“But objecting to certified electoral votes won’t give him a second term—it will only embolden those Democrats who want to erode further our system of constitutional government.”
Translation: “Sure, Republican idiots like Cruz are trying to steal the election for the jerk who lost by 7 million votes, but look over there at those Democrats. They’re the problem.”
Cotton, you can also go to that new circle of hell they’re going to have to create for these swamp creatures. You’re no better than they are.
Trump knew of Raffensperger’s recorded phone from Graham. The whole country knows about it. So Trump says to himself, why don’t I call that guy in Georgia who records phones calls regarding pressure to interfere in their election and try to pressure him to interfere. It just doesn’t add up. Trump obviously thought he was doing something brilliant.
Who released the call anyway? Because it was released to the Washington Post and not the Atlanta Journal-Constitution or CNN, I would say it was somebody in the White House. Although it was truly in Raffensperger best interest to do it, maybe Ryan Germany did.
