Trump We will never concede

At a massive Save America rally across from the White House President Trump declared he would never concede the presidency

TRUMP We will never give up We will never concede It doesnt happen You dont concede when theres theft involved

He publicly urged Vice President Mike Pence not to certify the Biden electors from the contested states

TRUMP So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do And I hope he doesnt listen to the RINOs Republicans in Name Only and the stupid people that hes listening to

Minutes after those remarks Pence released a 2-page statement which said my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not

John EastmanPresident Trumps constitutional attorney said late Wednesday afternoon that Vice President Pence misrepresented what he was being asked to do when he presided over the certification of the Electoral College votes reports WorldNetDailycom

In an interview with Steve Bannon on War Room Eastman said I think hes exaggerating what the request was What Pence had been asked to do is recognize that several slates of electors had been illegally given and send it back to the state legislatures and allow them -- theyre the proper constitutional authority in this instance -- to allow them to assess the situation in their own states and decide whether they can ratify the existing slate of electors or whether they were fraudulently given and should be altered

Cruz proposed Electoral Commission to conduct 10-day emergency audit

As the Electoral College count was proceeding alphabetically Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas raised an objection when they came to Arizona and asked this question

CRUZ What does it say to the nearly half the country that believes this election was rigged if we vote not even to consider the claims of illegality and fraud in this election

Furthermore Senator Cruz proposed a solution identical to the one established in 1876 to resolve the Rutherford HayesSamuel Tilden election

CRUZ So I endeavored to look to the precedent of the 1876 election the HaysTilden election where this Congress appointed an Electoral Commission to examine claims of voter fraud Five House members five Senators five Supreme Court justices examined the evidence and rendered the judgment

And what I would urge of this body is that we do the same That we appoint an Electoral Commission to conduct a 10-day emergency audit Consider the evidence and resolve the claims

For those on the Democratic aisle who say there is no evidence theyve been rejected then you should rest in comfort If thats the case an Electoral Commission would reject those claims

But for those who respect the voters simply telling the voters Go jump in a lake that jeopardizes I believe the legitimacy of this and subsequent elections
