NEW: Mississippi's senior U.S. senator, Roger Wicker, has come out AGAINST the plot by some in his party to overthrow American democracy and stop the elected incoming administration from taking power.
"I don’t think it’s a good idea," he said. mississippifreepress.org/7954/rep-palaz…

U.S. House Rep. Steven Palazzo says he backs the plot to overturn the 2020 election.
“I cannot idly stand by and watch Mississippi be disenfranchised" by swing states like Georgia having their electoral votes counted, Palazzo said. mississippifreepress.org/7954/rep-palaz…

U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson, the only Democrat in Mississippi’s congressional delegation, criticized Palazzo:
“How can any Member of Congress challenge the legitimacy of Trump’s defeat when they were elected from the SAME ballot?” he wrote. mississippifreepress.org/7954/rep-palaz…

These other Republicans in Mississippi's congressional delegation, who all ran as vigorously pro-Trump candidates, have been notably silent about the plot to overturn the election:
-Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith
-Rep. Michael Guest

Sen. Roger Wicker's refusal to support the attempt to overturn the election earned praise from Mississippi Republican Brice Wiggins, a powerful state senator who said Wicker deserves credit for “respecting the Constitution and states’ autonomy.” mississippifreepress.org/7954/rep-palaz…
