Taxpayers Protection Alliance Condemns Actions of President Trump and Allies Regarding Electoral College Certification

Washington, D.C. – Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) President David Williams and Vice President of Policy Patrick Hedger issued the following joint statement about the violent protests surrounding the certification of the Electoral College vote:

“While we are a nonpartisan group that does not engage in matters related directly to elections, as a taxpayer and consumer watchdog group based in Washington, D.C., we cannot stay silent about the events that unfolded today. What has occurred is beyond intolerable. President Trump and many of his staunchest allies are directly responsible for fomenting the violence and assault upon our constitutional republic today. This is a physical attack on the Capitol and an attack on our democracy. Those responsible or supportive of what occurred today have no place in our politics or policymaking going forward.

“While we will not always agree with elected officials and policymakers, TPA is committed to voicing our disagreements in a civil manner. We hope other individuals and organizations join us in this commitment, as we look to heal the deep wounds our country has suffered over the last year.”
