Obama told NPR today, “I’m distressed that you haven’t seen more Republican leadership make [Biden’s win] clear … the amount of time that’s being lost in this transition process has real world effects.”
Distressed? How about outraged?
Here’s one of the potential heroes who’s obviously been reminded that he’s a Republican first and an American second:
Last week Oklahoma senator Jim Lankford, a Republican, argued that Joe Biden should be receiving classified intelligence briefings despite the standstill with the GSA. Lankford said he would step in if the standoff continued.
But that was last week. This week Lankford sounded less worried:
After saying he would step in if President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris still weren’t receiving detailed intelligence briefings Friday, Sen. James Lankford (R., Okla.) said over the weekend his comments had been blown out of proportion.
“I’m not in a hurry, necessarily, to get Joe Biden these briefings, it’s been interesting how the media, the national media, not this network, but others have twisted this term ‘step in.’ I happen to chair the committee that oversees GSA, that is the entity that has to be able to make this call,” Mr. Lankford said an interview with the pro-Trump Newsmax TV Saturday.
On Wednesday, in an interview with KRMG radio in Tulsa, Okla., Mr. Lankford said: “If that’s not occurring by Friday, I will step in as well and be able to push and say, this needs to occur,”
Mr. Lankford said he was using the term “step in” to ask the General Services Administration about their process and act as a sounding board for the agency.
There is not ONE of them with any conscience. They do not care about democracy, they don’t care about the country and they don’t care about American lives. This has been made manifestly clear. I don’t know why anyone would think otherwise at this point.
