Dennis Prager argues Republicans must vote in Georgia's January 5 Senate runoff, calling any boycott contemptible and destructive. He insists voting, monitoring, and ensuring transparency protects Senate control, while dismissing the idea that a boycott would pressure reluctant Republicans.
So let me understand, you have some sympathy for Georgia voters, Georgia Republicans who won't be voting?
Uh, yeah, I do have sympathy. I can't say for sure that that's what I would do if I, if I was faced with that choice, Dennis, but I think I understand why they feel that way, and I don't believe that it's purely emotional like you're, like you're saying.
It's not only emotional, it is destructive and contemptible. I have contempt for any Republican in Georgia who doesn't vote on January 5th. They are ruining America. They have no excuse. I have contempt for them.
Okay, if we sit down to play a game together and I cheat and I keep winning by cheating, is it contemptible for you to quit playing with me?
Really? Do you have a Republican governor in Texas?
Yeah, well, yeah, kind of.
Uh-huh, kind of, fine. Okay, do they have a Republican governor in Florida? How did any Republicans win? Are you telling me that everywhere that there is an election now, there is no chance of Republican winning?
I'm saying anytime the Democrats want to flip their switch, they know how to flip it now.
And okay, so then, so then, so if you believe that, so if you believe that, then every Republican should boycott the election and allow two Democrats to get the majority for the Democrats in the Senate, right? Be consistent. Why should anyone vote? Why should one Republican vote?
That is precisely what they're saying.
And I know it's what they're saying, and they're fools, okay? They're fools. They should monitor the elections to the best of their ability. They should video everything. Everything should be as transparent as possible. I will not give up the Senate without a fight. It's pure emotion what you're saying. Pure.
Dennis, our side is not The threat of that boycott, would it or would it not possibly wake up some of the RINO Republicans and the milquetoast Republicans who refuse to fight for the president's pardon and victory?
Oh, okay. Why would the RINOs care if they even have a majority in the U.S. Senate? If they're only Republicans in name only, they don't care. They're not going to wake up.
I didn't say just the RINOs. I said the RINOs and the milquetoast Republicans.
Fine.
The RINOs and the milquetoast. Like Roy Blunt.
Right. So that'll really work. That'll really work. That'll do it. Here, give the Senate to the Democrats. That'll wake you up.
Or just keep playing the game and keep getting made a fool of.
Okay, that's purely— it's an emotional response. There's nothing I could say. I, uh, then it's either one or— you know what, then no, by that logic, no Republican should vote. It should be a zero votes for the Republican. And the Democrats will just say, boy, did that work. All right, look at how we scare Republicans from voting. Oh, well done, Republicans, you screwed yourselves. Great. Now we have the whole country— Senate, House, presidency— because some Republicans are pissed off at the election results. That's mature, folks. That is real mature. But listen, the human being is rarely rational. Rarely. That's the tragedy of the human condition. Emotions are more powerful. So if it's pure, it's 100% true on the left, and it is apparently to some percentage true on the right as well. These attacks on Mitch McConnell, who has done so much. I mean, I hate ingratitude. I hate it. As you know, that's the chief characteristic of every leftist, ingratitude to America. What McConnell has done, I have zero interest in McConnell individually, zero. What he has done with being mocked and ridiculed and threatened by the left,
