Politico senior editor Michael Schaffer argued in his latest column that GOP lawmakers' votes to 'overturn' the 2020 election should be included in their obituaries.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo weighs in on Democrats’ hypocritical pretensions toward democracy on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’Politico senior editor Michael Schaffer complained that somein"the 20 months since the Capitol insurrection" did not have their votes to"overturn" the 2020 election mentioned in their obituaries.

"On January 6th, 2021, she voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election," Schaffer revealed. The author acknowledged that obituaries in general"are an imperfect form, especially when they have to double as breaking stories of a public figure’s unexpected demise." Though,"they are as close as we get to a rough draft of biography, an approximation of what contemporaries think are the key parts of the dearly departed’s permanent record," he added.reveals"a Washington culture deeply uncertain about election denial and its legacy.

Schaffer called these omissions"strange" considering the gravity of such votes. He explained,"The last few years have featured no shortage of assertions in the media that the preservation of democracy ought to be the profession’s highest calling. The vote on whether or not to certify the election was a seminal one, a moment to pick sides."

The author trotted out a counterpoint or two, stating,"Part of what’s going on here is our society-wide taboo against speaking ill of the dead and a major-media taboo against appearing biased. The deaths of all three members of Congress were greeted with genuine sorrow … Why muck it up by mentioning something controversial?" he wondered.

They want to be remembered for attempting to overthrow an election, and if successful, our 246 yo experiment in democracy would be over. No one would vote again, if the results can easily be overturned by those in power. “Voter Fraud” when you lose does the same thing but slower.

There was no vote to overturn the election but it is the duty of an elector to reject fraud .

Fuck Politico

Nothing like Democrats digging up the dead for votes. .

Wonder what they will say in November when the right wins back the house and senate. Probably riot’s all over

Wonder whatever happened to Jeffrey Epstein's client list. Does anyone know if they released it?

This is silly. We already know who voted to overthrow democracy. It's a matter of public record, and always will be. That's the only epitaph these traitors need.

violating the 14th amendment seems worthy of obituary mentions

This is ridiculous!!! Get a fucking life!!!

Every single politician who assisted Trump with his seditious conspiracy and asked for pardons later, knowing what they did was a federal crime should be expelled from congress using the 14th amendment.

Politico senior editor 'Demands' 🤣😂😅 Good luck with that Schaffer!! .

Sounds reasonable

Make sure the same is done for Democrats.
