One of several times @RobWittman responded with the same letter re: #publicbroadcasting funding. He voted to cut previously, bi-partisan approved funding anyway. The “impartiality” remark is part his disingenuous cover. @RobWittman #RobWittman #pbs

@PeterCassizzi #RobWittman has been re-elected to Congress for 8 terms now. He’s perfected this grift & his district was recently redrawn in a manor that will probably keep him secure for the next decade as well. As a resident of #VA1 for 20 years, I am crestfallen that my fellow constituents continue fall for his schtick, and that they overlooked his willingness to just go along with Green Bay Sweep/false electors coup plot. He also has introduced personhood bills to Congress.

so that’s exactly what #RobWittman did. PA was one of the seven states targeted by Navarro’s supposed-to-be-bloodless “Green Bay Sweep” false slate of electors plot. Wittman even mentions “check to make sure there aren’t alternate slates of electors” in the 1/9 article! He’s covering his ass JUST IN CASE somehow a false elector plot could succeed some day. He’s just so slimy. I am so profoundly ashamed that this sleazebag represents the district in which I live.

The more #January6th #transcripts I read, the more clearly I understand how my rep #RobWittman seized the opportunity to reject PA electors to score some safe cred with his MAGA voters.
BECAUSE the violent mob FAILED to create a long enough delay of certification he knew that AFTER that plan fell through, it would be SAFE for him to claim “it’s not about overturning the election”

“The docs also highlight that none other than Sen. Mike Lee recognized by 12/30/20 that Jan. 6 was "a dangerous idea" and that he was looking for ways to satisfy the election deniers while "obviat[ing]" the need for their 1/6 "plan." 3/”

#J6 committee #FakeSlates of #Electors. What did #RobWittman know? And if Wittman KNEW his vote wasn’t going to change #2020election results BEFORE Jan 6th, why didn’t he say so publicly before Jan 6th—when he could’ve possibly prevented his Big Lie believing constituents from participating in the insurrection? I’m guessing Wittman wanted a foot in both camps, just in case the MAGA mob successfully stopped the transfer of power & got their false electors through.
