“Chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House counsel Pat Cipollone had also encouraged him to allow the transition to begin, telling the president he didn’t need to concede but could no longer justify withholding support to the Biden transition” https://t.co/9ZxqJwJzGL

I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA. Our case STRONGLY continues, we will keep up the good…

…fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

Trump will not concede.
Instead he’s raised the white flag, put his hands over his head, and is marching toward oblivion.
But what about the Republican Party?
Moscow Mitch and his Republicans allowed Trump three weeks to undermine the American voting system while he and his minions searched for “widespread voter fraud.”
The Republicans sat on their hands in silence as Trump scapegoated all of his favorite enemies, concocted outrageous conspiracy theories, and lied about a fraud that didn’t exist.
All in a move to try and overturn the result of the election by attempting to throw out the legitimate votes cast in Democratically controlled urban areas with large Black populations.
Why do Republicans hate America?
