There have been a few others but no one quite as overt as he was.

I think once the race is called, they might be falling over each other to distance themselves from Trump.

Of course, people like Graham will support him to the bitter end. Emphasis on the bitter.

"There may have been fraud, and if so it needs to be investigated..." or many words to that effect.

Still, he was more outspoken than any of the other GOPers I've heard.

The silence is because they plan to promote Pierce Bush for the future.
They are all scum.

I just can't stomach them. It's very disheartening to hear that they are defending him after such an inflammatory statement!

Trump’s loyalists, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Sens. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) and Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), echoed Trump’s evidence-free claims of widespread fraud in Pennsylvania and other swing states that have been trending toward former vice president Joe Biden as more votes are counted.

“President Trump won this election,” McCarthy falsely claimed to Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday night. He followed up his on-air comments with a tweet proclaiming: “Republicans will not be silenced. We demand transparency. We demand accuracy. And we demand that the legal votes be protected.”

“Philadelphia elections are crooked as a snake,” Graham told Fox’s Sean Hannity. “Why are they shutting people out? Because they don’t want people to see what they’re doing.”
