Pennsylvania held its swearing-in ceremony at the state Capitol building in Harrisburg on Tuesday.
But, the new session of the Pennsylvania Senate got off to a rocky start when republicans refused to seat a Democratic senator who was certified by the state as the winner.
Senate Republicans, who hold the majority, refused to let Pennsylvania Senator Jim Brewster take the oath of office.
It gets wilder.
When democrat Lt. Governor John Fetterman came to Brewster’s defense, the republicans removed him as presiding officer over the ceremony for failing to follow the rules and recognize their legislative motions.
“The chair does not find that in order,” Fetterman declared, which led to his ousting, according to CBS Philadelphia.
“The ayes are 14 and the nays are 11,” republican President Pro Tempore Jake Corman ruled, “and the Lieutenant Governor has been removed from the Senate for the day.”
Fetterman refused to leave, and when he called on Brewster to take the oath, Corman refused to allow senators to be sworn in with Brewster present.
Ultimately, Brewster withdrew.
“I am disappointed that it didn’t happen, but at some point in time they’re going to have to do that,” Brewster said. “The election’s over. We won the election. We got more votes.”
His opponent, republican Nicole Ziccarelli, hopes that mail-in ballots with un-dated envelopes will be disqualified and she will thus be seated.
“I have won the election in Senate District 45 after all legally cast ballots have been counted,” she said.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Senate Republican caucus accused Fetterman of “hijacking” the order and decorum of the Senate, and said they would act without display of partisanship, CBS Pittsburgh reports.
A breath of fresh air coming from fellow Republicans! Pa is going to suffer tremendously due to the FRAUD not just voter FRAUD but Ballot counters fraud!
This election was stolen with Dominion’s software and it should be banned from any further use!
Great job. It’s too bad we don’t have enough Republican senators that will do the same for President Trump.
It’s about time some Republican stood up to these communist clowns. Now, get the military involved to confiscate all the dominium voting machines and ballots for an extensive audit. If there is nothing wrong, we should start a gofundme page to help reimburse the costs. The dimocrats are refusing to allow an audit because it could openly show that the election was fraudulent. That is the ONLY reason they oppose the audit
The best news I have heard yet!
PA gop failed to prevent voter fraud that cost trump the presidency It is an embarrassment to the nation.
Nothing will be done just a bunch of hot air been blowing up everyone’s ass since PELOSI Schumer and the other politicians who SAT quietly and didn’t voice the people they represent, voters have no voice no choice no America. Every person who HAD a part in the coup of our great nation should be ashamed MORE important should be very afraid of God AND the judgement YOU will face.
What I recommend that everyone stay off twitter and Facebook and put these companies out of business. They can go to Parlor and speak freely until another company comes up with something besides China
Mewe is another good one along with Parlor I like them both hate FB and never did use Twitter. Thank you to Parlor for being here. We need you!
The problem is that nobody will ever be punished. Just like Hillary. A lot of noise and nothing. That’s why these people are doing this. They have figured out that there are no consequences. Same as the rioters and looters.
Perhaps this is the first step in restoring control election law to the PA General Assembly. The ballots that allegedly gave Brewster the victory were not valid according to law. A judge ruled that they could be accepted anyway in contravention to law.
Either election laws matter or they don’t.
As a lifelong Pennsylvanian, I am grateful.
OMG finally showing some guts! Democrat/Socialist are lying, cheating dogs. Shut them down.
Good work!
About time there was some push back to wrongs that are done.
Wish other republicans would support our country like that and not certify Biden He is a joke
Finally, Republicans are showing we do have Backbones and believe in EVERY VOTE COUNTS WHEN DONE LEAGALY! Thank you
What us happening regarding the Leonardo fraud in Ital?. I have asked this question on Parler to SydneybPowell, Hannity and a host of others. Is it real about the Affidavit?
