WASHINGTON—Former Congressman Bob McEwan attended a rally at the nation’s capital near the Supreme Court where thousands had come to protest the handling of the presidential election.
“The nation has never seen this level of injustice before and the people are aroused,” McEwan said.Thousands gathered to join marches and rallies in Washington on Dec. 12, petitioning the government for fair elections and transparent counting. Similar grassroots protests took place every Saturday since the general election in capitals across the 50 states.
If the courts do not insert themselves to correct violations of state constitutions as we’ve seen in states like Pennsylvania, McEwan said, then there may be no recourse this election cycle and the people need to make sure bad actors are removed from office before “we can have an honest election.”
“In order to have self-government, you need to have self-discipline. As John Adams said, this Constitution was made for a moral and a religious people. It’s wholly inadequate to the government of any other. And if a person is dishonest and corrupt then they will destroy New York, they will destroy the state of California, and could possibly our country, and that is what we are here to prevent,” McEwan said.McEwan said the news media and social media have played a major part in the injustice.
