Maine Senator Angus King, an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats criticizes ME Secretary of State's decision to remove Trump from the ballot: "I believe the decision as to whether or not Mr. Trump should again be considered for the presidency should rest with the people as expressed in free and fair elections. This is the ultimate check within our Constitutional system.”
@RpsAgainstTrump If "the people" actually had the last word on anything, the popular vote would have precluded Trump from ever setting foot in the WH in the first place.
@RpsAgainstTrump These are just political statements that are meant to keep the GOP base calm.
@RpsAgainstTrump Why is doing the right thing and holding Trump accountable for his actions so hard for these people?
@RpsAgainstTrump Just say you oppose the constitution so everyone understands.
@RpsAgainstTrump Angus... what if he murdered someone? You'd still want the people to decide? If not, then where's the line?
@RpsAgainstTrump I believe that the guy who tried to steal my vote from the last election should be nowhere near the next election.
@RpsAgainstTrump A reasonable opinion, especially coming from a reasonable person like Senator King. But Maine law rests the decision with the Secretary of State, subject to review by the courts.
@RpsAgainstTrump Imagine that. A leftist who believes in democracy.
@RpsAgainstTrump The people spoke in 2020. And Trump attempted to overthrow their will. Angus King is wrong.
