Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), who chairs the Senate Rules Committee that is responsible for overseeing the election and formerly served as Missouri’s secretary of state, was anything but blunt when asked whether he accepts Joe Biden as president-elect, during an interview on CNN Sunday.
“I think the system, frankly, was more secure than it’s ever been before. And the President deserves some credit for that.”
Why didn’t God immediately strike him dead with a lightning bolt? Why, God, why?
I read on twitter that these fuckers are using Trump’s refusal to concede in order to fundraise/grift.
No shame.
Are these people really so terrified of him and his mob?
Someone’s apparently afraid of the rabid Trumpists back home…
Pissy, pissy, pissy.
He did everything but comment on Joe’s weight and fasion-sense
ZOMG!!!
STOP THE PRESSES!!!
“I think there were things that could have been done differently and better to ensure there weren’t voter fraud,” Blunt said. “I think the system, frankly, was more secure than it’s ever been before. And the President deserves some credit for that.”
The next question should have been “Why did the GOP refuse to work with the House on election security bills to make it more secure?” But it wasn’t. This is why we can’t have nice things.
And @tmulcaire, that was my first thought as well, along with “this belongs in the non sequitur hall of fame”.
From what I have heard of Blunt he plays little games like this from time to time.
This is infantile. At this stage, what could this behavior buy this bozo?
“Well, the president-elect will be the president-elect when the electors vote for him. There is no official job of president-elect,” Blunt said.
On the contrary, the President-elect is required by law to form a transition team and prepare for the peaceful transition of power. That, by definition, makes it “a job”.
And for not stating the blatantly obvious, it also makes Roy Blunt a coward.
Meanwhile, Old Alfalfa breath over on CNN is trying to tear down Jon Ossoff.
Send someone better than Bash to play that game, CNN.
The bus is underway. Blunt is just that noise coming from under the rear tires.
YES!!!
Op/ed in today’s NYTimes. Only 3 or 4 one-term presidents escaped obscurity and donnie won’t join that group.
“There are no second acts in American lives”.

“I think the system, frankly, was more secure than it’s ever been before. And the President deserves some credit for that.”
Exactly. That’s why he fired the guy that made sure it was more secure than it’s ever been before.
Republicans are children. Petulant children.
And there’s this:
> “I hope the President is there on Inaugural Day,” Sen. Roy Blunt, the Missouri Republican who is responsible for overseeing January’s inauguration, told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union” on Sunday.https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/29/politics/trump-biden-inauguration/index.html
I hope he isn’t. If he’s there, he’ll sit there on the front row and make faces during the whole thing, arms crossed, chin jutting out, shaking his head no, and the MSM will talk about how he was such a good sport. He’ll try to bring a lot of guests so that they, too, can behave like animals. He hasn’t yet figured out that he could get much more attention by actually doing the right thing. No, I think the thing to do is for him to stay away.

Interesting . . . Trump margin of “defeat” in 4 states occurred in 4 data dumps between 1:34-6:31 AM. Statistical anomaly? Fraud? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself.(That is, if Big Tech allows u to read this) Anomalies in Vote Counts; https://votepatternanalysis.substack.com/p/voting-anomalies-2020
