During an appearance on CNN, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) railed against those still questioning the 2020 presidential election outcome and those looking to shore up the election processes in individual states.

One of the aspects to push back against those elements, according to the Texas Democrat lawmaker, was to ignore former President Donald Trump.

“It’s a self-inflicted wound,” she said. ‘There was no diminishing of trust. There was a great deal of excitement in 2020. When the vote was over, the vote was a peaceful vote in November 2020, and Americans were willing to accept that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had been elected. President Trump knows that he created this lie, and he continued the narrative, and he continued to inflict wounds, but they became bricks, little sticks in the body of the democratic process. And so he has gone across America from Arizona to New Hampshire to Georgia and beyond and now to Texas with this legislation to continue to inflict this wound on the American body politic. He knows his own committee that was established to find fraud had to disintegrate, if you will, because there was nothing there. We say a nothing burger.”
