THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
AND CONGRATULATIONS ON BREAKING
THE STORY.
ANNA PALMER AND SHANNON
PETTYPIECE.
THANK YOU AS WELL.
>>> CONGRESSMAN KEN BUCK, THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE.
I WANT TO BE WHERE WE JUST LEFT
OFF.
LET ME JUST PLAY THAT POINT IN THE CALL AGAIN FOR EVERYBODY TO
THE CALL AGAIN FOR EVERYBODY TO
HEAR.
SO LOOK.
I JUST WANT TO FIND 11780 VOTES.
WE WON THE STATE AND FLIPPING
THE STATE IS A GREAT TESTAMENT
TO OUR COUNTRY.
>> CONGRESSMAN, WHAT DO YOU MAKE
OF THAT?
WHAT DOES HE MEAN WHEN HE SAYS
FIND 11,780 VOTES?
>> I THINK IF YOU PUT THEM IN
CONTEXT, HE IS SAYING HE BELIEVE
THERE’S ARE 500,000 VOTE THAT’S
WERE FRAUDULENTLY CAST.
THAT THERE WERE DEAD PEOPLE THAT
VOTED, HE BELIEVES.
HE BELIEVE THERE’S WERE ILLEGAL
IMDWRANTS THAT VOTED.
HE BELIEVES OTHER SHENANIGANS
OCCURRED, AND THAT THE RESULT
WOULD BE IF THEY WERE COUNTED
PROPERLY, THE RESULT WOULD BE
THAT HE WOULD WIN THE ELECTION.
I GIVE CREDIT TO THE SECRETARY
OF DATE OF GEORGIA.
A NUMBER OF RECOUNTS HAVE BEEN
DONE IN GEORGIA.
AND THE SECRETARY OF STATE STOOD
HIS GROUND AND MADE IT CLEAR
THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE DID
NOT AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT’SER
ER THIS
THEORY.
>> HE MAY BELIEVE IT, BUT THE
TRUTH IS THOSE VOTES THAT HE IS
CONTENTING ARE FRAUDULENT,
THAT’S JUST NOT TRUE.
THERE HAVE BEEN LEGAL CASES ON
THIS.
THEY HAVE DONE MULTIPLE
RECOUNTS.
LET ME ASK YOU THIS, WHY WAS
THIS A BRIG TO FAR FOR YOU
PERSONALLY?
A BRIDGE TOO FAR FOR YOU TO
SUPPORT?
>> I’M NOT IN AGREEMENT THAT THE
ELECTOR PACKAGES BEING SENT TO
THE HOUSE, OR BEING SENT TO
CONGRESS, SHOULD BE CHALLENGED.
I THINK THE CONSTITUTION GIVES
US A VERY CLEAR DUTY.
THE VICE PRESIDENT WILL OPEN THE
ENVELOPES AND CONGRESS WILL
COUNT THE ELECTORS.
I THINK THAT OUR JOB IS NOT TO
SECOND GUESS WHAT THE STATES DO.
I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THE
ELECTORAL COLLEGE AND THAT RURAL
STATES LIKE COLORADO ARE GIVEN
AN OPPORTUNITY TO ELECT A
PRESIDENT, AND I THINK WE HAVE
TO RESPECT OUR ROLE AS CONGRESS
AND NOT SECOND GAS WHATUESS WHAT
STATES ARE DOING.
>> WHY DO YOU THINK SO MANY
FELLOW REPUBLICANS ARE NOT
REPUBLICANING THE PROCESS?
>> I THINK IT IS CLEAR THIS
PRESIDENT HAS BEEN TREATED
UNFAIRLY IN THE LAST FOUR OR
FIVE YEARS.
HE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE
FBI.
HE WAS IMPEACHED ON VERY SLIM
EVIDENCE, AND THE IMPEACHMENT
WAS A POLITICAL ISSUE TO CHANGE
THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION.
AND I THINK A LOT OF VOTERS,
MILLIONS, BELIEVE THE ELECTION
HAS BEEN UNFAIR.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS AMERICANS
IT PUT ASIDE PARTISANSHIP AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE STEP FORWARD
AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND THAT
WE ALSO INVESTIGATE THESE
ELECTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE
CREDIBILITY THAT OCCURRED WITH
THE ELECTIONS.
IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST SAY
YOU’RE WRONG, SHUT UP AND SIT
DOWN --
>> IS IT ENOUGH TO SAY THAT HE
BELIEVES HE HAS BEEN TREATED
UNFAIRLY AND THAT’S WHY IT IS
OKAY TO DO THIS?
THAT’S WHY IT IS OKAY TO THROW
AROUND A EXPERIENCECONSPIRACY TH
TO SAY NO ONE WAS NICE TO HIM SO
WE HAVE TO DO THIS NOW.
>> NO, I DON’T THINK IT HAS TO
DO WITH THAT.
YOU DON’T GREAT FALSE AFFIDAVITS
BECAUSE OF NICETIES.
HE HAS BEEN ATTACKED MORE THAN
ANY PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF
THIS COUNTRY.
AND THERE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE
NATURALLY SKEPTICAL.
I THINK AS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL WE
HAVE A DUE I DID TO MAKE SURE
THAT ALL AMERICANS HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN OUR SYSTEM.
>> DO YOU TAKE ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FANNING THE
FLAMES ON THIS?
YOU SIGNED ON TO THE TEXAS
LAWSUIT RESPECTFULLY.
YOU HAVE GIVEN A LOT OF VOTERS
OUT THERE AN IDEA THAT THE
ELECTION WAS NOT FAIR AND THIS
IS WHAT IS COMING TO PASS
BECAUSE OF IT.
>> YEAH, NO, I AM THE STATE
REPUBLICAN PARTY CHAIR IN
COLORADO.
I EXAMINED CAREFULLY THE
ELECTION IN COLORADO.
I MADE A STATEMENT VERY EARLY ON
THAT THE ELECTION IN COLORADO
WAS REDBLE, FAIR, AND DONE
PROPERLY.
IT WAS NOT WIDESPREAD VOTER
FRAUD, BUT I BELIEVE THE
PRESIDENT AND ANY OTHER
CANDIDATE HAS THE ABILITY TO
PURSUE LEGAL AVENUES.
AND I SUPPORTED HIS PURSUIT OF
THOSE LEGAL AVENUES.
THROES NOW OVER.
WE HAVE THE ENVELOPES, WE WILL
OPEN THEM WEDNESDAY AND WE WILL
COUNT THE VOTES.
I DON’T THINK THAT QUESTIONING,
INVESTIGATIONING, AND LOOKING AT
RESULTS IS FANNING THE FLAMES.
WHEN YOU PROMOTE FALSE
NARRATIVES, I THINK THAT MAY BE
UNFAIR.
BUT I THINK PURSUING YOUR LEGAL
RIGHTS IS JUST PART OF THE
PROCESS.
>> THERE ARE MILLIONS OF
AMERICAN THAT’S DON’T TRUST THIS
PROCESS NOW AND THEY POINT TO
CASES AND STATEMENT THAT’S A LOT
OF REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN MAKING
ABOUT THIS ELECTION.
AND NOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AT
LEAST SOME OF THEM, ARE TRYING
TO PUT OUT THIS FIRE.
DO YOU SEE AN ABILITY TO DO SO
GOING FORWARD?
DO YOU TRUST AN AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY AFTER THIS?
>> I HOPE SO, I THINK IT IS PART
OF OUR DUTY TO LOOK AT WHAT
HAPPENED.
THERE IS SOME ELECTION FRAUD IN
EVERY ELECTION.
WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE
IS NOT WIDESPREAD ELECTION
FRAUD, AND WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE
SURE IT IS PROSECUTED.
I THINK THAT CAN BE COMMUNICATED
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
I THINK THIS WAS REALLY UNUSUAL
BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE
MADE AS A RESULT OF THE
PANDEMIC.
I THINK THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN IN
THE FUTURE AND I THINK WE CAN
