. @BenSasse out with a very long statement on January 6 Electoral Vote process.
Highlight: “When we talk in private, I haven’t heard a single Congressional Republican allege that the election results were fraudulent - not one.” https://www.facebook.com/709959352435346/posts/3517705981660655/?d=n

Shot across the bow at @HawleyMO from Sasse: "We have a bunch of ambitious politicians who think there’s a quick way to tap into the president’s populist base without doing any real, long-term damage. But they’re wrong – and this issue is bigger than anyone’s personal ambitions."
More: "All the clever arguments and rhetorical gymnastics in the world won’t change the fact that this January 6th effort is designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans simply because they voted for someone in a different party. We ought to be better than that."
Not going over well over on Facebook!
Anyways, been thinking a lot about Edmund Burke and his theory of political representation lately.
"Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion."
