Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensberger, a Republican, took aim at other Republicans for failing to condemn death threats he and his family have faced following the battleground state’s hand recount affirming President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.
Raffensperger has gone along with all kinds of Republican bullshit on the policy front, but he appears to want fair elections in Georgia.
So the far-right Trumpists are threatening him and his family with death—and neither Perdue nor Loeffler has condemned any of it, thereby lending at least tacit approval to the death threats.
No wonder the Georgia GOP is at war with itself.
Let’s hope neither side of the war wins.
Maybe Raffensperger will get a reply letter from Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, who I’m sure he wrote to sympathetically earlier in the year after learning that Vindman and his entire family had been whisked away from their home by the military when the threats got so bad after Vindman did his duty and told the truth.
“It’s time to stand up and be counted. Are you going to stand for righteousness? Are you going to stand for integrity? Or are you going to stand for the wild mob? You wanted to condemn the wild mob when it’s on the left side. What are you going to do when it’s on our side?”
Nice to hear him say this. He’s a bit late though, it’s been on “his side” for a very, very long time.
I’ll bet he still voted for Trump. He’s just calling out the worst of the MAGATs, not dissing the GOP at large.
There are people who strongly dislike Trump, but who dislike any Democrat even more, based on policy issues. That’s why they’re Republicans. As long as Dems are in favor of a abortion choice, rational immigration policy, enough taxation to support a decent social safety net, and climate change mitigation, we’re not going to get their vote.
But you still gladly belong to the political party that shits on you and threatens the lives of yourself and your family? And you expect others to sympathize with you?
My, I guess it must really feel good when that leopard eats your face!
