Trump-Backed Perdue Gets Behind Another Big Lie Lawsuit After Launching Georgia Gov Bid | Talking Points Memo

Fresh off of announcing his campaign for Georgia governor, former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) on Friday doubled down on his push of the Big Lie of a “stolen” 2020 president election by filing a lawsuit over absentee ballots in Fulton County, further signaling that his bid for Georgia governor centers on proving his loyalty to former President Trump.

casted the Georgia governor as someone who “caved” to Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams by refusing to engage with the former president’s unfounded claims of election fraud in the battleground state.

Strong words from the guy who was too frightened to debate then-Candidate Jon Ossoff for the Senate.

If the 2020 election was stolen doesn’t that then apply to every candidate, so MTG should no longer represent North Georgia, right Perdue?

I am guessing his shitty suit has about a 0-in-60 chance of succeeding.

GQPers reserve the right to cherry pick everything that doesn’t fit their story line, so, the answer to your question is “of course not, don’t be silly”…

The moment Perdue decided to run for Governor flying Trump’s flag, you just knew this was coming. Dignity wraith gonna dignity wraith.

Well, I saw this coming. Perhaps he’ll write a tell-all.

It’s not just that he want to prove his loyalty to Trump, he too is signaling his own readiness to steal his way to power.

So when will they stop treating them as a credible organization and pull their WH press pass?

I’m not going out on a limb by saying this probably won’t end well for Perdue or Kemp. Trump’s only interest here is promulgating his false claims of election fraud and in punishing Kemp; he couldn’t give a damn about Perdue, in fact, I doubt he could even spell his name. But once Perdue fails to deliver anything on election fraud, because there’s nothing to deliver, he’ll get thrown overboard like Guliani, kraken lady, and all the rest. And if Kemp slips through, it wouldn’t be crazy to imagine Trump implicitly endorsing Abrams.

Probably never. A whole lot of them tried to pass off James O’Keefe as a “journalist” after he stole Ashley Biden’s diary, because for reasons.

If the media would cover Biden fairly, it would be well over 50%.

Perdue–the crazy is strong with this one. :roll_eyes:

Don’t they say that doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity?

What might be even crazier is that the number of crazy people is growing. We knew TFG was crazy, but it’s remarkable that so MANY are willing to follow him to Crazy Town. It boggles the mind. :flushed:

I’m of the opinion that the WH should do away with the WH correspondence association. Trump proved its worthlessness. Why should any POTUS give up the power of providing access if it’s not going to be taken seriously by the responsible party.

I can’t think of a single reason that these Sunday chinwag shows ought to exist, except one: as cautionary tales about the inevitable outcome of stupidity in the press and politics.

He seemed taken aback when asked that question, after touting Kansas’s robust voting laws.

And here is his next adventure. He’s going to the enemy from the Fox perspective.
