Asked five occasions (seven, counting rephrases) in about three minutes, Scalise by no means stated the election wasn’t stolen.

White Home senior communications adviser Andrew Bates put out a observation on Sunday afternoon blasting Scalise.

“Election denial is a dangerous conspiracy theory that has finished extraordinary hurt to the united states of america and has been comprehensively debunked by way of over eighty federal judges, as well as the Trump Administration’s nationwide safety officers. Like President Biden stated when Home Republicans won their majority, when Speaker McCarthy was elected, and when Speaker Johnson used to be elected, it is a moment for Republicans and Democrats in Congress to work collectively in excellent faith to search out popular ground on behalf of the American folks and handle the shared challenges families grapple with every day. It is not a time to perpetuate long-discredited conspiracy theories that fueled an assault on the Capitol and tear Americans aside.”
