“Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen or talks about the election being stolen is lying to America,” Buck said.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck laid into his own party Sunday, blasting those who continue
to propagate the lie that the 2020 election was stolen for “lying to America.”
“Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen or talks about the election being stolen
is lying to America,” the Colorado Republican said during an interview in CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
Buck didn’t stop there.
“Everyone who makes the argument that January 6 was, you know, an unguided tour of
the Capitol is lying to America. Everyone who says that the prisoners who are being prosecuted
right now for their involvement in January 6, that they are somehow political prisoners or that
they didn’t commit crimes, those folks are lying to America.”
It’s not the first time Buck, a member of the Trump-aligned House Freedom Caucus, has
decried his party’s unwillingness to accept the results of Biden’s 2020 victory or condemn
the violent attack on the Capitol. The Colorado Republican voiced a similar warning earlier
this month in announcing that he would not seek reelection in 2024.
“Too many Republican leaders are lying to America,” he said in his announcement video in early November.
Buck didn’t name former President Donald Trump, who has brandished lies about the 2020 election and elevated Jan. 6 rioters (calling them “hostages” earlier this month) on his seemingly runaway road to the GOP presidential nomination. But he pleaded with his party to defeat President Joe Biden with “someone who’s not lying to the country.”
