Rudy tried getting Trumpian Tuberville to slow down yesterday’s electoral vote counting but got the number wrong and left the message on a different Senator’s voicemail who promptly made it public:
More breaking news from inside Senate:
Rudy Giuliani calls & asks Sen. Tommy Tuberville to object to 10 states – AFTER the violence at U.S. Capitol – to slow it down.
So incompetent, left the voicemail on another Senator’s phone, who promptly made it public.#SeditionSenators pic.twitter.com/Vn1p8R3gxA

The Senate has adjourned until Jan. 19.
Surreal cap to yesterday.
