Georgia election official warns Trump’s claims could lead to violence: ‘You never know what’s going to happen’

[Social Media]

 

Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling on Sunday warned of the possibility that former President Trump’s threatening words could lead to lone acts of violence, ahead of a likely fourth indictment expected.

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Sterling said he does not expect to see any large-scale or organized violence, but he expressed his concern that the violent rhetoric could radicalize individuals who are “probably mentally unstable.” 

 

“Obviously, at this point, you never know what’s going to happen,” Sterling said when asked whether he’s concerned that Trump’s rhetoric could lead to violence. Sterling was also asked about an attack ad that Trump’s team is running labeling Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and others the “fraud squad.”

“My biggest concern for years now – I’ve said this at election conferences where you get professionals who run elections around this country – is somebody will be motivated by some of these kind of languages at some point and do something stupid,” Sterling continued. 

“It’s not going to mean organized things. It’s not going to be a bunch of conspirators together. It’s going to be one probably mentally unstable individual who’s going to be radicalized through this process and that’s my biggest concern through this,” he said.

Not sure what other outcome the left expect from turning America's justice system into something straight out of North Korea or Venezuela. When a once respected system is weaponized to attack the ruling parties chief opponent - using nonsensical charges that your own team has also committed in arguably much worse ways - when there is no pretence any more of one legal system for all, it will inevitably lead to violence. 

 

 If the left want to avoid civil war they must get Garland and Wray out today and replace them with credible people. No more weaponization of Joe Biden's DOJ, it will not serve anyone in the long run - although for the haters that swallowed years of fake news this persecution must seem marvellous. Such a tragic situation.

 

Worth asking the question, why is Georgia's own Stacy Abrams election denialism not likely to lead to violence? Is election denialism while woke not a bad thing, like when patriots try to ensure accurate and fair elections that everyone can trust? Hmmmmm....

"One probably mentally unstable individual" could flip over anything, anywhere, any time. There's only one reason for this carp.

I can still recall how right wingers claimed that the Justice Dept. had been weaponized in the Trump campaign - Russia investigation. The Inspector General's investigation found no bias lay behind the investigation. William Barr, the AG who lied about the Mueller report, publicly disagreed with that finding and launched a separate investigation. His choice to lead the investigation, John Durham, also publicly disagreed with the IG's report when it was issued. William Barr gave Durham extraordinary support, even accompanying him on a trip to Europe to gather evidence. After 31/2 years what evidence did Durham find of bias? None.

 

You can possibly cherry-pick a few comments from Stacy Abrams. But did she ever claim that the actual election count was fraudulent? I'll save you the trouble of looking that up. No, she didn't.

Wild threats? Who do you think I am? Kathy Griffin or Madonna?

Oh boy…………anyway sure trumps calls for violence may be answered by a nutter or 2 when this next indictment comes down during trumps 4 th felony arrest I hope the judge tells citizen trump to keep his yap shut or face immediate arrest and incarceration then follows through when the inevitable temper tantrums start

I told you who you are, and yes wild threats. If Madonna or Kathy were posting on here I would probably respond to whoever they allegedly threatened.

One-off threats that resulted in no record of any ensuing threats. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but their threats weren't a response to them facing investigation and prosecution for suspected criminal activity, were they?

" like when patriots try to ensure accurate and fair elections that everyone can trust?"

 

I agree.  Prosecutors should go after this traitor who openly admitted he wanted to interfere with legal voting in order to sway the election:

 

"President Donald Trump says he opposes additional funds for the US Postal Service as it would boost mail-in voting he claims would help Democrats."

"Mr Trump has previously claimed that mail-in voting would hurt his campaign, which polls show to be in a tight race with Democratic candidate Joe Biden."  https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2020-53772526

Prophylactic protection!

 

Possibly with the 500 odd in jail that may not be an easy task.

So obviously the Trump rhetoric against it was just the usual misinformation.

Sure. People who make it their business to win elections are wrong and you're right. And, per usual, you provide 0 confirmable evidence.

Could it be that there is no evidence and someone, by repeating an unsubstantiated claim about a stolen election, provoked violence?  Wouldn't it be weird if that person were Trump and he is now repeating the crime?

Well they can say it, but they never bring any credible evidence that any court will accept.

I’ll cut out the ‘could be’ and rely on multiple court rulings that there was no election fraud.

I think some words from a song by the Doobie Bros might apply to this particular post, perhaps slightly rearranged, however here goes........

 

"No wise man has the power to reason away what a fool believes".

How is saying it could the case that there was no fraud an accusation or stoke the fires? It's those who claim that there was fraud or could be fraud, even though even the Trump campaign hired 2 teams of forensic experts who looked for it and found nothing, who clearly are stoking the fires. And who is the number 1 stoker?

Regardless, violence and other illegal acts are not justified and can not be excused based on an opinion, informed or otherwise.
