Why Georgia's GOP Lt. Governor Takes Issue with Republicans Challenging the Election Results
Townhall ^ | 12/31/2020 | Beth Baumann

Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) on Wednesday slammed Republicans, including President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, for challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election. According to Duncan, those who question the results are partaking in a "misinformation" campaign – and that could have a detrimental impact on the Georgia runoff elections slated for next week.

"The part that I think really hurts us here in Georgia for our January 5th runoff is to have conversations about misinformation," Duncan told Fox News host Sandra Smith. "It's to have folks like Rudy Giuliani walking around the Georgia capital today, just talking about misinformation in every syllable. It's cringeworthy."

According to Duncan, Giuliani and the Trump campaign threaten "majorities" that conservatives hold in the Peach State, a reference to the state legislature. 

"We've got a winning attitude here. Folks in Georgia support conservative leadership. We just need to spend time reminding folks all about it," the Lt. Gov. stated. "These folks that are trying to figure out ways to flip the election with misinformation is not democracy. It's not American. I don't support it and I certainly encourage everybody here listening not to support any sort of misinformation campaign."

Following the interview, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to chide Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) and the Lt. Gov. 

.@BrianKempGA, his puppet Lt. Governor @GeoffDuncanGA, and Secretary of State, are disasters for Georgia. Won’t let professionals get anywhere near Fulton County for signature verifications, or anything else. They are virtually controlled by @staceyabrams & the Democrats. Fools!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2020

We now have far more votes than needed to flip Georgia in the Presidential race. Massive VOTER FRAUD took place. Thank you to the Georgia Legislature for today’s revealing meeting!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 30, 2020

Shortly after the election, Duncan warned that challenging the results of the presidential election could ruin the "brand" conservatism has built.

Brand? The cowering brand? Is this guy serious?

After the evidence from yesterdays hearing in the Georgia Senate was revealed, this clown should be ARRESTED as a co-conspirator

Regardless of whether Trump is still the president in February, these RINO traitors must be RECALLED!

Kemp, Duncan, and Raffensperger have had two months to investigate the many allegations and instead of investigating they have continued to put roadblocks.

Have the allegations about felons voting been investigated? Where are the arrests?

Have the allegations about under age teenagers voting been investigated? Where are the arrests?

Have the allegations about out-of-state people voting been investigated? Where are the arrests?

And on, and on, and on. Where are the investigations? Where are the arrests?

Contrary to what Duncan claims, the REPUBLICAN ‘BRAND’ has been destroyed by Kemp, Duncan, and Raffensperger.

Geoff Duncan is politically dead to me. He's lucky I don't live in Georgia. Giuliani's speech yesterday was masterful.

Kemp, Duncan, and Raffenberger will never get elected statewide again (unless they change parties).

Buzzword of the day: MISINFORMATION.

Students should note that this buzzword is new and, until there is further word from our masters, she be used in place of the previously approved Buzzword: DEBUNKED.

The nice thing about MISINFORMATION.is that it is a general term that doesn’t require specific examples. This is important because, as we all know, there are none.

As an added bonus it completely avoids the common and difficult question: DEBUNKED by whom. There is no answer to that challenge of course since there never was even an attempt at debunking.

I wonder how many people of color in GA were disenfranchised by having their Trump votes switched to BiteMe...?

Perhaps Kemp and Duncan should be asked to explain why they’re aiding and abetting the disenfranchisement of certain black voters...

Among others.

This guy has got to be as corrupt as they come or certifiably insane to keep claiming there was no fraud after yesterday’s hearings.

These criminals need to be publicly hung.

If they can’t admit Ruby Freeman running ballots through a machine 3 times on video isn’t fraud then you know they are COMPLETELY CORRUPT.

Heard this total jerk on the radio this morning demeaning the great work of the sub-committee. He needs to be run out of town along with Kemp.
