Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and his Decepticon henchmen (Thune, Blunt and Barasso), warn the republicans not to object during the January 6th certification the electors.

McConnell fears the sunlight. (Senate Leader Mitch McConnell Warns Republican Senators Not To Challenge 2020 Election Results)
