to what happened in key states when the vote count was stopped overnight beginning on November 3rd.

Sens. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Mike Braun (Ind.), Steve Daines (Mont.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), John Kennedy (La.) and James Lankford (Okla.), as well as Sen.-elects Bill Hagerty (Tenn.), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Roger Marshall (Kan.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.).

MAGA!

So far, TWELVE US Senators Have Announced They Will Object to 2020 Presidential Election Results

Your prayers are being answered!

Frankly I didn’t think it was possible to find this many brave Senators willing to buck the Democrats and their own Republican leadership.  You might think it shouldn’t be so hard to buck Mitch McConnell in light of the glaring election steal, but these Senators (a few of them newly elected) will see that McConnell will find ways large and small to retaliate against them in the coming year(s).

For us, who believe in America and the Constitution that guides us, these twelve, so far, are the leaders of America first.

The rebels, the “faction” as Politico calls them include in addition to Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri who announced days earlier, are as follows:

The new faction of GOP lawmakers includes Sens. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Mike Braun (Ind.), Cruz (Texas), Steve Daines (Mont.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), John Kennedy (La.) and James Lankford (Okla.), as well as Sen.-elects Bill Hagerty (Tenn.), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Roger Marshall (Kan.) and Tommy Tuberville (Ala.).

If one of these is your Senator, thank him or her.

If your Senator is one of those Republicans who have already said they are with McConnell remember them!

Here The Hill tells us that Senator Mitt Romney of Utah is lashing out against Hawley, Cruz et al.

If nothing else comes out of January 6th, we are going to have a very clear idea of who is for and who is against the MAGA movement.  Mitch wanted to avoid that, but it looks like it is too late!

Romney: Plan to challenge election ‘egregious ploy’ that ‘dangerously threatens’ country

“Romney also called out Trump, who has urged his supporters to come to Washington, D.C., on January 6, warning that the strategy could “lead to disruption, and worse.” ” (what a wimp!)

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Saturday offered blistering criticism of a plan by at least 12 Republican senators to challenge the results of the election next week, warning that they “imperil” public trust.

“The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic. The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it,” Romney said in a statement.

Romney had previously told reporters Friday that objecting during Wednesday’s joint session, where Congress will formally count the Electoral College vote, would help “spread the false rumor that somehow the election was stolen.”

Romney says the courts have already decided that there was no election fraud!

“My fellow Senator Ted Cruz and the co-signers of his statement argue that rejection of electors or an election audit directed by Congress would restore trust in the election. Nonsense. … Members of Congress who would substitute their own partisan judgement for that of the courts do not enhance public trust, they imperil it,” Romney added.

[….]

Romney, the only GOP senator who voted for one of the articles of impeachment against Trump last year, is the latest GOP senator to formally weigh in after Cruz and 10 other GOP senators, or senators-elect, announced that they would support challenging the election results.

Come on Alaskans! How can you elect this _____?

Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) formally announced on Saturday that they would vote against any attempt to challenge the election results on Wednesday.

[….]

Toomey said the “evidence is overwhelming that Joe Biden won this election.”

[….]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) previously urged Republican senators to not join an effort by House conservatives to object, warning that it would only force a politically tough vote that won’t change the outcome of the election.

 

We will have a list!

By “politically tough vote” he means that the Republicans can’t win it with defectors like Toomey, Murkowski and himself who would side with the Dems, but because we, the upwards of 80 million Trump voters, will know who is willing to fight for us and who isn’t.

In addition to those I just mentioned who want Biden installed in the White House, we previously mentioned South Dakota’s John Thune.

And how on earth did you Nebraskans elect Ben Sasse, a Never Trumper from the very beginning?

 

Which side is your Republican Senator on? Where are you: Lindsey Graham? Marco Rubio? Rick Scott? Rand Paul? Mike Lee? Chuck Grassley? Susan Collins? Tom Cotton? Tim Scott? Shelley Moore Capito?

Some media outlets report that 140 or so House Members will object and when I see a list I’ll post it.

Tomorrow, Monday morning, begin calling all of your Senators and House Members  and tell them (Democrat or Republican) what you think.

Stop the Steal’s website has all of the contact information for your elected officials in Congress.

Update:  Stop the Steal calendar and updates here.

Across America Car Caravans Forming, Will Arrive in Washington on January 6th!

Update: Stop the Steal calendar and contacts here.

 

The Epoch Times has a very informative story about the car caravans organizing in the eastern half of the United States to descend on the Capitol to protest the Election Steal.

At the request of President Trump they will join hundreds of thousands who will arrive by bus, train, or plane in what I’m guessing may be the largest rally for any President ever.

From the Epoch Times:

Car Caravans Forming for ‘Historic’ Protest in Washington

Sixty-year-old Robin, a retail merchandiser in rural Virginia, hasn’t visited the nation’s capital in more than two decades or ever taken part in organizing a political event, although she was quick to volunteer to manage a stop for one of the four vehicle caravans headed to Washington for what many are calling a historic protest on Jan. 6, 2021.

In an unprecedented request, President Donald Trump asked his supporters to travel to Washington for a “big protest” on Jan. 6, when a joint session of Congress will be held, during which lawmakers will vet the Electoral College votes cast three weeks prior.

A number of House Republicans have committed to challenge the slates of electors from six states where the president has disputed the validity of the election’s outcome.

This story was written before news broke yesterday that Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri would support the President in the Senate.

But frankly, we better see Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Marsha Blackburn, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul and other REPUBLICANS standing up for us as well.

 

“Be there, will be wild!” the president wrote on Twitter on Dec. 19. A week later, he added, “See you in Washington, DC, on January 6th. Don’t miss it. Information to follow!”

A Michigan man who goes by the nickname Dr. ENoCH on Twitter is organizing the larger caravan effort, which encompasses 20 cities along four routes. He told The Epoch Times that considering the size of the two prior post-election Trump events in Washington—which the president didn’t call for or endorse ahead of time—the Jan. 6 event is on pace to become the biggest Trump rally so far.

“There are two things that Trump’s ever asked us to do. One was to vote for him and now, the other one is to be in D.C. on the 6th,” Enoch said. “That’s why I started organizing this.”

Here is info. from DR ENoCH on Twitter:

 

Continue reading because there is a lot of information in the Epoch Times story about who is organizing and where.  They may ask for your e-mail address before you can read it for free.

If you have a problem, you can get the story here.

What do you do if you can’t travel to Washington?

I know it is hard for most of you to go to Washington, DC on the spur of the moment. But you must find other avenues of activism in this last week.

Start calling all of your elected officials in Washington, your Members of the House and your Senators and tell them you believe the election was stolen. Shut down the phone lines! 

Go to Stop the Steal for contact information and what you might say to your elected officials.

Use social media even if you hate it.  Most Members of the House and Senate have Twitter and Facebook accounts.  Find them and tell them what you think.

They have local offices too, so on Wednesday, rally with as many people as you can round up in front of their local offices, even a few people will make an impact. Take pictures of your protest and post them on whatever social media you have. Get your local newspaper/TV to cover your local protest.

At minimum, watch the events unfold on January 6th on CSPAN, Newsmax, or One America News. History is being made, don’t miss it!

And, when the dust settles, vow to become engaged in supporting a powerful Patriot movement, a MAGA movement, to get rid of anyone in the Washington swamp who was complicit in the great Election Steal of 2020, or who was too chicken to speak up.

Happy New Year!
