GOP senator says Trump’s election allegations are unfounded

1 00:00:00,540 –> 00:00:05,940 >> You voted to certify the election last year. You condemned the protest as an insurrection. 2 00:00:05,940 –> 00:00:11,730 What do you say to all those Republicans all those veterans who believe the election was stolen who bought the 3 00:00:11,730 –> 00:00:15,630 false it’s coming from former President Trump. 4 00:00:15,630 –> 00:00:21,360 >> We looked as a part of our due diligence we looked at over 60 different accusations made 5 00:00:21,360 –> 00:00:26,520 in multiple states while there were some irregularities. There were none of the 6 00:00:26,520 –> 00:00:32,310 irregularities which would have risen to the point where they would have changed the vote outcome in a single state 7 00:00:32,310 –> 00:00:38,610 . The election was fair as fair as we’ve seen. 8 00:00:38,610 –> 00:00:44,460 We simply did not win the election as Republicans for the presidency and moving forward 9 00:00:44,460 –> 00:00:47,070 and that’s the way we want to look at this moving forward. 10 00:00:47,130 –> 00:00:52,500 >> We have to refocus once again on what it’s going to take to win the presidency and if we simply look back and 11 00:00:52,500 –> 00:00:58,410 tell our people don’t vote because you know there’s cheating going on then we’re going to put ourselves in 12 00:00:58,410 –> 00:01:03,780 a huge disadvantage. So moving forward let’s focus on what it takes to win those elections. We 13 00:01:03,780 –> 00:01:09,180 can do that but we have to let people know that they can they can believe in they can have confidence that 14 00:01:09,180 –> 00:01:14,460 those elections are fair and and that is in every single state that 15 00:01:14,460 –> 00:01:19,860 we looked at. But that shield of the presidency does not exist for someone who 16 00:01:19,860 –> 00:01:21,440 is a former president. 17 00:01:21,600 –> 00:01:27,070 >> Everybody separately could you support President Trump if he runs again. I’m sorry 18 00:01:27,070 –> 00:01:31,250 . Could you support President Trump if he runs again. 19 00:01:31,350 –> 00:01:37,230 >> I’ll take a hard look at it. Personally what I’ve told people is that I’m going to support the Republican nominee to 20 00:01:37,230 –> 00:01:41,090 be president. I’m not sure that the eventual nominee has even shown up yet.
