Monday, Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) weighed in on the GOP senators who continued to support the electoral vote challenge following the Wednesday riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“CNN Newsroom” host Poppy Harlow asked Cardin if Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) and others should be “expelled from the Senate” for voting against certifying the Electoral College vote for the 2020 presidential election even after the deadly riot.
“Even after the insurrection, even after the domestic terrorists attacked all of you inside the Capitol, six senators, six of your colleagues in the Senate, and 138 members of the House still voted against certifying the election,” Harlow noted.
She asked, “I wonder what you think, for example, Senator Hawley and Senator Cruz — should they be expelled from the Senate?”
Cardin did not call for the senators to resign but did agree with President-elect Joe Biden that he hopes their constituents “would hold them accountable.” He added the senators “violated the Constitution and the oath that they took in becoming a senator.”
Cardin is Blue all the way through.
The riot should have had nothing to do with certification or the debates over the vote.
Republicans chickened out.
Deeper inspection will out Democrats as being the owners of the true violence.
Cardin sucks no dough but he is a true believer that the Democratic party is the only party and the people of the country should shut the f up because only the Democrats in power know how to run things
The only thing these despicable evil dumbocrats know about the constitution is what messiah obumdumb said that the constitution was an obstacle to his goals.
Spoken like a true communist pig!
Cardin is a career politician who is a total idiot. By him stating this proves he knows nothing about the US Constitution or the MD Constitution. Cardin the CLOWN is a Pelosi puppet who has done nothing for Marylanders. He has never had a job except for a puppet politician all his life.
Just another worthless Socialist Liberal pushing Communist agenda.
Someone opened the crypt early and let Ben out. His appearances generally occur in the 6 to 8 weeks prior to an election.
Sen. Cruz (one of the most successful advocates in appearances before SCOTUS) and Sen Hawley (former AG of Missouri, aka The Show Me State) were actually at the Senate doing what ALL senators should have been doing – actually looking to see if a free and fair election had been held in accordance with the US Constitution, and the Constitutions of the various states.
Their information showed widespread election fraud on a large scale in a number of states. Thus they, and a number of other Representatives and Senators, were actually following the process and procedure specified in the US Constitution for laying out in public their objections and the facts supporting their conclusions.
They should be saluted for their active fidelity to the Constitution!
Cardin abides by the communist manifesto..would nt know the constitution if it hit him inthe face. He is a traitor and not performing his oath to protect us from all enemies foriegn and domestic…
