Description

You can always count on Massachusetts' congressional delegation to tell you how they really feel about the president. The state's elected Democrats ripped into President Trump's latest attempts at undoing the results of the 2020 election, which was uncovered after the Washington Post published part of a phone call in which Trump asks Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" and overturn his loss there to President-elect Joe Biden. "This is exactly why Donald Trump was impeached," Rep. Katherine Clark tweeted. "It's straight out of his corruption playbook." Sen. Ed Markey said Trump's attempt to pressure Raffensperger to "fix" the election is illegal. "Trump should be brought up on charges," he said. Rep. Jim McGovern said Trump was trying to become a dictator in his attempt to "overthrow the government." "Donald Trump's sickening hatred of our democracy, on tape for all the world to hear," McGovern said.
