Effort To Disqualify Trump Is A Betrayal Of American Democracy
Two leftist lawyers are attempting to overturn the 2024 election by urging Congress to disqualify President-elect Donald Trump under the 14th Amendment. Their proposal disregards the will of millions of voters and sets a dangerous precedent for future elections.
Evan Davis and David Schulte base their claims on three points. They first cite Trump’s second impeachment trial, where seven Republicans voted to convict him. However, the Senate’s acquittal confirmed the charges did not hold up.
Jamie Raskin is saying that congress will STOP Trump from taking office even if he’s chosen by the voters.
This is extremely dangerous. Every Democrat needs to be on the record about this immediately. pic.twitter.com/9IwRoGrrQu

Next, they reference the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling disqualifying Trump, which was invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court ruled that states lack the authority to bar federal candidates.
The democrats are threatening to not certify elections. This is treason against President Trump and Americans. Don't forget he said this.

Finally, they rely on findings from the January 6 Committee, which has faced widespread criticism for procedural misconduct. The House Oversight Committee has since debunked many of the committee’s claims, finding no evidence that Trump incited violence or encouraged rioters.

The lawyers propose rejecting Trump’s electoral votes and installing Kamala Harris as president. Critics say this scheme betrays the democratic process by overturning the will of the American people.
LET’S BE CLEAR: PRESIDENT TRUMP WON THE POPULAR VOTE AND ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE (WITHOUT CHEATING):
REP. RASKIN: "It's gonna be up to us on January 6, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he's disqualified."

The plan echoes objections raised by Republicans during Joe Biden’s certification in 2020, further highlighting the hypocrisy of its proponents.
The hill, along with Jaime raskin, are plotting an insurrection against President Trump.
