Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) believes that legislators who don’t agree with the challenge of the electoral votes should consider resigning.

Greene told the Epoch Times earlier today that the challenge was not a trivial thing. 

“It is absolutely not futile,” Greene told The Epoch Times earlier today. “Anyone holding office who doesn’t think they can give the effort to stop our country from plunging into socialism with a stolen election should really resign. They shouldn’t hold office if they don’t think this effort is worth trying.”

Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said yesterday that the challenge would go down “like a shot dog.” 

“The thing they’ve got to remember is, it’s just not going anywhere,” Newsmax reported Thune said. “I mean, in the Senate, it would go down like a shot dog. And I just don’t think it makes a lot of sense to put everybody through this when you know what the ultimate outcome is going to be.”

Thune made the comments after several House Republicans met with Trump to discuss voter fraud and the challenges set to be brought up when the next Congress convenes in January.

Reps. Mo Brooks (R-Huntsville), Matt Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach), Jim Jordan (R-Urbana), Louie Gohmert (R-Tyler), Andy Biggs (R-Gilbert), Scott Perry (R-Dillsburg) and Jody Hice (R-Bethlehem), as well as Greene, were in attendance at the Trump meeting.

In order to object, there needs to be members from both chambers in agreement to file the objection in writing. Trump has said Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) has agreed to sign onto the challenge on Jan. 6 after being sworn in on Jan. 3.

Some Senate Republicans, like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), have urged Republicans to not object, worrying it will harm the party.

Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said earlier this week that it would likely do more harm than good, Newsmax reported.
