Statement from Government Accountability Project on Violent Sedition Efforts to Undermine Democracy
WASHINGTON—Today, thousands of domestic terrorists descended on the nation’s capitol building, violently disrupting the Electoral College vote count. For weeks President Trump and his allies have been refusing to accept the clear and lawful results of the presidential election in favor of President-elect Joseph Biden—through more than 60 frivolous lawsuits, pressure to replace state electors, potentially criminally calling the Secretary of State of Georgia to overturn the state’s presidential election results, and in today’s planned efforts by Senate and House Republicans to object, without basis, the largely ceremonial congressional electoral vote count. The angry mob had been stoked by President Trump and his allies to not accept the election results.
