Third-ranking Senate Democrat calls on Hawley, Cruz to resign after Capitol attack
By Alexander Bolton - 01/08/21 02:20 PM EST

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the third-ranking member of the Senate Democratic leadership, on Friday called on Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to resign after they supported objections to the Electoral College votes of Arizona and Pennsylvania for President-elect Joe Biden.

Murray accused her colleagues of undermining the democratic process and supporting “the power of force over the power of democracy” by attempting to throw out electoral votes for Biden after state officials and courts found there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in either state.

“At the end of the day, our job is to keep this country a democracy where voices win, not brute force. Any senator who stands up and supports the power of force over the power of democracy has broken their oath of office. Senators Hawley and Cruz should resign,” Murray said in a statement.


"There can be no normalizing or looking away from what played out before our eyes this week," Murray continued.

“At the end of the day, our job is to keep this country a democracy where voices win...,” Murray said in a statement.

And with that, she just disqualified herself. We are NOT a democracy.

Does this lady understand the irony of her statement?
