In the year 2020, when a United States president, for the first time in history, tried to hijack an American election, Floridas elected leaders faced these options:
1. Aid the presidents wrongdoing.
2. Allow the hijacking to take place by remaining silent.
3. Denounce the hijacking and the damage its doing to democracy.
Here in Florida, a few including the governor aided Donald Trumps attempt to overturn the election. Most Republicans, like Floridas U.S. senators, chose to remain silent and do nothing. You can count on one hand the prominent Republicans who spoke out against Trumps efforts and the tactics of his legal team.
Thats how history will remember these Republican men and women of Florida, who chose party and power over a centuries-old tradition of Americans freely choosing a president, followed by a peaceful transfer of power.
Other states can point with pride to Republicans who defied President Donald Trumps efforts to undermine democracy.

My congressman (Rooney) only served 1 term and didn't run for reelection this year. He has mildly criticized the party pondering their blind loyalty to T****. But all of them have blood on their hands as far as I am concerned.
