georgia politics is always fascinating, right? you have governor brian kemp, publicly pushing back on donald trump, even right after that indictment comes out, former lieutenant governor jeff duncan. i was there in fulton county last week, he testified for hours before that grand jury, calling trump, quote, one of the biggest mistakes this country is ever made. georgia secretary of state, ron raffensperger, famously rebuffing trump s efforts for him to, quote, find those votes. these are all republican officials. so, what do you make of that rift in the republican party in terms of politics in georgia from that cult of trump? well, what we also know, katie, governor brian kemp, he might be saying this or that about what he wants the republican party to talk about. this is political for him. he is not standing on the side of democracy, he s not standing on the side of making sure that everyone who wanted to cast illegal ballot is able to do so. let s not forget, brian kemp is the same
all of this. he was facilitating the rally. he facilitated team crazy coming in. he wasn t in the thick of it. he definitely, absolutely, had involvement in the situation in georgia, where they were trying to put the arm on raffensperger, to find those votes. meadows is very, very deeply involved here. he is very deeply explodes. thank you both. appreciated. [whistling] when you have technology that s easier to control. that can scale across all your clouds. we got that right? yeah, we got that. it s easier to be an innovator.
Former President Trump demonstrated virtually no knowledge of the conduct of modern elections procedures in a long and rambling phone call with Georgia’s top elections administrator as he ticked off a host of debunked and fanciful conspiracy theories he blamed for his electoral defeat.
there was not anything there and we called them the gbi and the fbi, there were not anything there. we ran down every single obligation. also people hold elected office really should be mindful of. if someone says ron raffensperger was my brother and he works for the chinese. that s the type of things we are facing, just wild accusations never supported by the facts. sam stein has the next question. jump in. thank you, secretary raffensperger. this past week on the federal evolve, representative adam kinzinger announced he s not going to reseek elections, he s one of the happened full republicans who would agree of your assessment of the election, publicly but not privately. i am wondering if you can take an assessment of the republican
