contenders who have embraced the former president s false assertions about the 2020 election. donald trump is looking for collaborators. he wants collaborators for his next run at american representative government to destroy it, and he is getting them in droves. senator sheldon whitehouse, a democrat from rhode island who serves in the senate judiciary committee, he just wrote this opinion piece in the boston globe about the upcoming ever summit for democracy and fight against corruption and authoritarianism. senator, you are obviously a colleague of david perdue before he lost that election in a free and fair election in which the people chose to kick him out of his office. it just strikes me as like craven and shabby and odious to sign up for a primary challenge under these conditions, but i wonder what you think as someone who knows the man. i m a little surprised myself. i did not see him as somebody who was going to be this allied
somebody has done a phenomenal job, jody hice. jody, come here! and jody is running against one of the worst secretary of states in america, rino brad ralphs persian gulfer who is trying to turn the tables on me because i m fighting for election integrity. to be honest, i was surprised. he is a congressman who is loved in his district, who s got no problems, no election problems, could be there forever, and said i want to do this because what s happened to the state of georgia is a disgrace. so brad raffensperger doesn t support the coup, despite repeated bullying by trump, and trump backs a primary challenger to get rid of brad raffensperger, so there will be a more coup-pliant replacement to a single issue primary challenge. raffensperger refused to cave to demands he steal an election. now he has been removed. as you heard donald trump imply there, it s also fair to
she contends that margin was basically due to the changes he had made as secretary of state to suppress the vote. so in brian kemp we are not talk about a guy with a stalwart commitment to ballot access, democratic integrity. in fact, he has a reputation for just the opposite. but like brad raffensperger, brian kemp refused to actively foment a coup, despite the fact that like brad raffensperger, he also was on the receiving end of a call from donald trump asking him to do so. and ever since, trump has been trying to get rid of him too. in september, when trump held a rally in georgia, he hinted that kemp would be primaried and that he had a candidate in mind. your rino governor brian kemp, who has been a complete disaster on election integrity. a complete and total and i m not looking to say that. i m not looking to say that. he has been a complete and total disaster on election integrity.
with us tonight a friend of mine and a great senator, a man who i don t know, are you going to run for governor, david perdue? are you going run for governor? where is david. stand up, david. david perdue. are you running for governor, david? did i hear he is running for governor? thank you, david. he is a great guy, and he loves this state, and he has done a fantastic a fantastic job. of course perdue can run for governor because he lost that senate race quite infamously. last week stacey abrams announced she is running for governor again, a rematch being set up from 2018. and in response donald trump issued this deranged statement. quote, abrams just announced she is running for governor of georgia. i beat her single-handedly in 2018. i ll beat her again, but it will be hard to do with brian kemp because the maga base just will not vote for him after what he did with respect to election
so tonight, representative massey and judge pirro, with your poor taste and poor judgment, both of you, both of you are tonight s absolute, absolute worst. have some compassion for a change. happy holidays. and that s tonight s the reidout. all in with chris hayes starts now. tonight on all in what are we going to do here, folks? i only need 11,000 votes. fellows, i need 11,000 votes. give me a break. donald trump finds a new candidate in his quest for republicans who held the line for democracy. think about how different it would be today if kemp had fought abrams first instead of fighting trump. tonight the high stakes in georgia and why the department of justice is now suing texas. then the former national guard official now calling two generals, quote, absolute liars regarding the pentagon s delayed response to the capitol riot.
