Former representative Liz Cheney condemned the Ohio Senator JD Vances comments about how he would have handled the 2020 election as “constitutional”.
During a performance at All In podcast Vance, Republican nominated past president Donald Trumpvice president, was asked if he would have confirmed the 2020 election results.
“I would have asked the states to submit alternative electoral rolls and asked the country to have a debate,” Vance responded.
Cheney shared a clip from interview at Xprevious Chirpand wrote: “Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The governor of each state had certified the results and sent a legal list of voters. to the congress to be counted.
“The vice president has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternate ballots because his candidate lost. That’s tyranny. Our institutions were held on January 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump chose JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It is our duty to stop them.”
