Please show me Barbara Boxer whipping up the crowd after the President has promised big rallies -- "it's gonna be wild" -- at or just before the electoral count confirmation:old salt wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 12:53 amShow me the words of Hawley, Langford, even Cruz, or any of the other Senators who said the election was "fradulent, stolen, or won in a landslide." You're putting Trump's words in their mouths. You are being dishonest. What they did is no different than Boxer objecting based on long voting lines in Ohio.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 12:24 amYou are correct that the Inciter-In-Chief is Trump, but no, every single one of the a-holes who claim that the election was fraudulent, stolen, won in a landslide... or just whine about "irregularities" and "election integrity" in order to reverse an election, the outcome of which they didn't like, are ALL complicit in the incitement. Their responsibility is measured in the size of their microphone and the oaths they've taken. The Senators have big microphones and took an oath, and they know better...and then there's Hannity...old salt wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 10:10 pm The mob assaulted the Capitol because Trump incited them to do so, not because of the Senators who objected.
The counting of Electors would still have taken place on Jan 6th, & the mob would still have rioted to try to stop it, because Trump told them it would.
The Senators were trying to focus attention on the irregularities in this election, so they'ii be addressed before the next election.
The riot disrupted their harmless effort which needed to be no more controversial than previous objections.
And everyone else spouting this destructive nonsense.
EDIT: Including you as I see in the post immediately below.
"not dispositive"? "hurried court cases"? what a joke. 60 strikes and you still don't know you struck out.
