Riggleman called GOP refusal to concede the election a ‘massive grift’ and ‘completely unethical,’ and said he would be open to a Biden administration job.

Biden’s transition into government, stating “she should’ve done this well before she did it” and chalking the delay up to “fear of losing your tribe,” adding, “I’m so damn sick of it. I’m sick of it.”

Riggleman was even harsher toward colleagues who are “true believers” of Trump’s unfounded claims of widespread election fraud, asserting it “really speaks to where your intelligence level is… to believe in that type of operation.”his primary by a socially conservative challenger earlier this year after he was criticized for officiating a gay wedding, said he had been “sorely mistaken” for believing the GOP was the “live-and-let-live” party, stating, “I’m just not for dictating how people live.

On Trump, Riggleman spoke with surprising candor for a Republican official, calling the president “irresponsible” for “embracing theories and groups that are dehumanizing and have an anti-Semitic base” and “groups that are just anti-American,” specifically pointing to his“He got so desperate to retain power that he forgot he was serving people and not himself,” Riggleman said of Trump, claiming he has “never served anything but himself, when you talk about his businesses and what he’s done.

Though he said he disagrees with Biden on issues like taxes and the economy, Riggleman called the president-elect “a steady hand” whose appointees can “ensure this country stays on a relatively stable path.” Riggleman said he would be open to serving in the Biden administration but “it would have to be something where I’m serving this country and not sort of a token position,” specifically citing defense, counter-terrorism and treasury based on his background.Riggleman expressed confidence that bipartisanship can flourish in the Biden era, noting that Americans appear to have elected a divided government: “I think we’re gonna have to get some things done for the American people.

Was he sick of the Russian Collusion scam and impeachment distraction?

AndrewSolender They should all be sick of it. This is doing great harm to the credibility of their party. Trump will be gone and they will all just look like damned fools and crooks.

Trump needs to provide proof of election fraud once & for all! All he does is TweetandRetreat He’s out golfing instead of acting like a leader to the demise of our democracy WherestheProof

realDonaldTrump not in charge in ‘16, it’s rigged (he rigged it) and wins , 2020 he is in charge (closer 👁 on his shenanigans), he loses and it’s rigged , took him 12 days to come up with a reason, cat is a joker

Thank you for your courage. It needed to be said...

SenJoniErnst ChuckGrassley where are you? Call out the bogus liar realDonaldTrump DiaperDon

He's been pretty silent til now though. Im good. Get a pubsec job and keep it moving.

As soon as 45TheImpeached finishes up on the back nine, he'll send a tweet labeling him as a 'weak RINO.'

Good man

We too are sick of it. Sick of Trump and sick of the Republicans who are cowering in the corner. Who is afraid of tiny Donald?

They know the difference between right and wrong. If you know there was voter fraud why don’t they show the evidence in courts. We voted and now this president is attacking democracy for his own benefit, what other conclusion can we make.

Spineless cowards!

Notice this guys never been in the news before, nobody ever asked his opinion on anything? And now, suddenly, he is. Seems like a strong motive.

Well, damn! A Republican with some brains and balls, willing to criticize Trump and his enablers. Didn’t know those existed anymore.

This is honestly refreshing to see. Proof that you can be conservative and not have your head up your butt (or more aptly, someone else's).

Conservatives should feel how this guy feels. Donald Trump and his cronies are not conservative, and they certainly are not patriotic.

Rep unloaded but he's not talking about the minority. He's speaking of the majority which appeal to Trumpism.

He also didn't say how he was going to actually push back against them.' Yamiche How many people on the Democrat side or any side for that matter, I just found out about it several weeks ago because I researched it myself, are aware that Kaepernick was adopted by two 'terrible' white people? Yamiche Neither have congressional democrats presented Biden any substantive legislation 'pushing back' on Jim Crow reborn, or yet seen fit to denounce their republican colleagues as traitors to our country many times over since 2016. The man is POTUS, not a magician. 'Sick' is a start..
