In the Senate, all the 12 Republicans who originally supported objecting to the Electoral College in addition to Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Chuck Grassley, Jim Inhofe, John Barrasso, Rand Paul, and Mitch McConnell.

In the House of Representatives, probably all of the 138 who voted in favor of the objections, with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Mo Brooks, Devin Nunes, Markwayne Mullin, Darrell Issa, Doug LaMalfa, Lauren Boebert, Ted Budd, Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, Elise Stefanik, Clay Higgins, Madison Cawthorn, Scott DesJarlais, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Mary Miller, Louie Gohmert, Ronny Jackson, Carol Miller, Jeff Van Drew, Mike Kelly, Scott Perry, Tom Tiffany, and Scott Fitzgerald being the most vile racists and white supremacists. .

I mean, if you object to an election based on the votes that came in from heavily minority areas that put your opponent in the lead...

They objected to the election based on the fact that the Democrats won. If all African-Americans voted GOP and Trump still lost, they would still object.

They objected to the election based on the fact that the Democrats won. If all African-Americans voted GOP and Trump still lost, they would still object.

The crux of their argument was that "bad things" were happening specifically in Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, etc. You're likely correct that it was more about Democrats winning, but there's a reason they targeted those cities specifically and why GOP-led state legislatures are making it harder for people to vote in predominantly black, predominantly Democratic areas.

Steve King, MTG, Arthur Jones, Seth Grossman. I'm sure there have been others but these are the ones who immediately come to mind.

Cori Bush is the only out-and-out racist now that Steve King is gone.

Do you actually believe this or is white victimhood a convenient way to excuse a political agenda that perpetuates racial and economic inequality?

Don't answer, the question was meant to make you think... critically... about race... I know scary.

Anyway, the answer was Steve King, but nowadays it's obviously one of:
1. The kid who openly idolized Hitler (Cawthorn) 
OR
2. The woman who thinks Jews shoot lasers at us from space (Greene)

Not that it matters at all because an entire political party is oriented toward taking away Black people's right to vote, invading and destroying countries just because they are Muslim, preventing legal immigration... only one political party's members voted against a mere statement saying hate crimes against Asian people are wrong... only one political party has admitted openly to using a "Southern strategy" to pursue racists' votes... and I would keep going if I didn't think that the majority of people still supporting such a party were not themselves at least neutral toward the continuation of white supremacy and therefore impervious to facts or morals.

Which isn't to say that Democrats aren't racist. They did just elect a person who got his career started opposing busing as the president after all. But Joe Biden in 2020, unlike Joe Biden in 1972, did not campaign on white supremacy* and Donald Trump did. So, any argument that the most racist person in Congress is a Democrat is an insult to everyone here's intelligence.

The Washington Times and Forward Magazine aren't credible sources. It's no wonder they breathlessly reported this as true.

Duke has been doing this for years. He uses his own bad reputation to associate it with others. In reality, Ilhan Omar is just as hated amongst people of your political stripe as you would expect any young socialist Muslim immigrant woman to be.

Well true, but when you’re a committed voter of the racist party you have to find “alternative facts” somewhere just to sleep at night. Not surprising!

Lmao what? Duckworth and Hirono? Did you just pick the only women of color in the Senate? What makes them different from your run-of-the-mill Democrat?

Exactly; they're terrible politicians who wanted to undermine a democratic election's results because they lost and should be expelled - but that doesn't automatically make all of them racist (some probably are, but not because they objected to the election results). It's like saying that because someone was guilty of one crime, it automatically means they are guilty of another crime.

Tar Heel "Gentleman" is one of the worst new posters on this site. A true example of why some, even if they are bothered by the GOP's turn to a cult of personality around Trump, can't quit the party because they still hate Democrats just as much as their less "moderate" counterparts.
