The 147 Republicans Who Voted To Overturn Election Results
By Karen Yourish, Larry Buchanan and Denise LuUpdated January 7, 2021
When a mob of President Trumps supporters stormed the Capitol building on Wednesday, they forced an emergency recess in the Congressional proceedings to officially certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. The disruption came shortly after some Republican lawmakers made the first of a planned series of highly unusual objections, based on spurious allegations of widespread voter fraud, to states election results. The chambers were separately debating an objection to Arizonas results when proceedings were halted and the Capitol was locked down.
When the Senate reconvened at 8 p.m., and the House of Representatives an hour later, the proceedings including the objection debates continued, although some lawmakers who had previously planned to vote with the objectors stood down following the occupation of the Capitol. Plans to challenge a number of states after Arizona were scrapped, as well but one other objection, to Pennsylvanias results, also advanced to a vote. Here are the eight senators and 139 representatives who voted to sustain one or both objections.

(4,107 posts)Stellar character, is Rep. David Schweikert. Per Wikipedia: "In 2018, the United States House Committee on Ethics launched an investigation into Schweikert and his chief of staff, Oliver Schwab, over misuse of funds.[1] On July 30, 2020, Schweikert admitted to 11 violation counts and agreed to an official reprimand by the House as well as a $50,000 fine."

(5,969 posts)overall seem to be saner. Hawley and Cruz are deplorable aholes but they are still not as batshit crazy as the Gaetz type ghouls in the House. Around 20% in the Senate but almost 75% in the House including their leader are traitors.

(16,780 posts)His shame will be exposed in my letters to the Editor of my paper.
I suggest to my DU family be submitting to your online local papers, letters based on FACTS of your Reps and Senators loyalty to Trump, their support of sedition, Treason committed by Trump.
Remember their names, spread their shame.
