horsefly 4,296 Posted May 6, 2021 17 hours ago, Jools said: Perhaps Jools would be better off listening to a police officer who was beaten up by the Jan 6th insurrectionists: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/dc-police-officer-slams-disgraceful-political-indifference-in-wake-of-6-january-capitol-riot/ar-BB1gpk3G?ocid=msedgntp DC police officer slams ‘disgraceful’ political indifference in wake of 6 January Capitol riot “As the physical injuries gradually subsided in crept the psychological trauma,” wrote officer Michael Fanone, who has served with the Metro police for nearly two decades. “I struggle daily with the emotional anxiety of having survived such a traumatic event but I also struggle with the anxiety of hearing those who continue to downplay the events of that day and those who would ignore them altogether with their lack of acknowledgement.” During the 6 January riots, five people were killed and more than 100 officers were injured, the culmination of weeks of baseless conspiracy theories about a stolen election spread by Mr Trump and adopted by his Republican allies in Congress. Mr Fanone described the horror of what he saw defending one of the Capitol’s west entrances. “I was pulled out into the crowd, away from my fellow officers, beaten with fists, metal objects, stripped of my issued badge, radio and ammunition magazine and electrocuted numerous times with a Taser,” he said. “The fighting here was nothing short of brutal,” he added. “Many of these officers were injured, bleeding and fatigued but they continued to fight.” But those most responsible for causing what happened haven’t faced many meaningful consequences, while others hold fast to their challenge of the election results even though it’s long been clear, from numerous failed lawsuits and successful recounts and vote audits, that Joe Biden was the outright winner of the presidential contest. Following the riot, Mr Trump became the first president to be impeached twice, but he escaped conviction in the Senate with numerous Republican votes for acquittal. Senators like Josh Hawley, one of the key leaders in challenging the election results in Congress, have stuck by their stance in recent days. On a recent Washington Post podcast, he defended an infamous photo of him offering a celebratory fist pump to a crowd of Trump supporters outside the Capitol moments before the riots began. “I waved to them, gave them the thumbs up, pumped my fist to them and thanked them for being there, and they had every right to do that,” the Missouri Republican said on Monday on the Washington Post Live broadcast.

horsefly 4,296 Posted May 11, 2021 https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/republican-who-backed-arizona-audit-based-on-trump-s-election-lies-now-says-it-makes-us-look-like-idiots/ar-BB1gAl2T?ocid=msedgntp As a ploddingly slow election recount in Arizona drags on, some of the Republicans who originally called for it are expressing regret. “It makes us look like idiots,” Republican State Senator Paul Boyer told The New York Times. “Looking back, I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.” Some are now wondering if it’s worth it. Rejecting the work done by state election officials six months ago, the State Senate has volunteered to count the vote with its own auditors, subpoenaing all 21 million ballots. To house the effort, the Senate has rented out the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum until 14 May – this Friday. So far their auditors have recounted about 250,000 votes. At that rate, they’ll be done some time in August. Arizona’s secretary of state, Katie Hobbs, has condemned the effort, saying the equipment being used is uncertified and the counting methods deviate from “standard best practices.” “Though conspiracy theorists are undoubtedly cheering on these types of inspections – and perhaps providing financial support because of their use – they do little other than further marginalise the professionalism and intent of this ‘audit,’” she said on Wednesday. Since making those comments, Ms Hobbs has received death threats, and Governor Doug Ducey has ordered state police to protect her. Even before the current review, Arizona’s 2020 vote had already been audited. In accordance with Arizona state law, county election officials performed hand-counts of large numbers of ballots and compared them to the original machine counts. According to county officials, the machine counts were found to be 100 per cent accurate. Officials worry the new recount effort will cast doubt on legitimate election results. “It would be unfortunate if the antics and false allegations of people who didn’t like the results lead voters to question a system that is designed to be fair,” Maricopa County communications director Fields Moseley told CBS News.
