Trump called Georgia state leaders to pressure them to change the results. |

BLOGGER IS TRASH
This was a “very fine phone call.”
This is one of the reasons why President Donald J. Trump got his ass impeached. He literally pressured Georgia lawmakers to subvert the election. He was taped by Georgia Republicans.
Trump urged the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” votes to recalculate the state’s tally of the election. He wants Brad Raffensperger to overturn the results from Joe Biden to him.
In the hour-long phone call, a recording of which was obtained by The Washington Post, Trump pushed baseless conspiracies about voter fraud and told Raffensperger that Georgians are “angry.”
“We have won this election in Georgia,” Trump falsely claimed during the call. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying that, Brad. You know, I mean, having the correct -- the people of Georgia are angry. … And there’s nothing wrong with saying that, you know, that you’ve recalculated.”
This is a disgraceful act that should be leading to a criminal probe into President Donald J. Trump’s conduct.
“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is more than we have,” Trump said. “Because we won the state.”
Georgia counted its votes three times before certifying Biden as the winner. Raffensperger noted: “President Trump, we’ve had several lawsuits, and we’ve had to respond in court to the lawsuits and the contentions. We don’t agree that you have won.”
Trump wanted to discredit the ballots in Fulton County, Georgia. That’s the area where Atlanta resides and its rich in Black voters.
Trump’s antics could be a turn off for Republicans who may come out to vote for Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) who are facing a run-offs against Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
The Democrats condemned Trump’s pleas to change the results.
