Some Republican text messages about the 1/6 coup attempt

Christofascism on TikTok

There is a lot of it out there

Homegirl found some of the text messages that Talking Points Memo published yesterday:

The Messages Included Battle Cries, Crackpot Legal Theories, And ‘Invoking Marshall Law!!’ By Hunter Walker, Josh Kovensky and Emine Yücel | December 12, 2022 5:34 p.m. 

Jason Miller to Mark Meadows: FYI…So I asked Ali Pardo from our press shop to get in touch with Rep. Mo Brooks’ office since he seems to be the ringleader on the Jan 6th deal. They say they will have as many as 50 members on board 1/6…but we won’t have a list of names until Sunday or Monday. This may not surprise you, but no one from the legal team has made contact with them at all. They request examples of fraud, numbers, names, whatever supporting evidence can be provided. We’ve now supplied that, but our legal squad isn’t exactly buttoned up. I bring this up for a simple reason – if we’re hoping to move real numbers on the 6th, I think we need to quickly start mobilizing our real-deal allies. I’m ready to go, I have bodies to help, will follow your lead. 

Mark Meadows reply: Thanks Jason. You are the best. I will bring it up with potus and I plan to meet with them on Saturday. 

Jim Jordan to Mark Meadows: On January 6, 2021, Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, should call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all — in accordance with guidance from founding father Alexander Hamilton and judicial precedence. �No legislative act,� wrote Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78, �contrary to the Constitution, can be valid.� �The court in Hubbard v. Lowe reinforced this truth: ��That an unconstitutional statute is not a law at all is a proposition no longer open to discussion.� �226 F. 135, 137 (SDNY 1915), appeal dismissed, 242 U.S. 654 (1916). � Following this rationale, an unconstitutionally appointed elector, like an unconstitutionally enacted statute, is no elector at all. 

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) to Meadows on January 17, 2021: Mark, in seeing what’s happening so quickly, and reading about the Dominion law suits attempting to stop any meaningful investigation we are at a point of � no return � in saving our Republic !! "Our LAST HOPE is invoking Marshall Law!! PLEASE URGE TO PRESIDENT TO DO SO!!" 

Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) to Meadows on Nov. 6, just after the Nov. 3, 2020 elections: Mark, When we lose Trump we lose our Republic. Fight like hell and find a way. We’re with you down here in Texas and refuse to live under a corrupt Marxist dictatorship. Liberty! Babin

It is fact that the 1/6 event was a coup attempt supported by a sitting Republican president and some Republican members of congress. IMO, those people should be tried and jailed for life. Those Republicans apparently seriously believed Trump's crackpot lies and conspiracies about a stolen election. They believed it without one shred of evidence. Some of them apparently seriously believe that the Democratic Party wants to establish a Marxist dictatorship. Now, the fascist GOP publicly stated that it will shut down further investigation on Jan. 3, 2023, the day the fascist Republicans take control of the House. That undeniably shows the GOP’s support for the 1/6 coup attempt. Establishment of an authoritarian regime, probably a bigoted, ruthless Christofascist kleptocracy is the fascist goal.
