The House’s second-ranking Republican, Rep. Steve Scalise, is refusing to say that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen.

. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, who is vying to become speaker if the GOP takes control after the 2022 midterm election, continues to defend Trump and his false assertions., Trump spent almost 30 minutes arguing falsely that he had won Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Sen. Charles E. Grassley and Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds stood by and welcomed his return to their state.

of widespread election corruption. Allegations of massive voting fraud also have been dismissed by a succession of judges and refuted by state election officials and an arm of the Homeland Security Department during the Trump administration. Scalise on Sunday appeared to be referring to the legal argument, made in several lawsuits backed by Trump before and after last November’s election, that the Constitution gives the power of election administration exclusively to state lawmakers. The suits sought to invalidate a number of pandemic-era accommodations including expanded mail voting that were put in place by governors, state election officials and judges., declining to rule on the matter.

Rep. Liz Cheney who is serving on a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, on Sunday slammed Scalise for spreading Trump’s “Big Lie.” “Millions of Americans have been sold a fraud that the election was stolen,” Cheney tweeted. “Republicans have a duty to tell the American people that this is not true. Perpetuating the Big Lie is an attack on the core of our constitutional republic.”

Does he really have a brain?!

And when he loses at chess, he brushes the pieces to the floor and breaks the chessboard on his knee and the knee itself.

God please purge the psychos Lord hear my prayer Amen

kenjeong Another GQP ARSE

kenjeong That’s because the GOP has become a cult.

Coward!

Shouldn't we be getting rid of delusional law makers after all this time? How can they legislate if they have these mental problems? At least check them out for schizophrenia! Paranoia should be dangerous to the union as mentally ill folks are planning for our future while I'll?

He should be arrested for insurrection. Insurrection should really be part of the headline.

Lukewarm headline when raging inferno was called for. Plus, writing rule 84: Say what IS, not what is not.

This Steve? GOPLeader: “There are two people I think that Putin pays. Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God.” SpeakerRyan: “This is an off the record. No leaks, alright. That’s how we know we’re a real family here.” SteveScalise: “That’s how we know we’re tight.”

The same guy who got shot didn't have the guts to vote against guns.

You need a better headline.

Scalise refuses to say something? Smart, thoughtful headline 🤡🤡

What a joke!!!!!!!!

ReflectingMan ok? why do you need to make a story of it?

Media are focusing on the wrong thing. It’s irrelevant whether he thinks it was stolen. Scalise focused on a different & worse lie - that states didn’t follow their own laws, says it’s “unconstitutional” and uses this as a predicate to dramatically change state election laws.

SteveScalise - Zero days without embarrassing intelligent people in his district. Sadly, there are few of those.

remember when he got shot in the balls and every democrat in Washington fell all over themselves yelling about what a Great Man he was? lol what clowns

The bottom line is this, not judicially holding Trump accountable 4 Alllllll they have on him continues 2 empower his cult while deflating the hope & courage of Americans who love this country, it's democracy 4 all & full Constitution. No indictment is seen as WEAK, globally.

They have bought the tortured lie of the devil Trump

DSA, the divided states of America

The third arm suits him.

Hmmmm

Scalise must step down. You can’t have members of a government claim it’s illegitimate. Its criminal to say the least.

If those who exist because of a Democracy aren’t willing to believe in that Democracy then they are not part of that Democracy and should be removed from it

Ass

Remember when they paused the counting of the vote and when they resumed Joe was ahead? One of many instances. Demand no cheating in 2022.

He’s right. States broke constitutional law

Everyone keepin track of the bullshit excuses for trump's incitement of insurrection we've been fed so far? BLM did it Antifa did it Dems did it FBI did it Capitol police did it It took place during the transition so no foul All Americans are to blame Media hoax It never happened

that's because it was stolen. the corrupt establishment stole the primaries from bernie and then the election from trump. bernie and trump were filling stadiums, while biden couldn't fill a high school gym. StolenElection

FFS

It is really strange that 'do you think Biden won' has become a 'loaded question!'
