A sitting president undermining our political process & questioning the legality of the voices of countless Americans without evidence is not only dangerous & wrong, it undermines the very foundation this nation was built upon.
— Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), in a tweet after President Donald Trump gave remarks during a press conference last night where he made meritless claims about voter fraud and the election being rigged in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Hurd is retiring at the end of his current term. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) echoed these thoughts, tweeting, “We want every vote counted, yes every legal vote (of course). But, if you have legit concerns about fraud present EVIDENCE and take it to court. STOP Spreading debunked misinformation… This is getting insane.”
