President Trump's voter fraud lies encouraged a riot. Some GOP allies are still giving them oxygen.

and his allies to vouch for the integrity of the results, with some fact-checking the president in public and private to try and counter misinformation.

"It was really after the Florida recount that people realized things were really narrowly divided and that you could win or lose based on restricting turnout and the vote or bolstering turnout and the vote. Very quickly you started to hear Republicans making increasingly insistent claims of voter fraud," Waldman said.

By the time Trump took office, voter fraud was a common belief among Republicans. A majority of Republicans said in August 2016 that voter fraud was a"major problem," according to a"No matter how powerful his bully pulpit, he wouldn't have a fertile — he wouldn't have a willing audience if this had not been repeated so many times over the years in a more polite voice," Waldman said.

Even after the deadly riots Wednesday, Republican lawmakers are still advancing falsehoods about American elections.she couldn’t “in good conscience” object to the certificationBut she nonetheless cast doubt on those results: “I believe that there were last-minute changes to the November 2020 election process and serious irregularities that resulted in too many Americans losing confidence not only in the integrity of our elections but in the power of the ballot as a tool of democracy.”.

They should all Resign!!

How in the name of everything holy are they not held accountable? I mean this is appalling behavior from GOP. They MUST face consequences no matter what happens. If not why the heck is democracy the pillar of any respectable republic. HoldGOPAccountable HoldTrumpAccountable

The walk of shame

Voting fraud has always lived in the Democratic Party.

The Republicans who played a group Nanny to the President should be made accountable!!! They know what is going on, but because of their selfish ambitions they made things worsts! There is no restoration until they own this ‘LIE’.

You encourage division of the people? Why don’t you look into Italy?

Easy solution really, every senator that doesn't respect the electoral process that put them into their positions in the first place should resign immediately. Afterall if they don't trust the system that gave them their jobs in the first place, they shouldn't be in those jobs..!

Disbar SenTedCruz HawleyMO

Proves?

Biden stated before the election on TV, he was planning on participating in voter fraud. That fanned much of the flame. Then some said no there’s no voter fraud, when there was some. U c all the confusion coming from news sources individuals& everywhere u turn in the land.

President Biden is disqualified.

Sorry why the dems soscared pelisi is like a frightened rat biden staying in hiding

Disgusting

Absolutely not that was frustration at play

Their oath is expired. Refuse the seat them.

Mainstream news media are not the jury, you can’t say if was a lie.and you can’t say it encouraged riots, you lie. The riots were caused by and instigated anti-Trump criminals not rally people. Report facts. FakeNews RepealSection230

Trumpers need to be rounded up and eliminated

NBC DISGUSTS ME.

This is true. I created an account on Parler to see it for myself. Gobsmacked at the behavior of the Fox team and Senators like Nunes and Cruz there. Many house reps also still being seditious!

These are anti constitutionalists. Unfit to be in government.

That was a coup attempt. You are still giving lies oxygen by minimizing and denying the evidence by calling it only a riot.

how do you prove it is a lie? does media decide what is a lie now? media and big tech are the new tyranny! this is 1984. nobody will end well

Well, some of them don't want to alienate the Q-loving, America-hating Trump cultists.

SenTedCruz and HawleyMO must resign to be able to start the healing of becoming 1 again.

WakeUpAmerica

Remember the Treasonous 12.

Remove them from office.

That's why they all need to be removed! Especially Ted Cruz

Great censorship. Way to perpetuate lies and division.

From Australia. I cannot get my head around what’s happening in your beautiful Country,it’s beyond words.Any LEGACY TRUMP had is FUCKED,the MONEY is turning on him like the rest of the USA.HE IS UNHINGED, CERTIFIABLE,and GUILTY of TREASON, how did one EVIL MAN DO THIS IN 2020

If they didn’t cheat why were they so unwilling to do the recount and reassure the American people it was all good? If Biden wants unity that would have been a very easy way to begin!

Well they shouldn't!

Am really grateful to God almighty for bringing a good account manager like Chris into the yard of bitcoin trading I never thought i can earn with bitcoin trading everything should have a trial according to their seeing Once again thanks alot Mr chris_grey2 for an expert work

From Australia. I cannot get my head around what’s happening in your beautiful Country,it’s beyond words.Any LEGACY TRUMP had is FUCKED,the MONEY is turning on him like the rest of the USA.HE IS UNHINGED, CERTIFIABLE,and GUILTY of TREASON, how did one EVIL MAN DO THIS IN 2020

Hahaha...Biden's voters are a reality...

Is this what you call news...

No, I can safely say, that Dem cheating caused Antifa insurgents to create a FF.

2022 is just around the corner. Vote EVERY Republican out!

Every republican in the senate supported the lies trump has told since in office. Every Senate Republicon bears some of the responsibility for the attack on the Capitol. (Except McCain and Romney)

This tweet, itself, is a lie.

Those two change tracks so much it's hard to know what they really think. Anyone who keeps them in office is a loser and a sucker, but apparently they seem to already know that as it seems to have worked out for them.

明白人不多

Every one of them should be removed from office.

What choice do they have? Trump turns his followers into 1-trick ponies. They have nothing to fall back on after already sacrificing their sanity

Cruz and howley are just too ambitous fellow ready to gamble anything just to be president of the US. SAD!!!🥶🥶🥶

They aren’t lies, ironically the lies are that there was no fraud. You, along with the other dishonest MSM are telling us there’s no fraud, which should make all of us automatically know that there is fraud. You manipulate and lie, and people don’t trust you.

Josh 'Hee Haw' Hawley and Ted 'Coup' Cruz both need to resign and apologize immediately. They have disgraced their office and violated their oaths.

SECESSION! IT'S TIME FOR SOME STATES TO SECEDED FROM THE UNION. THERE'S NO INTEGRITY/ACCOUNTABILITY IN OUR ELECTIONAL PROCESS. WAKE UP AMERICANS

Ya know, you could have just validated the voted though an audit and independent investigations to put the claims to rest. Instead it now looks like more work was put into covering up fraud.

Insurrection

Pandering to the Trump base is the operational pursuit of the day. This base will dissipate over time as will individuals dependent on it.

Some? All of them protected Trump for 4 years. And allllowed him to be barbaric. Time they also got to be held accountable

This will lead to a ban on all non-sanctioned criticism of government. Like in China, they will claim that being critical incites people to revolt against the state. You thought this was unique?

Cruz should resign

TedCoup doesn't blow oxygen, he blows trump. I thought that was established.

ExpelJoshHawley ExpelTedCruz ExpelKevinMcCarthy ExpelJimJordan

Everyone knows there is voter fraud and cheating but you giant tech and mainstream media are blind. Shame

GOP hates POC and Jewish people

Despicable people

It too late for that now!

Terrorists. Domestic terrorists. History will see them as nothing less.

Lmaooo clearly still ignoring the fact democrats broke the constitution to change election laws but okay 🤡🤡🤡

Hey look, bias

Basically «most» of them; not «some» of them.

GOPBetrayedAmerica

ResignHawley

ResignTedCruz

I figured out what happened.

reallyDontTrump It wasn't a riot. It was a pre-planned political coup instigated by Trump and Cruz.

No. Your continual media bias pushed all of us over the edge. We are tired of a media who spins rather than reports. You have become disgusting and unworthy of any affiliation to journalism.

There will be NO UNITY unless and until EVERY election denier goes ON THE RECORD and states that Joe Biden is the RIGHTFUL winner of the election and that there WAS NO FRAUD involved......when they admit their wrongs.. we can start to make things right....

That’s bullshit

What happened to that Trump guy, haven't heard from him in like 72 hours, werid

gotta disagree. i can unequivocally say that it is solely due to the media and the establishment on both sides that i question everything. had it not been for the media going overboard to make him look bad, i may have went on believing the lies. so, FuccTheMedia.

Half the country thinks there was a Stolen Election which they will now pressure State Legislatures to do something about. Democrats are conflating the riots with charges of Election Fraud because they don't want an investigation. Wonder why?

Cruz needs to be arrested

stupid is stupid does..... forrest Gump

cruz & hawley committed treason, sedition, incited a riot that desecrated Federal property & got a cop killed kick them out of the senate

Vote them out

So when larpers storm the capitol it's 'riot' but when anarchist loot and burn buildings it's 'peaceful protest'.

They need to be expelled from office.

that is terrible

DESINFORMATION

As for those GOP members in the house and senate that are now saying 'introducing articles of impeachment will only further divide the country'. Now they like Jim_Jordan and GOPLeader to late. They should have thought about it while they were defending him at every turn.

UNSEAT THEM... CHARGE THEM WITH TREASON

90 + judges asked for the proof. No proof. Keep flapping your lips, only people listening are going to prison real soon. Perhaps you can join them to show how much you care.

AMusingGrace444 In a way I feel for them.I won 8million in the lottery.They wouldn’t pay me because I couldn’t produce the what.I Knew I won.

Nbc is trash 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

Thry have got to go!

So many lies continue to be fanned by FoxNews AjitPaiFCC is there really nothing that can be done to stop the madness and hold “News” stations accountable?

Nebula63 Hence psychologically unfit to govern a nation.

Wouldn’t now be a great time for one of these esteemed allies to hold a press conference and reveal all the evidence they say they have that Courts refused to consider?

Cruz need to be out

Take a big BREATHE LIBS

Help!

Objective reporting? You guys would fail a high-school journalism class. You represent everything wrong with America.

Everyone knows it was a rigged election!

We really need to sort this out. As a Texan I am very upset with Ken Paxton, Ted Cruz. As a former republican I know the party is way off the rails.

Impeach them!

Truth isn’t a wiggle point.

Lies!

GOP = TRAITORS.

Make those who enabled step down ! STEP DOWN OR BE LABELED AS TRAITORS FOREVER WITH PICTURES POSTED IN THE CAPITAL !

They LOST OVER 50 LAWSUITS - how many does it take for them to knock their shit off.

Money is their oxygen but it looks like big donors started dumping Cruz etc. We will see how long they last considering funds drying out and nobody willing to support their desire to overthrown our democracy.

Why is he such a lunchable person

Expel them. EnoughIsEnoughIsEnough

Insurrection. Come correct.

Because they love power more than America.

SAY THEIR NAMES!!!

Lmaooo they changed the laws unconstitutional and nothing the fake media will ever say will change those facts 🤡🤡

Fake. News.

I follow back immediately followfollow

yejnes The big lie 'The level of mendacity was profound. The claim was not only wrong, but it was also made in bad faith, amid unreliable sources. It challenged not just evidence but logic'

You cherry-picked specific white cop vs black man interactions, deliberately omitting key information (resisting arrest, high on fentanyl, shooting at police, running for a weapon) to spark violent race-based riots across the US that lead to 30 deaths and cost billions in damage.

This party is done. His political career is done.

Where was the outrage? Inciting riots. What a joke.

Sorry. The GOP sat idle and allowed all of this to happen with warning after warning. There can be no healing or unity until there is accountability and justice Accountability GOPSeditiousTraitors DefendDemocracy

Stop! Journalists spread the word. Take responsibility..

Claiming there was no voter fraud IS the lie.

LiesAboutElectionKilledPeople

TedCoup and others must go 14amendment SeditionCaucus

I don't know if Josh Hawley beats his wife, but some Republicans do so Americans deserve to know if Hawley is one of them.

The media is the EnemyOfThePeople why would I trust what they have to say?

RESIGN !!!

Why Cruz has his both hands inside his pant pockets? Is squeezing his own genitals?

Please explain how 200,000 more votes than voters were received in PA? Please explain how changing election laws without legislative approval isn't unconstitutional. Vilify Trump supporters all you want but don't act like there weren't significant irregularities in the election

Just wait shit is really about to get fun! Hang on tight comrades!

Is this what the party of 'Law and Order' is all about. It's ok for and insurrection and attempted coup but not ok to help the needy.

If you need your bills paid send me a dm

Suspend them... it’s that simple lying to American people enabling insurrection they got to go... and gop has to throw out if wants any kind of future

Ted needs to go

A whole lot of different size orange jumpsuit orders need to be placed by the DoJ very soon!

Cruz and Hawley...R-E-S-I-G-N

Trump (and his friends) must be arrested and indicted. No Justice = No way out of this crise = No Path Forward

So we are going to have traitors in office in plain sight. WOW

The media acting all innocent. FU.
