Just using the Trump playbook

Outgoing GOP Rep. Denver Riggleman (Va.) tore into Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) after Hawley sent out a fundraising email boosting his upcoming challenge to the Electoral College results.

“Of course he’s fundraising off fantasy,” Riggleman tweeted. “Getting ready for 2024. Using disinformation and conspiracies as a baseline for fundraising. Grift. Fooling people to take their money. #QAnon and conspiracy theories are the new ‘normal’. Shameful stuff.”

The rebuke comes after Hawley, a staunch ally of President Trump's, said he would object to the counting of Electoral College results during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.

Hawley became the first senator to join an effort by a host of Republican House members to contest the results of the election. His objection will ensure a debate in the House and Senate on the Electoral College tally.

"I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden. At the very least, Congress should investigate allegations of voter fraud and adopt measures to secure the integrity of our elections. But Congress has so far failed to act," Hawley [said].

  The Hill
If by "Congress" he means Republicans, I concur. They've done the exact opposite of adopting measures to secure the integrity of our elections.

How did Facebook and Twitter interfere in the election?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
