After pushing phony stories of 'Russian interference' and working for an agency that interferes in elections,
ex-CIA agent now Congressman Will Hurd thinks the GOP should accept Joe Biden's win, or risk helping the US' "enemies."
A dozen Republican Senators are getting set to object to the Electoral College's certification of Joe Biden's win in November, unless an "emergency 10-day audit" is held in a number of key swing states won by Biden. The move is also backed by a number of Republican representatives in the House.
However, there's a rival faction of Republicans who want to put allegations of Democrat fraud behind them and go back to business as usual under a Biden administration.
Outgoing Texas Rep. Will Hurd is one of them, and he made a novel argument against questioning the election on Saturday.
As for who these "enemies" are, Hurd was presumably referring to the reliable old specter of
"the Russians." Throughout Trump's four years in office,
Hurd has repeatedly claimed that Moscow meddled in the 2016 election, despite there literally being zero proof for these claims.
