GOP senators' strategy on Trump's fraud claims: Keep quiet and carry on

Texas Sen. John Cornyn, a member of McConnell’s leadership team, said Monday that the “verdict was rendered, and I think that’s becoming clearer by the minute” and that he’s “already moving on” to prepare for the incoming Biden administration…

“I think making serious accusations of fraud and an election theft without seriously presenting evidence of substantial fraud is irresponsible and dangerous,” Romney said Monday night.

But those concerns remain few and far between among Senate Republicans.

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, asked if GOP senators should speak up, said: “Well I mean I think that, if your question is should we be criticizing him, then I think what you’re getting at in my view is that the President has every right to present his case in every court that he wants to go to and has every right to be heard. And I think we are going to have to look at the effect of mail-in balloting.”
