Fox News Cuts Off Georgia Presser to Let Trump Lackey Attack Election Officials

I guess spurred by OAN and Newsmax, we will see Fox will compete in a race to the bottom in terms of trying to push fact free, pro-Republican conspiracies. Sadly, a good portion of America lives in this alternate reality where Trump won the election, global warming is not real, the COVID pandemic is a hoax, and rich white men are the most oppressed group.

Midway through Monday afternoon’s press conference from Georgia’s secretary of state’s office addressing President Donald Trump’s many election conspiracies, Fox News cut into the presser to give Trump senior campaign adviser Jason Miller an opportunity to peddle even more baseless claims and attacks on election officials.

Following the president’s brazen call to Republican Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger in which the president pressured the Georgia official to “find” 11,780 more Trump votes in the state, GA Voting System Implementation Manager Gabriel Sterling delivered a breathless, comprehensive debunking of the president’s unfounded allegations.

Step by step, Sterling—who is also a Republican—broke down every single one of the president’s false claims that Trump has made about the election in Georgia, including outlandish claims about “suitcases” of fake ballots being counted in Fulton County after poll observers and witnesses were sent home.

“This is what's frustrating,” Sterling said Monday afternoon. “The president's legal team had the entire tape, they watched the entire tape and then intentionally misled the state senate, the voters, and the people of the United States about this. It was intentional, it was obvious, and anyone watching this knows that!”
