‘Somone’s going to get killed.’ This election official’s message to Donald Trump is a powerful, important watch
Donald Trump is continuing to dispute his election defeat to Joe Biden and this Georgia election official’s message to the so-called president went viral because it’s such a powerful, important watch.
It’s Gabriel Sterling, a lifelong Republican and one of the state’s top voting officials who oversaw the implementation of its new voting system.
Here’s what he had to say.
"It. Has. All. Gone. Too. Far," says @GabrielSterling with Georgia Sec of State after a Dominion tech's life was threatened with a noose. "Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language….all of you who have not said a damn word are complicit in this." pic.twitter.com/OnHaxgpJx6

This! From a Republican election official in Georgia. It isn't about politics. It's about truth. And justice. And democracy. Either you stand on the side of what's right, and do so vocally and publicly. Or you don't. Silence is complicity. https://t.co/0Fj9FarJpe

Here is a longer version of the same address.
"It has all gone too far," Georgia election official @GabrielSterling said while addressing threats against election workers.

Naturally – and entirely predictably – it fell on Donald Trump’s deaf ears.
Rigged Election. Show signatures and envelopes. Expose the massive voter fraud in Georgia. What is Secretary of State and @BrianKempGA afraid of. They know what we’ll find!!! https://t.co/Km7tRm2s1A
