As "first-in-the-nation" 2022 primaries get underway in Texas, County Examiner is revisiting and publishing a much needed reminder of how every member of the Texas delegation to Congress voted on January 6, 2021.
Who among the Texas Republicans voted to fulfill their oath of office by supporting the then and now, well-founded pleas of election maladministration in the November 2020 Presidential election? Which Texas Republicans had the courage to reject the deception and threats heaped upon battleground state legislators by their own state executives and local officials desperate to prevent investigations into election law violations?
And who among the Texas Republicans joined the Texas Democrats & totally ignored their Constitutional duty, their responsibility to the American people & their colleagues in Congress by turning a blind eye to admitted violations of explicit elections laws enacted by judicial fiat or state legislatures in violation of separation of powers? (Go here, here, here, here for details)
Texas primary voters should take this information and factor it into your decision-making process as you vote tomorrow through March 1.
Taken from a Washington Post electoral college count tracker these are the five members of the Texas delegation who did the latter--joined Mike Pence, the Democrats and together ignored the pleas of their colleagues in Congress who only wanted more time for their battleground state legislators to meet and fulfill their constitutional duties:
- Senator John Cornyn (who is not on the 2022 ballot)
- Representative Dan Crenshaw - TX CD2
- Reporesentative Tony Gonzales - TX CD23
- Representative Chip Roy - TX CD21
- Representative Van Taylor - TX CD3
- Representative Michael McCaul - TX CD10
Hold them accountable at the ballot box. They are in part a key reason why Joe Biden is in office today.
