Crawford knew better

Mr. Crawford, shame on you for objecting to certifying the presidential electors on Jan. 6. You know that the 2020 election was the most secure and fair election in U.S. history, as noted by sober, responsible public officials who are much more knowledgeable than you.

Investigations and recounts by honest election officials have confirmed that no significant election fraud occurred. Every objection to election results was determined to be without merit by legitimate courts. Thankfully, the courts are the backstop for undemocratic, unconstitutional actions like yours. The electors before Congress represented the real will of “The People,” including me and a clear majority of citizens who voted in the 2020 presidential election. You know this all.

Your objection to the certification of the electors was an unpatriotic, cynical, politically calculated action that puts you among the most despicable sycophants on the planet. You, sir, are a threat to American democracy. We reject ridiculous, fantastical, fictional conspiracy theories posed by Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other authoritarian countries that they use to “explain” inconvenient truths that they refuse to acknowledge, like you have.

You, sir, are much worse, however.

You have grown up in a democratic society, live in a country with longestablished democratic institutions, and have access to a free press. You

know better. Yet, with all this knowledge, history and support, you lowered yourself lower than a snake’s belly to lick the boots of the Liar-in-Chief and placate the unknowing mobs that have been misled by his lies. Shame, shame!

When the good people of Arkansas send you packing in 2022, maybe you can get a job as a golf caddie at one of the Great Liar’s golf resorts. In my opinion, you have demonstrated that you are qualified for no position higher than carrying heavy objects for lazy, narcissistic oafs. JAMES GILSON North Little Rock
