Georgia's Republican Secretary Of State Says He Was 'Thrown Under The Bus' By Trump

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.

Alinsky rules for radicals: accuse your political foes of what you yourself do with all the self-righteousness and indignation at your command.

"Trump threw me under the bus."

No, a##-hat, that's what you and the entire GOP establishment have done to Trump. At least we know what to expect from Dems, but the GOPe is the enemy within.

Last night we saw an Outer Limits episode, “Zanti Misfits”. The aliens were killer ants with faces like humans. Weird.

how to fight back against the media? a younger generation of 3 to 4 man fire teams attacking and dragging the guilty of deception out into the streets and hung from nearby trees.

That would be a start...

Don’t think the majority really believe it.....

They are just playing chest-beating keyboard warriors blowing off frustration.....

Tired of years of promises of accountability, prosecution, and perp walks that are never fulfilled...

I suspect that those who have denied for 4 years that Trump has been a legitimate President, will think that the next 4 years will be smooth sailing under Biden. I suspect that they will be wrong; I suspect that they will be in for a very rude awakening.
