The head of the House Democratic Caucus warned Tuesday that voters should have no faith in Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to certify this year’s presidential election results because of his role in promoting former President Trump’s false claims about the 2020 contest being “rigged.”
“He doesn’t have a track record that would indicate to the American people that he should be believed,” Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) said during a press briefing in the Capitol.
The charge came shortly after Johnson, appearing at the same pressroom podium, had vowed to back the certification of the winner of this year’s contest between Trump and Vice President Harris — if the elections are “free, fair and safe.”
So… When pre modern societies had an enemy within that was openly trying to destroy their way of life, they’d just kill that person or render them as outlaws (literally not protected by the law).
Instead we’re just watching them lie, and allowing them to retain their position, privileges, and safety until… When exactly? What’s the civilized solution when we’re subject to the rulership of men who are protected by our laws but not bound by them? Everyone knows “free, fair, and safe” is code for “if my guy wins”, because it’s the same exact way Trump talks about repeating his insurrection any time you ask if he’ll accept the results. The lies are clear and the wheels of justice aren’t fast enough to stop them. What’s the civilized solution?
Prioritized trials for elected officials. They take prominence over all other trials and should have strict time frames.
We uh…
Don’t have that
