Rep. Thompson: Donald Trump Broke The Faith in Our System

THOMPSON: “To cast the vote in the United States is an act of faith and hope. When we drop that ballot in the ballot box we expect the people named on the ballot are going to uphold that end of the deal. The winner swears an oath and upholds it. Those who come up should ultimately accept the results and abide by the rule of law. That faith in our system is the foundation of American democracy. If the faith is broken, so is our democracy. Donald Trump broke that faith. He lost the 2020 election and knew it, but he chose to try to stay in office through a multi part scheme to overturn the results.”
