Raffensperger: Trump request to 'find' votes was a threat
The Hill ^ | 11/02/2021 | Joseph Choi

Posted on 11/02/2021 1:08:38 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) wrote in his new book that former President Trump was threatening him when he asked Raffensperger to "find" enough vote to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia.

Raffensperger wrote in his new book “Integrity Counts" that he felt Trump threatened him multiple times during their now infamous phone call in which the president asked the state secretary to "find" nearly 12,000 ballots in January, The Associated Press reported.

“I felt then — and still believe today — that this was a threat,” Raffensperger wrote. “Others obviously thought so, too, because some of Trump’s more radical followers have responded as if it was their duty to carry out this threat.”

Trump had a diet coke. That is a threat to diet Pepsi. Must be racist or something?

wrote in his new book

Who reads these books? I spend much of my day reading and there is absolutely no reason to buy a political book.

He had to write a BOOK? What an attention-whore. So that was his game. Write a book in the end how this puke got the best of Trump.

I'm going to write a book. To sell it I'll make some stuff up about Trump and have the corrupt media advertise my book for me. I'm gonna get rich.

Raffensperger is a political zombie and he will never be elected to office as a Republican again. Rep. Adam Kinzinger has shown what traitors like Raffensperger can expect in the future - 30 pieces of silver and a kick to the curb from the leftist boot.

So ... the president "threatened" you ...
And you did nothing

And then what happened?

Are you sure you know what a threat is?

Raffensperger should have to bare knuckle fight Herschel Walker.

Book contracts for politicians are the legally recognized and sanction payoff mechanism for political payoffs and graft.

Exactly what I was thinking. Most everyone in government was against Trump. No way Trump could have gotten away with a REAL threat, . . don’t think Raffy didn’t know that. And as you implied, if it was a threat, why did nothing happen??? Raffensperger is a NOTHINGburger . . . an impotent nobody in a position to cheat for the team. Somebody needs to follow the money on Raffy

Yep. There are so many good books I want to read, many of which I will never get around to reading. Why would I waste time on junk?

I’ve always resented the fact that no matter what is said in the books on how to write good nonfiction the real answer to writing success is 1) become a celebrity 2) write a book or dictate to an “as told to” ghost writer like basketball rebound star Dennis Rodman or porn performer Stormy Daniels.

About 80% of books are by current or past TV performers (even Greg Gutfeld and Mark Levin types).
