U.S. Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., has apologized to black constituents in his state after he joined other Republican senators in calling for an audit of the 2020 presidential election ahead of the Jan. 6 certification of Electoral College votes.
Writing to residents in north Tulsa, the 52-year-old Lankford stated in a Thursday letter that his actions in contesting the election “caused a firestorm of suspicion among many of my friends, particularly in Black communities around the state.”
Beto O Rourke Opposes Ted Cruz Attending Biden Inauguration After Challenging Election Results
On 1/16/21 at 9:38 AM EST
According to
The Texas Tribune, both Cruz and his fellow Texas Senator John Cornyn confirmed that they plan to attend the inauguration, where Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president.
O Rourke, who ran against Cruz for his Senate seat in 2018, condemned the senator for his intention to attend, saying he shouldn t be allowed. The former congressman accused Cruz of sedition and inciting the violent protesters who invaded the Capitol on January 6, which lead to the deaths of five people.
Don’t let Cruz attend the inauguration. His attempt at sedition and his incitement to violent insurrectionists should result in his expulsion from the Senate. He certainly shouldn’t be allowed at a celebration of the peaceful transfer of presidential power. https://t.co/btv0qtnTJZ Beto O Rourke (@BetoORourke) January 15, 2021
“They should look, absolutely. That should be a consideration,” Manchin said Friday during an appearance on PBS when asked if the 14th Amendment should be triggered to remove Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz.
