Dems Call Hawley’s Election Concerns ‘Coup Attempt’ After Objecting To Every GOP Certification This Century
December 31, 2020 By Jordan Davidson
Democrats are condemning Republican Sen. Josh Hawley for objecting to certifying the 2020 election results, even though they are guilty of doing the same thing for purely political reasons.
On Wednesday, Hawley announced he will object during the Electoral College certification process on Jan. 6, unless an election integrity and voter fraud investigation is called.
“I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on January 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws,†Hawley said, noting that some Democrats objected to the elections in 2004 and 2016.
“And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden,†he added. “At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act.â€
Hawley’s announcement was met with harsh backlash from politicians, journalists, and others on the left.
“This is how you run for President on the Republican side in 2024. You join a coup attempt,†Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota said.
