McMorris Rodgers will now uphold Electoral College vote
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Republican Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Spokane has reversed course, now saying she will uphold the Electoral College vote count and President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
As a mob of President Donald Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, McMorris Rodgers in a statement called for a "peaceful transfer of power."
The protesters had been egged on by Trump, who since the November presidential election had launched a barrage of false attacks on the integrity of the results.
“What happened today and continues to unfold in the nation’s capital is disgraceful and un-American. Thugs assaulted Capitol Police Officers, breached and defaced our Capitol Building, put people’s lives in danger, and disregarded the values we hold dear as Americans,” she said. "I have decided I will vote to uphold the Electoral College results and I encourage Donald Trump to condemn and put an end to this madness.”
