On the recordMarch 25, 2021
So, you are literally going to make public policy based on a lie, based on the feeling that some people have that things didn’t turn out the way they should have turned out? Is that how we make public policy? We counted the votes not once, not twice but three times. So what’s the purpose of all of this? They don’t like the outcome and so this is democracy in reverse, where politicians have decided that instead of the voters picking their representatives, the representatives have a right to cherry-pick their voters. It’s un-American. It’s anti-democratic. We have to resist it.
