Whip Emmer on the Colorado Supreme Court’s reference to the January 6th Committee’s report:

“Let's just put it on the table right away. Voters should decide elections, not liberal activist judges. Look, the Nancy Pelosi committee that was set up to study this thing and do a report was a sham. It was a one-sided deal. They like to say that there were Republicans, but there were a couple of people on that committee that were leaving the Congress and they were leaving the Republican party quite frankly.” 

Whip Emmer’s reaction to the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision:

“You’ve got all Democrats appointed to the Colorado Supreme Court, and they ruled 4 to 3 that somehow Donald Trump should not be allowed on the ballot because of the 14th Amendment. You’ve already had 5 states, Lawrence, throw this ridiculous thing out. This is election interference, and really, I think our Supreme Court will take care of it in short order.” 

Whip Emmer on where we go from here:

“We do not want Congress running our state-based election system. That's exactly what Democrats would like. They would like to have it all happen out of Washington, D.C. because it would be easier to control. The state-based system works, and I think we have to trust in our Supreme Court to actually do the work – the U.S. Supreme Court that decides constitutional issues, by the way, U.S. constitutional issues. I have a feeling that they will tell this state court very shortly that decision is flawed. We are not going to let a partisan court interfere with the election, and Donald Trump will be restored to the ballot.”
