âThe continued peddling of conspiracy theories and pandering to President Trumpâs dangerous lies by the Republican Attorneys General Association, the Rule of Law Defense Fund, and some current and former Republican Attorneys General has gone unchecked for too long."
"Current and former Republican AGs have been directly involved with efforts to undermine the results of the 2020 presidential election..."
"...and now the party of so-called âlaw and orderâ played a role in recruiting the domestic terrorists who breached the U.S. Capitol to attack Vice President Mike Pence for doing his Constitutionally-mandated job to certify the Electoral College.â
âRAGA, RLDFâand the Republican AGs who blindly take their supportâhave no legal or moral ground on which to stand here..."
"...the organization paid for robocalls to recruit attendees, it was listed as a sponsor of the event, its former Chair spoke at the rally that incited a mob, and former GOP AG Josh Hawley led the effort in Congress to undermine the election.â
âThe committeeâs unfortunate choice to compare insurrectionists and white nationalists who stormed the Capitol to Americans protesting this summer for racial justice further illustrates the radical and racist underpinnings of RAGAâs most recent efforts.â
âIt is not enough for Republican Attorneys General to denounce the violence at the Capitol; they must publicly distance themselves from the Republican Attorneys General Association and its leadership."
"And we encourage any individual and entities financially-backing the committee to abstain from further supporting an organization that makes such a mockery of the rule of law and our beloved democracy.â
âLeadership requires taking responsibility for your actions. Itâs now or never.â
