Forward Kentucky: Press Release: ‘The GOP can and must stop the delusion and return to reality.’
Today, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) released the statement below regarding President Trump, the Trump Administration, and Congressional Republicans’ continued attack on our democracy in refusing to accept the results of the 2020 election and begin the necessary transition process:
“We face a worsening pandemic and a weak economic recovery that is now slowing. This is when government can be the difference between life or death for hundreds of thousands. But instead of helping Americans in crisis, the GOP is propping up a made-for-TV coup with no chance of success. Aside from the crises we face, Republican officials have betrayed their oaths to the constitution and continue to undermine the most sacred pillars of American democracy in the eyes of the world for nearly nothing – to send fundraising emails and appease Trump’s fragile ego.
