On January 6th, 2021, Congressman Morgan Griffith failed to defend our country against domestic enemies and voted to subvert and obstruct the will of the electorate of the United States of America, in a free and fair election. He signed on to the Texas lawsuit which asked the Supreme Court to overturn the results of that election in four other states. He does not represent us and is not fit for office.
