Georgia's Republican Secretary Of State Says He Was 'Thrown Under The Bus' By Trump
yahoo ^ | November 25, 2020 | Ja'han Jones

In a USA Today op-ed published Wednesday, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, claimed he was “thrown under the bus” by President Donald Trump when he wouldn’t help to declare Republicans the winners of elections they lost in the state.

In the article, Raffensperger commends the state of Georgia for conducting a “wildly successful and smooth election,” and he said that feat is worthy of celebration even among people whose preferred presidential candidate lost.

“For those wondering, mine lost,” Raffensperger said, referencing Trump. “My family voted for him, donated to him and are now being thrown under the bus by him.”

Last week, Raffensperger alleged Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and other members of his party urged him to unlawfully disqualify ballots cast in Georgia, a state President-elect Joe Biden won by thousands of votes. Following Trump’s lead, Graham, Georgia Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, and other conservatives throughout the country have pushed absurd conspiracy theories about voting irregularities in the state, including a theory alleging Georgia’s voting machines were engineered to disenfranchise Trump voters. Since election day, Raffensperger has become a pariah among conservatives for his refusal to hand Republicans victories in races they lost.

In a Nov. 14 tweet that has since been flagged as disinformation, Trump baselessly claimed Raffensperger, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, and Democrat and former gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams were allies in a scheme to “cheat” this election cycle.

The courts from Georgia to the USSC are going to say otherwise rather soon.

Do you people who say these things really believe they are going to end up at guantanamo?

I pray Justice is done and the ones that should be are sent to prison.

But some live in another time in the United states. They live in the ‘50s. And that doesn’t help us at all.

they are very powerful forces against us that we can defeat but nobody is going to Guantanamo bay. That’s absurd.

No one is going to be hung.

How about we focus on winning one state first before we have everybody in prison garb

Thrown under the bus? I thought he threw himself under it knowing that Stacy Abrams was the driver and wouldn’t run him over as long as he was still useful.

Well said. Seems likely there are some wildly optimistic folks around here, oblivious to how dire the situation is and what an uphill battle it’s going to be restore integrity to this republic.

Hanged not hung. If this is a coup, then yes, the military takes over and people will be hanged, shot and sent to a military prison.

If you are involved in a coup, you are under military jurisdiction. There is a reason Esper was shitcanned.

Do you get paid to make absurd statements only a naive child would make?

And you ARE a naive, petulant child.

I pray for Trump to win and would LOVE prison sentences for many.

But I’m on planet earth.

You’re on planet idiocy.

By the way, with your big flapping, have you donated to FREE REPUBLIC AND TRUMP’S DEFENSE FUND AND POWELL’S DEFENSE FUND

Or are you all talk and a cheap ####? :)

Enjoy the stay :)

EXACTLY! That “send ‘em to Guantanamo” garbage is just that. It’s simply NOT going to happen.

It sounds like the bargaining stage...

Suggesting that an attempted coup of this seriousness should not result in
military sentencing with execution on the table...

Sure... No big deal...

(Personally, I think the time for deals is fast slipping away...)
