More conservatives break with Trump over election claims
Source: The Hill
A growing number of conservative Republicans are breaking with President Trump and his legal team over what they view as a dangerous effort to overturn the election results by promoting conspiracy theories.

The voices range from Fox Newss Tucker Carlson to Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) to conservative lawyers and thought leaders such as Karl Rove.

This is delusional, said Mark Braden, the former chief counsel at the RNC. Im a professional Republican so its not easy for me to have to deal with my friends on this. Look voter fraud occurs. Ive seen it. It happens. But you have to be realistic about the size and scope of it.
Republican lawyers interviewed by The Hill said Trumps early legal challenges on voter fraud were defensible and reasonable, even if they had no chance of changing the outcome of the election. But theyre disturbed by the dark turn things have taken, and worried that Trumps claims are undermining democracy and misleading millions of his own supporters.

(12,601 posts)The choice was clear - Biden had won in a landslide, and Trump lost in a humiliating defeat. Trump turned it into a battle between himself and democracy, and these Republicans chose to sit on the sidelines to see who won. By doing so they showed their lack of character and lack of true patriotism. They also violated their oath of office, which is "to protect the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic." The moment Trump refused to concede he became the latter.
So they're slowly "coming around"? Fuck them and the cows they rode in on.
