ORLANDO, Fla. - On Wednesday, Florida Congresswoman Val Demings announced that she will accept the lawful results of the Electoral College. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be inaugurated on January 20th. None of today’s sound and fury will change that result.
In a press release, Demings said: Yet this attack on our republic matters. Its supporters have abandoned their oath of office. They hide behind democracy but do not believe in it. They sell their souls and our republic for their own gain. Remember their names. They will not be there for you when you need them. They are fakes; hollow shadows who believe only in power but vanish in the light of a new day. ‘We know them by the fruits they bear’ and we will remember.
