This is pretty rich coming from a guy whose baseless claims have undermined public confidence in elections

. @SenGaryPeters: "Whether intended or not, this hearing gives a platform to conspiracy theories and lies and is a destructive exercise that has no place in the US Senate. Joe Biden won the election."

Peters: "There were no widespread election irregularities that affected the final outcome. These claims are false. And giving them more oxygen is a grave threat to the future of our democracy... we have seen democracies around the world crumble b/c of similar words and actions."

After Peters eviscerates him, Ron Johnson points out that he's Just Asking Questions

Ron Johnson introduces Ken Starr as a witness, proving that this elections hearing is basically a Fox news segment

"It's important to step back & actually look at how votes are cast in the country, particularly with paper ballots, & that regardless of internet connections & regardless of foreign hacking, as long as you've got the paper receipt" -- Christopher Krebs in response to Ron Johnson

"I think we're past the point where we need to be having conversations about the outcome of this election" -- Krebs

Krebs: "That's why it's so important to have a paper trail & paper ballots. So even if there was foreign interference of a malicious algorithm nature, you can go back to the receipts. You can check your math, and Georgia did that 3 times & the outcomes were consistent."

A very heated moment between Ron Johnson and Gary Peters

"The election in many ways was stolen," Rand Paul lies, citing no evidence

. @SenatorCarper gets worked up: "This is shameful. Enough already. We have work to do to get America back on track starting right here in this Congress, in this house. All of us, Democrats and Republicans here in this body, need to do our jobs."

Krebs on lies about election fraud being spread by the president and others: "We have to stop this. It's undermining confidence in democracy."

Ron Johnson looks like he has indigestion as Krebs denounces Republican election fraud lies that have resulted in him and other officials receiving threats

Josh Hawley's "these are not crazy people" shirt raises a lot of questions answered by his shirt

That Josh Hawley directed all of his questions during the Senate election hearing to cable news bloviator Ken Starr instead of Chris Krebs -- a person who actually has first-hand knowledge of election security -- says a lot about his level of fraudulence

After Krebs talks about threats he and other election workers have faced in part due to Republican rhetoric, Ron Johnson jumps in to point out that there are threats on Both Sides

This hearing has been going on for more than 3 hours and witnesses are just now making closing statements. It's bizarre that Trump would tweet this now. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1339275859841134594
