Preach it...
Matt Becker, former deputy chief of staff and White House liaison in the Bush administration to Emily Murphy today:
"When you serve in the executive branch, you are required to take an oath of office on your first day. Your oath is not to the president of the United States but to the Constitution and the American people. When Emily accepted this leadership role, she also accepted the responsibility to make the tough choices. This is one of those times.
Make no mistake, I absolutely want the Trump campaign to expose fraud, if it is there. As a father, small business owner and lifelong Republican, I do not want a Joe Biden presidency. I simply do not agree with Joe Biden on how to move America forward. But, as an American, I know elections have consequences and my support of our Constitution outweighs my distress at who will be in the Oval Office.
I take no pleasure in writing this. But short of a miracle, Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States. I know many Trump supporters may call me a RINO for this.
Let me be clear, I do not care.
I have served in the executive branch, I have seen the work involved, I know the importance of the transition, and I cannot be silent any more."
...the grown ups are starting to take back control of the conversation?
