What you don't have the ability to do—and you need to step up and say this—is stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence," said Gabriel Sterling, the voting implementation manager with the Georgia secretary of state's office.
Sterling, a Republican, called on the president and other elected officials to speak out against recent remarks made by Trump's campaign lawyer Joe diGenova, who called for the execution of former cybersecurity chief Christopher Krebs.On Monday, diGenova said Krebs"should be drawn and quartered, taken out at dawn and shot" for contradicting the Trump campaign's unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud and calling the election"the most secure in American history.
"Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language. Senators, you have not condemned this language or these actions. This has to stop! We need you to step up, and if you're going to take a position of leadership, show some," he added. During a Monday news conference, Raffensperger said,"There are those who are exploiting the emotions of many Trump supporters with fantastic claims, half-truths, misinformation, and, frankly, they're misleading the president as well, apparently."
