Perdue invokes Trump election lies in Georgia GOP primary
The Associated Press ^ | April 26, 2022 | By JEFF AMY (D-AP)

RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) — As he met with voters recently in a part of northwest Georgia where Donald Trump is still very popular, David Perdue invoked his belief in the lie that elections in 2020 and 2021 were stolen from the former president and himself.

“First of all, it was stolen,” Perdue said. “The facts are coming out.”

When the rally was over, Perdue visited the storefront office of a group that similarly espouses election falsehoods. Perdue posted a photo on his Facebook page of himself beaming as the group’s cofounder talks under a banner proclaiming “a legal vote requires the rule of law.”

The emphasis on false election claims is a reminder of how far Perdue has veered to the right ahead of next month’s primary against incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. He’s evolved from a business-minded conservative who won a U.S. Senate seat in 2014 by focusing on federal spending to a hard-liner who associates with conspiracy theorists.

That tracks with the broader shifts in the Republican Party under Trump. But some in the GOP warn that the fixation on past elections will do little to win a general election in Georgia, where moderate voters are crucial.

Perdue, who was personally courted by Trump to enter the race as retribution for Kemp not going along with election lies, is lagging ahead of the May 24 primary.

The AP is heavily invested into keeping to the story going that Trump is lying. They won’t learn. They lack any intellectual curiosity to independently look at the real evidence, or the evidence that certain corrupt courts refused to accept.

The more they protest, the more they prove the point.

Such absolute words used. That’s open stuff, not reporting.

Every word by this reporterette is a lie. Including “and” and “the.”

The mass media and press are pervasively perverted, and will advocate for all things evil and false.

When the time is right, they will be the “trumpeting heralds” of the most brutal totalitarian thug anti-Christ in the history of that world.

And it isn’t far off now.

Yeah, but it’s not so much a problem when a critical mass of the public views the press as dishonest.

Not saying dishonesty in the press isn’t a problem - dishonesty is a problem in general. But our society is run by dishonest people in the press, the government, and most institutions. Better to face reality than be duped into trusting a liar.

If Perdue wins this primary he will trounce Abrams. If Kenp wins, Abrams wins the general election.
