SEDITION? 12 GOP Senators Announce Plans To Fight Election Certification On January 6th

By Red Painter — January 2, 2021

It started with Josh Hawley, the GOP Senator from Missouri who lives in Virginia, but claims his sister's address in Missouri as his "home," so he can serve in the Senate. He promised to throw a giant manbaby tantrum on January 6th in an effort to slow down the certification of Joe Biden's win. Now 11 more GOP Senators have joined him, in a shocking demonstration of sedition and possibly treason:

Ted Cruz
Ron Johnson
James Lankford
Steve Daines
John Kennedy
Marsha Blackburn
Mike Braun
Cynthia Lummis
Roger Marshall
Bill Hagerty
Tommy Tuberville

These idiots are so desperate to please Trump and the MAGA base that they are willing to try to overthrow the will of the people. Despicable.

Twitter had many thoughts:

“On July 11, 1861, the Senate quickly passed Senate Daniel Clark's resolution, expelling all 10 southern senators by a vote of 32 to 10. By the following February, the Senate expelled another four senators for offering aid to the Confederacy.” #SeditionHasConsequences pic.twitter.com/bNamno9XA6

Dear Madam Speaker @SpeakerPelosi
Don't seat the traitors.

Dear Biden Voters in swing states,
Have you thought of suing Republicans making allegations to discount your votes?#SeditionHasConsequences

If your loyalty is to Trump and not this country's democracy, you don't belong in Congress.

You took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign & domestic.

You're traitors who should be prosecuted for treason.#SeditionHasConsequences pic.twitter.com/tYxyOYZUEN

This attempt to reject our democracy is the worst thing anyone in our government has done in over 150 years.

You say no, war is worse? No, it's not. World War Two didn't start the day the tanks started moving. It started when Germany's democracy failed.#SeditionHasConsequences

Any member of the House or Senate who refuses to accept the results of a fair election should be forced to wear the Cone of Shame. Forever! #SeditionHasConsequences pic.twitter.com/8FBmU6cK7W

A vote to ignore the will of the people is a vote for tyranny.

Any Republican who votes for this must RESIGN.🤬#GOPsedition #sedition https://t.co/KmnB85xY4X

There are actually 12 Senators “pointing a loaded gun” at the heart of democracy. They should always be known as the #dirtydozen They all know better. They all know there is no evidence. They all know that every case was thrown out of court, even by Trump appointees.

If these Senators think that the election was fraudulent, does that invalidate the wins of all GOP Senators as well? McConnell? Collins? Graham? Does this mean NONE OF THEM WON, EITHER? There should be consequences, and if Ossoff and Warnock win on Tuesday, Biden will run all 3 branches, and full investigations can be done. The question is this: is the GOP protecting Trump, or are they protecting *themselves* from investigations into their dealings?
