House Republican says he regrets voting against certifying 2020 election results and suggested Trump was a ‘coward’ on January 6 – By Bryan Metzger (Business Insider) / December 22,2021
- Rep. Tom Rice said he regretted voting against certifying the 2020 presidential-election results.
- He said Trump was a “coward” who “did nothing to stop” the Capitol riot and watched it “with pride.”
- Rice was among the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the insurrection.
Republican Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina said in an interview on Wednesday that he regretted voting against certifying the electoral votes of Arizona and Pennsylvania after the January 6 storming of the Capitol.
“In retrospect I should have voted to certify,” Rice told Politico’s Olivia Beavers. “Because President Trump was responsible for the attack on the Capitol.”
According to Politico, this makes him the first of the 147 House Republicans who voted against certifying the election results to publicly express regret over the vote.
