Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) is slamming her Republican colleagues for not publicly acknowledging Joe Biden as the president-elect.
Appearing on CNN with Anderson Cooper Tuesday evening, Demings was asked if her Republican colleagues say behind the scenes that Biden is the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Demings took aim at President Donald Trump, “I think we all know that the current President of the United States will do and say anything and nothing that he does surprises me anymore.”
She added, “But certainly the behavior of my colleagues, who used to say that they didn’t really support a lot that the president was doing but they were afraid of political repercussions…their behavior in this election is really disgraceful.”
“All of them, I heard, have been asked who won the election — only 27 out of 249 acknowledged that Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States.”
Demings said that she does not “expect better” from Trump, but she does “expect better from the members of Congress,” adding, “I think it’s absolutely shameful what they’re doing. And we see the results of this totally out of touch with reality behavior.”
