1. These Trump tapes are what desperation looks like. And DT is particularly mad that the Black South did him in. S/o to the organizers and the Black electeds...

2. Brad Raffensperger ain't NOBODY'S hero. He's still a vote suppressor. Stay woke.

Discussed it w @PoliticsNation.

1. Desperate people do desperate things. The more desperate they get, the more desperate their behavior gets.

Trump calling a GOP SoS and talking to him in all caps *for an entire hour* like he ain't know a tape could be running is irrational because HE'S irrational & desperate

But also? I don't know if anything makes Trump itch quite like Black excellence. (See: His Obama obsession.) He hates losing-especially to people he deems "beneath" him. The fact that it was young & Brown & Black folks who beat him in GA? Oh he is MAD.

And I find it HILARIOUS.

2 & more important:

DO NOT PUT BRAD RAFFENSPERGER ON A PEDESTAL. He is a MASTER vote suppressor & he'd LOVE for us to forget this right ahead of the #runoff. His naked self-interest happens to align w us *on Trump ONLY*

His work-and I say this from the heart-is still

trash

Organizers have been trying to recall Brad Raffensperger since June 2020.

. @BlackVotersMtr and a coalition of organizations filed a complaint against the GA SoS office just this past December.

In fact, not only is Brad Raffensperger nobody's hero-he's using his feud with Trump as cover for his bull.

He is using the SAME fake fraud claims he challenges Trump on to attack progressive voter registration organizers across GA:

All you have to do is google "Brad Raffensperger Voter Suppression" to see the laundry list of stuff this guy has been doing-and he is grateful for the smokescreen this Trump Verzuz is providing him.

This is Brad saving himself. He has no intention of saving or protecting US.

So instead of write, read, or share the "attaboy Brad" takes, apply pressure.

Easiest way to do it from whoever you are? Fund, support, follow and volunteer with the folks who've been keeping Raffensperger on his toes:

@BlackVotersMtr
@NewGAProject

Thanks for the tape, Brad. It was helpful.

But you ain't down for us and we ain't down for you.
