Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley Statement on the Deliberate Disruption of the Peaceful Transfer of Federal Executive Power
MILWAUKEE, WI – The following is the statement of Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley:
“It is a sad and dark day for our country when more than 100 House members, a dozen Senators, and the President of the United States incite domestic terrorism and attempt to delay or disrupt the peaceful transfer of power of the presidency.
“Today’s events are a humiliating day for this country, but it was weeks in the making as the President encouraged the overturn of a democratic election. This is nothing short of an attack on American Democracy and the rule of law, an attack that must be brought to an end immediately. Congress must be allowed to complete a peaceful transfer of power and get back to the working on behalf of the American people.”
