#BREAKING >> Alabama AG Steve Marshall -- who is the Chair of the Rule of Law Defense Fund, the RAGA org that sponsored & promoted the Jan 6 rally turned deadly riot -- is seeking re-election.

He should be asked about this every day.

A quick thread👇
montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/202… Jan 8 AG Marshall said, he "was unaware of unauthorized decisions," that "it is unacceptable that I was neither consulted about nor informed of those decisions" & that, "those who chose to engage in violence and anarchy should and will be held accountable"

This is gonna be a painful & expensive primary for the Republican Attorneys General Association.

It’s certainly possible this turns into a RAGA v MAGA primary if GPB gets Trump’s endorsement—which, I have to believe, would be incredibly embarrassing for indicted TX AG Ken Paxton Why embarrassing? There are few who attached themselves closer to Trump.

Paxton, along with other Republican AGs, essentially acted as Trump’s personal lawyer…and in the final days even sued to try to overturn the election & spoke at the Jan 6 rally turned deadly riot.

"You would think that a committee made up of some of America’s top law enforcement officials would blanche at being party to an attempt to end the rule of law. But in fact, it’s just the opposite"

@Timodc writes on Republican AGs/RAGA in @BulwarkOnline👇
thebulwark.com/this-week-in-r… "In April, RAGA’s board promoted Peter Bisbee—who oversaw a paid campaign to encourage grassroots supporters to “march on the Capitol to stop the steal”—to the group’s executive director."

The West Virginia Attorney General (& former Chair of the Republican Attorneys General Association) has used the phrase “Defend America” at least 12x when talking about stopping action by a fairly elected President, Senate, & House.

This type of language is dangerous & divisive. ImageImageImageImage These are the same Republican AGs who attacked our democratic institutions repeatedly over the last 6 months, including promoting, sponsoring, and participating in the Jan 6th rally turned deadly riot at the US Capitol.

Colorado AG @pweiser on certifying electoral vote count this week:

"The idea that the Congress’ and Vice President’s role is anything other than counting the electoral votes already certified by the States is an affront to the rule of law and a threat to our democratic republic" "Under the Electoral Count Act, once the States certify the election results and electors cast their ballots, Congress’ only role is ministerial—counting those ballots."
