refused to answer whether the 2020 election was stolen when pressed eight separate times in a Sunday interview with ABC News’s George Stephanopoulos.
Asked about conservative Rep. Ken Buck’s (R-Colo.) decision to leave Congress and his departing remark that “too many Republican leaders are lying to America, claiming that the 2020 election was stolen,” Scalise avoided responding directly in the interview on ABC News’s “This Week.”
“Well, Ken, I’ve worked with on a number of issues, including getting spending under control, getting our economy back on track.
“Can you say unequivocally the 2020 election was not stolen?” Stephanopoulos asked Scalise, after the congressman detailed several other legislative priorities for the party.
We’re talking about how to get our country back on track, how to get our economy moving, how to stand up to the bad actors around the world,” Scalise said.
Scalise’s refusal to say that the election was fairly decided is reflective of the challenge many GOP politicians face as they try to avoid upsetting the former president — by saying he lost in 2020 — while also trying to move on.
