'We believe that President Trump's refusal to concede the election and allow for an orderly transition constitutes a serious threat to America's democratic process and to our national security,' the group wrote.

"We believe that President Trump's refusal to concede the election and allow for an orderly transition constitutes a serious threat to America's democratic process and to our national security. We therefore call on Republican leaders -- especially those in Congress -- to publicly demand that President Trump cease his anti-democratic assault on the integrity of the presidential election," the group wrote Monday.

The plea for a smooth transition comes as Trump has yet to concede the general election, and the General Services Administration has yet to formally recognize Biden's victory, therefore blocking funds for a smooth transition of power.

We don't want Trump to leave office with the security codes for bombs he's a communist, that's why it's such a threat that he doesn't concede.

Loser👮‍♀️

I hope he doesn’t concede at all and stays even if he can’t prove fraud or we are all doomed! NO COMMUNISM! Investigate Joe and hunter Biden! Ho can a criminal run for President?

AnneRiceAuthor CNN they need to shut your fake news down. Ya'll have lied about our President from day one. Biden can get away with everything. You know he will get his. It's called KARMA!

How can someone who is supposed to be for the people let a virus decimate his country where the rest of the world looks on in disbelief at his child like status since loosing the election When this is all over sadly some will be remembered for what they didn’t do!

Must the man come out openly to say ' I Trump Concede' ?

He said to start the transition stupid

CNN will soon fail and be long gone :)

He needs an Intervention

The only way we can reform the Republican party if Trump goes to jail.This party supports racism,murderers,and have basically become Trump wannabes.Trump cannot pardon himself from state matters like in New York or rape.This has to end with him in prison

Really !?! What about Al Gore ?He couldn't even win his own home state of Tennessee - which would have never involved Florida & lasted longer than now !!!

To say the least

Congress needs to pass laws to prevent this type of administration behavior from happening again.

He dose not care about America he only care about himself

Somebody got a new barber

Always a crook...

realDonaldTrump

It's time to remove 'Republic' from the Republican party ... There are Republicans waiting in the wings, waiting for their turn to dismantle democracy. The USA democracy is watching, and so is the rest of the world.

F trump he is going to prison soon

You're on twitter and we ain't following each other, o wrong now, common. Let's grow together. Ifb ASAP ❤️❤️just try me🙏🙏

Scum just doesn’t go away on it’s on, it’s a stain!

Fake news

I believe that all the voter fraud constitutes the biggest threat to our electoral processes. Bty, we live in a constitutional republic not a democracy

Biden and his mass immigration midwits are a greater threat to national security. He's not even the president elect yet. Gfy, rinos.

I'm sadend Mr. Trump.for your refusal to consede...I hate the thought of thinking less of someone..but you've broken some people's hearts and you continue to show the world just how hateful people can be. I pray for you and everytime someone passes of covid I will pray for you🙏

This is called a fake news psuedo event.

Nobody cares what those idiots say

Look at his daily presidential schedule below 👇🏼👇🏼 yup looks like he really gives a shit about the American people 🤦🏻‍♂️

No one cares what you think

He has Africa president blood on him.. although he is America but his blood and brain is made in Africa.. watch Idi Amin of Uganda interview you will understand..

Invoke the 25th

Check the money each department is supposed to have. I bet it won't be right. Donnie boy is scared for a reason.

Trump is such a failure he can't even lose correctly.

They are weak. The truth will prevail. They are scared. They are part of the crime. Republican or not, doesn’t matter.

He need to be removed now we can't wait until January 20,2021

You believe it ,you tweet it, you complain about it FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! People are dying, this is unconstitutional! GOP TheDemocrats time for we the people to do congresses job again I guess! Seriously remembering everyone who does nothing😡😡

He thinks he’s Ronald Reagan, which in itself should be a huge red flag for America. I really believe he is seriously weighing the usage of the military & law enforcement to pull off a coup d’etat. Guilani is an evil, demented ass that I wish the Towers had crushed!

He has court cases pending, why would he concede? Also the election has not been certified so to call Biden president-elect is wrong at this point. Also there is no office of the president-elect so he’s also an idiot

He's not much of threat if he's straitjacketed and committed where he won't have access to anything physical except for what's stored in his tiny mind.

Fake Election Voter Fraud Dominion voting systems

It is his right Not to concede. Suck on that russia hoax dems

Fuck CNN!

It's treasonous! Lock him up!

CNN y’all don’t even know how to think. Y’all equal the National Enquirer. I would trust their articles be gore YALL.

Absolutely

The end of TERROR...01/21/2021...🤮

Idiots

Why are Republican senators telling Trump to concede on any network instead of to his face? They’re irritating af!

Save it for when the election is officially over.

I am not losing faith in the Democratic process just Republicans!!

The Conservative Republicans in the US say knock it off trnp. You have no way to turn this election results to you’re favor. You’re man with the twinkle defense needs to stand down.

So many folks saying this but yet no one is doing anything about it!! I don't get it.

Trump is attempting to commit a Coup d’Etat. He should be arrested and put on trial.

Trump will have ruined the GOP (republicans) for years to come. No one will trust them as they are a bunch of yes men, gutless and weak.

A little premature since the media doesn't declare who was elected president since it hasn't yet been determined.

UROCKlive1 Threats to our democracy. 1 Trump 2 Silent Republican Leaders 3 Fringe News-OAN/Breitbart 4 Trump Supporters 5 White Terrorist Groups- Sad Boys

UROCKlive1 Trump & his WH people are buying time for the new people they brought in(undercover digital forensics experts), to get rid of ALL possible digital evidence while others focus on leaving behind fake or bait materials designed to gum up the Biden administration's efforts.

minorities will wake up soon because information is out there and it's fact if only we can show the minorities the truth.

Shut up. He will concede when all certified

Hillary said dont concede under any circumstances. Dems didn't accept Trumps win for 4 years. Biden said he won't declare himself the winner unless all votes were counted and certified. Its not done yet. Everyone under the sun knows there are irregularities and fraud. Kraken

It's only a national security risk because Bankrupt companies like CNN is stiring up racism and lies to incite anger among minorities to act violently in order to fight the Elites' battle for them.

“An threat to National Security.” I feel like I’ve heard this one before.

CNN is pushing a corrupt election that they are a part of and should be held complicit too. This is democracy per the Constitution which we know you don’t support!

It’s definitely a threat to our democracy and I cannot believe he hasn’t been taken to a mental facility yet😱 As America became poor and sick, he just keeps golfing. Don’t talk to me about values... ahem.. GOP

I see the fat ladyIs gargling with Vinegar and honey. chubby boy it’s almost over the finale is getting very close

Trump is insane what. Else is doing? How safe are we with him in the Whitehouse?

No!! Your cheat has caused the threat!

Says the Communist National Network

He must go because he is a big liar together with his Team of Racists

We don't care what fakeneescnn and be other fakenews believes 😒

The real danger is if the fraud is unravelled....will the naysayers believe it and apologize?

The major threat to democracy is not allowing someone their constitutional rights under the law! If so sure election not fraudulent why the massive push by the left?

Look at that fuck. Trump worst President in US history. And close to half the country voted for him. Nixon/Watergate. Reagan/Contras & Sandinistas. Bush/ 9/11 & 2008 Depresdion. Now Trump/Everything & TrumpVirus . Republicans don’t elect well!!! itdidnthavetobelikethis

Al Gore took 37 days, so Trump still has 17 days left.

OK, so what is the group planning to do to set things on the correct course? GetOverItTrumpLost

Exclusive: Dozens of former Republican officials in talks to form anti-Trump third partyDozens of former Republican officials, who view the party as unwilling to stand up to former President Donald Trump and his attempts to undermine U.S. democracy, are in talks to form a center-right breakaway party, four people involved in the discussions told Reuters. The early stage discussions include former elected Republicans, former officials in the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Trump, ex-Republican ambassadors and Republican strategists, the people involved say. More than 120 of them held a Zoom call last Friday to discuss the breakaway group, which would run on a platform of 'principled conservatism,' including adherence to the Constitution and the rule of law - ideas those involved say have been trashed by Trump. Reuters The GOP... Reuters I don't care if the anti-Trump people or the pro-Trump people break off. Just so the Republican Party is split and never, ever wins an election again. Reuters I seriously DOUBT that. R's don't divide and conquer themselves & now know the value of power & strength in number. R's know how far T'S sheep will go to keep that power and deputize them as Capitol police. Step foot on the capitol in 2024 and they and the NG will mow you down.
