After many of them spent the past two months sowing doubts about the legitimacy of President-elect Joe Bidenâs victory in the 2020 election, Republican elected officials from Lancaster County on Wednesday uniformly decried the violent takeover of the U.S. Capitol by rioters who were incited by President Trumpâs speech earlier in the day.
U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker of Lancaster County, who went from reluctantly conceding Bidenâs victory in November to joining seven of his GOP colleagues in pledging to dispute Pennsylvaniaâs electoral votes, was reached by phone late in the afternoon from a location inside the Capitol complex where he was sheltering with members of his staff.
