In the treasure trove of text messages from Mark Meadows obtained and uncovered by Talking Points Memo, it was revealed that South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman urged Trump to declare 'martial law' to prevent President-elect Joe Biden from assuming office.
TPM reports that at least thirty-four Republican members of Congress communicated with Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to try and overturn the 2020 election.
"The Messages Included Battle Cries, Crackpot Legal Theories, And ‘Invoking Marshall Law!!’
If this isn't treason to the US Constitution, I don't know what is.
One such message came from South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman on January 17th, three days before Biden's inauguration and eleven days after the January 6th insurrection.
"Mark, in seeing what’s happening so quickly, and reading about the Dominion law suits attempting to stop any meaningful investigation we are at a point of � no return � in saving our Republic !! Our LAST HOPE is invoking Marshall Law!! PLEASE URGE TO PRESIDENT TO DO SO!!
This is Michael Flynn crazy. Huntington Post contacted Rep. Norman, and his response was just as despicable
Well, I misspelled ‘martial.’” “I was very frustrated then, I’m frustrated now,” Norman told HuffPost. “I was frustrated then by what was going on in the Capitol. President Biden was in his basement the whole year. Dominion was raising all kinda questions.”
You'd think inciting Trump supporters to attack the US Capitol, to force an overturn of a free and fair election, or hanging Mike Pence to stop electoral college votes to be certified, would be the end from these violent muppets, but you'd be wrong.
Dominion was a major focus point of conspiracy theories emanating from the MAGA world trying to overthrow the government.
Not to be forgotten, on the same day as Norman, we've already reported that Marjorie Taylor Greene also misspelled "martial" and agreed.
Pat Robertson was in on this grift from the beginning: Pat Robertson Screams 'Venezuela Stole Election From Trump!'
Doesn't it shock you, ladies and gentlemen? Doesn't it shock you? I am so sick of hearing anchors, including those on Fox News, saying the unproven allegations, the unproven, and the president doesn't have evidence."
"There is reams of evidence. -- evidence pointing to fraud, reams of sworn testimonies, and people -- you hear these guys saying they are unproven allegations. [Trump] doesn't have to prove anything. He has the evidence and the proof.
Well, he has no evidence? The evidence is overwhelming, and the thought that Venezuela might be controlling the company that in turn handles the huge amounts of ballots that control the election of the United States, it's horrifying.
The January 6 Select Committee has proved beyond a doubt that a multitude of Republicans in Congress, as well as the White House itself, was trying to overthrow the free and fair elections of 2020.
