GOP Congressman who voted to overturn election results admits 2020 race not fraudulent
CNN, Jan 24 2121 2:50 PM ET
Republican Representative Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina said Saturday that he accepts Joe Biden as President and that the 2020 election was not conducted fraudulently. The freshman Congressman made the comments to CNN's Pamela Brown when pressed about his lingering views on the November election results. "Yes, I think I would say that the election was not fraudulent. You know, the Constitution allowed for us to be able to push back as much as we could and I did that to the amount of the Constitutional limits that I had at my disposal. So now I would say that Joseph R. Biden is our President," Cawthorn said.
Cawthorn was one of more than 120 House GOP members who voted to sustain the objection to electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania earlier this month when Congress met to to certify President-elect Biden's victory. Since Biden's inauguration, Cawthorn has signed onto a letter along with 16 other GOP House freshmen, saying they look forward to working with Biden.

Donald Trump's blindly loyal supporters believe his lie that he won the election "by a landslide" but it was "stolen" from him. On January 6, he incited them to an insurrection at the Capitol. Trump is no longer President but his blindly loyal supporters remain determined to avenge his supposed "stolen" victory. Today, acting US Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman is recommending permanent fencing be installed around the Capitol as a protection against violent pro-Trump extremists.

So far, 400 people who took part in the January 6 Trump-incited insurrection at the Capitol have been identified and more than 200 have been charged with crimes including conspiracy, unlawful entry into a restricted building, assault, disorderly conduct, destruction of property and obstruction of police officers. Many of the rioters are members of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other white supremacy groups. They all love Donald Trump, who, four four years, served as the White-Supremacist-In-Chief.

Microsoft said on Friday it will suspend all donations by its political action committee (PAC) through 2022 to all US lawmakers who voted to object to the certification of Joe Biden’s election as President. The software maker will also suspend contributions through the same period for state officials and organizations who supported objections or suggested the election should be overturned.

Recent events have raised issues of importance to PACs across the business community.”
