Others signed up to canvass neighborhoods or make calls for campaign phone banks. Brandon Litman took a different approach by making thousands of pieces of art to connect the Democratic candidates with voters. The 39-year-old artist from Brooklyn, New York, packed up his spray paint and traveled to Atlanta in early December amid a critical election overtime period in Georgia. Control of the U.S. Senate was at stake in what Litman called “the most important runoff elections of our lifetimes.”

Far-left Hollywood elitist Rob Reiner has changed his tune about Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), whom the filmmaker once accused of “dancing” on the grave of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Now Reiner is beseeching the Senate’s leading Republican to convict President Trump, claiming that it will help preserve democracy.
Rob Reiner implored Sen. McConnell in a tweet on Tuesday after the senator said that the president “provoked” a crowd of his supporters into storming the Capitol building earlier this month.
“Mitch McConnell has opened the door wide. He has laid down a marker,” Reiner wrote. “By trying to save the Republican Party from going the way of the Whigs, if he can get 17 Senators to convict, his legacy will be having played a part in preserving Democracy.”
