Matt Rosendale swore an oath on January 3rd to uphold the Constitution. He is now one of its greatest threats. In the days leading up to the insurrection on January 6th, he vouched for the conspiracy theories and outright lies that fueled the violence in our nation’s Capital. When elected officials like him tell the American people that it's ok to doubt the legitimacy of our elections even after dozens of court cases and every state election official across the country says otherwise it should come as no surprise to him that some of those Americans commit violent acts. 

Both Representative Rosendale and Senator Daines intended to object to the lawfully certified votes submitted by the states. Unlike Senator Daines, who must also be held responsible, Rep. Rosendale still voted object to those sacred votes even after what he witnessed. He had seen with his own eyes what undermining our democracy leads to and decided to do it anyway.

Representative Rosendale has made clear what he believes and who he supports. He has demonstrated an absolute contempt for our nation’s laws and for the lives of his own fellow representatives. He does not deserve to hold the seat to which he lays claim and should resign.
