Republican former national security officials urge party to demand Trump concession
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - More than 100 former Republican national security officials demanded on Monday that party leaders denounce President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the presidential election, calling it a dangerous and anti-democratic assault on U.S. institutions.
Comprising some of the most senior national security officials in the Republican administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Trump, the group decried the failure of most congressional Republicans to condemn Trump's unwillingness to acknowledge Democratic President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the Nov. 3 election.
The group - Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden - which formed in August and whose members campaigned against Trump, was particularly critical of Republican congressional leaders in a published letter.
Most Republicans have remained largely silent while Trump disputes the election results with unsubstantiated claims of widespread election fraud and his legal team pursues increasingly desperate and unsuccessful attempts to overturn Biden's victory.
"By encouraging President Trump's delaying tactics or remaining silent, Republican leaders put American democracy and national security at risk," the group writes.
Members of the group include retired General Michael Hayden, who served as national security director and head of the CIA; William Webster, the only man to serve as both head of the CIA and FBI; and John Negroponte, the first director of national intelligence.
Biden won the election with 306 Electoral College votes - well over the 270 needed for victory - to Trump's 232. Biden also leads Trump by over 6 million in the popular vote.

Who cares what those RINOS think? If the shoe were on the other foot you guys would be crying that we have to overturn every rock and pursue every legal way possible to ensure that we had a fair election.
I just looked up the word hypocrite in the dictionary and unsurprisingly your pictures came up.

The shoe has been on the other foot many times. For 124 years presidents have been conceding when they lost. HE LOST by 6 million votes.

How many LEGAL votes did he lose by? Until that detail is hashed out, President Trump has EVERY right to NOT concede and explore every legal avenue possible to ensure that he in fact lost election.
Why are you so impatient for him to concede if you're so sure he lost? He doesn't have much more time to legally pursue and prove his allegations.

Here is evidence of irregularities in the 2020 presidential election. These are OFFICIAL Nevada websites. The man who researched this is a well-respected attorney who has been practicing law for over 40 years.
Of interest are
the time stamps from 13:55 to 19:45.
Don't you think it behooves us to investigate this along with other states that appear to have election irregularities to ensure that this was a fair and honest election? I strongly suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
But you leftists just want us to lie down and accept the results. RIIIIIGHT!

By delaying with a bunch of bogus lawsuits, Trump has convinced his diehard followers that the election was stolen. Now Biden is supposed to get things done when a good portion of the people don't accept that he is president. There is massive breakdown of trust in this country. We don't trust the election officials in each state who said there was no fraud. We don't trust the owners of Dominion election machines when they say the machines are not capable of switching votes. We don't trust the thousands of poll workers and poll watchers who spent long hours trying to assure us that the vote was correct. We can't afford more years of inaction because we don't trust the other team. The west coast is burning up; the southeast is getting flooded; bridges are falling down; roads need to be repaired; 1000 people a day are dying of a virus while we argue about masks. While we are fighting about who won and everything else we're fighting about, our enemies are seeing that no one is minding the store and they are getting ready to invade. For once can we agree to disagree and get the important stuff taken care of?

Did you watch the video that STRONGLY suggests the need to investigate this and other potential incidences of election fraud that could have cost President Trump the election?
