@RepGallagher (R-WI) on WTMJ radio just now, framing the "conservative" case against trying to reject Biden's Electoral College victory: “From a conservative perspective, the idea that Congress gets to overturn the states and the Electoral College I think is a dangerous idea" 1/5

Gallagher: "It’s never been the case from a conservative perspective that Congress would have that power, because that means you believe Congress has unlimited power ..." (On Jan. 6) ”we just count the votes the states submit, not litigate the election." 2/5

Gallagher “If I understand the arguments of the objectors, they’re saying … if states don’t follow their own el. laws to the letter then Cong. gets to overturn the El. College." then "why hasn’t a single state legislature in the entire country" overturned its own slate? 3/5

Gallagher: “I just don’t think we want to endorse the principle (that) Jan 6 is a legitimate forum for Congress to overturn the will of the states and the people" 4/5

Gallagher: "if you’ve endorsed that principle, then you’ve already destroyed the idea of American government. Right? At least you’ve destroyed the conservative idea of American government.” 5/5
