Oklahoma Senator Lankford is Chair of the Senate Ethics Committee and said he would "step in" if Joe Biden doesn't have access to intelligence briefings by Friday.




Edit: Seemingly back pedaling already.

If he says Biden won then I will agree he has a spine.

As of right now I don't think almost any republican is saying that in public.

He's not saying that Biden won. He's saying there's no negative to giving Biden briefings, even if legal questions and recounts indicate that Trump actually won.

Acknowledging the president-elect five days after the election was called. Real profile in courage.

I'm still amazed a sleazy laughed-at-not-laughed-with reality TV celeb got this far in life. Racism is a helluva drug.

Ridiculous legacy.

Was going to post the " aaaand it's gone" meme but a spine can't disappear if it never existed in the first place

He said the transition should begin *in case* the election goes Biden's way. Wake me when Republicans start acknowledging the reality that the election already went Biden's way.

And thus vertebrate republicans are still extinct, and forever will be.

There's only 4 Republican Senators who have: Collins, Murkowski, Romney & Sasse. I don't see anymore acknowledging it until after Trump stops throwing a tantrum

The greatest compliment we can give to a republican in office right now is that they are fellow vertebrates. How low the bar is.

I may not surprise anyone here, but I guess all Republicans are comprimised. They have lock-hitched their wagon to tRump's base and they are mocking established traditional protocol to placate their God-head. It makes me sick.

Step in and do what? Does he have any power to compel them to do anything
