Sen. Klobuchar Falsely Claims No Democrats Objected to 2016 Electoral Vote Certification

EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: “Okay, so I have much issues with what you just said because I’m thinking back to 2016 when, in fact, Hillary Clinton conceded the election, when in fact we had an Electoral College, I know because Senator Blunt and I were in charge of it and Vice President, then vice President Biden was presiding over it and it went through. We didn’t object to those results. Then, let’s fast forward to the day of the insurrection, to January 6, when in fact, you, Senator Cruz, not all of your colleagues here today, you were contesting the Electoral College. You were leading, one of the leaders on the effort to say that the election results were not correct. And so you wonder why we want to make sure that people have the right to vote. Well, it’s because of this kind of rhetoric and this kind of behavior and an insurrection at the Capitol and a former president that is still maintaining that he somehow won the election when we all know it’s not true. And so, that’s why, if you ask why we are still interested in protecting our democracy from that day of January 6 on, I think that’s your answer.”
