It's getting ugly in Georgia. Republicans are now openly begging Trump to stop lying about the voting being fraudulent. What's disgusting is that they happily told these same lies, and only now want him to stop due to fear of flat GOP turnout.

Amazing: An adviser to @KLoeffler is now calling on Trump to stop undermining the integrity of Georgia elections. But Loeffler herself is doing exactly that!

Telling the truth to GOP voters -- that Trump legitimately lost -- is simply not permitted:

Here's where it gets even crazier.

Both Loeffler and Perdue want to run as a check on a Biden presidency.

But they can't so much as *hint* that Biden won the election, because it angers Trump voters.

Again, telling them the truth is not an option:

Here's what's really terrible:

If the lie that the election was stolen from Trump ends up juicing GOP turnout and Republicans win one or both Georgia runoffs, the wholesale delegitimization of our elections will be validated as a mobilization tactic:
