NRCC Chair: Pelosi ‘Trying to Subvert Democracy’ by Overturning Certified House Election

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), told SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday House Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) are “trying to subvert democracy” and “disenfranchise the Iowa voters” by attempting to “overturn certified election results” in Iowa.

Emmer continued, “As you say, she hasn’t issued any new comment on the socialist Democrats’ efforts to subvert the will of the Iowa voters since...
