Mo Brooks whistles Dixie
House Republican urges GOP lawmakers to join effort to stop 'illegitimate' Biden winRep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) on Monday called on fellow House Republicans to sign on to his effort to challenge the certification of the Electoral College's votes on Jan. 6, while blasting President-elect Joe Biden's election victory as "illegitimate."
During an interview with Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs, Brooks dismissed the idea that rejecting Electoral College submissions from states, a move that has not been made by Congress since the 1800s, was "unusual" and urged his fellow members to support the effort.
Brooks made the remarks shortly after Biden secured the number of electoral votes needed to secure his election, something expected but that received prominent media attention given President Trump's refusal to concede his loss.
"This is not unusual, the law is very clear, the House of Representatives in combination with the United States Senate has the lawful authority to accept or reject Electoral College submissions from states with such flawed election systems that they are not worthy of our trust," Brooks said.

Hey Brooks, go fuck yourself.
