Hellbent on trying to delegitimize American democracy, President Trump reportedly made 18 attempts to get Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on the phone, before the now infamous unhinged phone call on Saturday where he attempted to bully the battleground state’s top elections official into overturning the election results.
He tried to call 18 times?!?!!!?!! That’s hilarious!!! I gotta give Raffensperger a lot of credit for trying to avoid the orange menace!
Having said that, though, let’s just keep in mind—before we nominate him for sainthood—Raffensberger voted for Trump. A vote that he might be regretting by now, I think…
“Raffensperger added that when he and his general counsel Ryan Germany took the call with Trump on Saturday, the President “did most of the talking” while they “did most of the listening.”
I wonder if Trump asked if counsel Ryan Germany knows Angela Merkel because if he does she’s “very weak”.
