Steve Scalise in January 6 Capitol Riot

On Government Reform: States didn't follow Constitutional requirements

"I've been very clear from the beginning," he said. "If you look at a number of states, they didn't follow their state-passed laws that govern the election for president. That is what the U.S. Constitution says. They don't say the states determine what the rules are. They say the state legislatures determine the rules," Scalise said.

Pressed on whether the election went beyond a few irregularities, Scalise responded: "It's not just irregularities. It's states that did not follow the laws set which the Constitution says they're supposed to follow."
