just not substantiated'Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania on Friday morning offered what was perhaps the most forceful pushback so far on President Donald Trump's false claims that the election is being stolen from him. President-elect Joe Biden was projected as the winner of the election by Decision Desk HQ and Insider on Friday morning.
"The president's allegations of large-scale fraud and theft of the election are just not substantiated. I'm not aware of any significant wrongdoing here," Toomey said on "TODAY."
A number of other top Republicans have echoed Trump's lies about the election.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy repeated Trump's false claim that he won the election. In an appearance on Fox News on Thursday night, he said "President Trump won this election, so to everyone who is listening: do not be quiet, do not be silent about this. We cannot allow this to happen before our very eyes, we need to unite together."

(82,849 posts)4. That must come as something of a shock to you, Senator
After all, when you had the opportunity nine months ago to consider whether Donald J. Trump should continue in office, you didn't even look at the evidence or hear any testimony before voting to acquit him. Tell us how shocked you are.

can go to hell. These fucking republicans ARE BAD TO THE BONE!!!! Just go away and be a lobbyist or something you are not worth the title you hold, they are traitors and to the oath they took.
They have no fucking party, unless all those who jumped will secretly jump back on wagon again.
They have no right to smear us, they have been a disgrace to the American people. And there is still a pandemic out there. Raging.
