Standing strong!
Five Congress members, all Republicans, voted against a (disingenuous) resolution committing to a peaceful transfer of power following the election.
They correctly argue the resolution is a nakedly political statement meant to diminish President Trump and disguise the fact that some Democrats — like Hillary Clinton — are acting as if they’ll refuse to accept any results short of a Biden landslide.
Here are the conservative lawmakers who voted against the left’s latest stunt:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)

And I will pray that America survives the Democrats’ mad and destructive lust for power.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)

He added, “Isn’t it interesting that speaker Pelosi and leader McCarthy didn’t have the time or political willpower to take a recorded vote on the $2 trillion bailout package that passed in March, but they’re now happy to vote on this tripe?”
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA)

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)

There aren’t enough stand-up Republicans. Five? Really?
It shows how cowardly Republicans are in failing to realize the consequences to Trump and their party as well as their careers. The voters that put them in Congress will soon turn against them and likely vote Democrat or not at all, leaving the Democrats to take these seats. Time for real grass roots leaders to oust them and form the same loyalty that Democrats do for their initiatives and against the opposing Republicans.
WHERE, the heck was Jim Jordan?! Only five? That’s it? God help us.
