The bad reporting from WaPo claimed Trump told Georgia’s top elections investigator “to find the fraud,” in December. The Post says this quote was false and they lay blame on an unidentified source.

Quote
“Correction: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source,” the correction published Thursday began.

“Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now.’”

“The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.”

Quote
TRUMP FIRES BACK:

“The Washington Post just issued a correction as to the contents of the incorrectly reported phone call I had with respect to voter fraud in the Great State of Georgia. While I appreciate the Washington Post’s correction, which immediately makes the Georgia Witch Hunt a non-story, the original story was a Hoax, right from the very beginning. I would further appreciate a strong investigation into Fulton County, Georgia, and the Stacey Abrams political machine which, I believe, would totally change the course of the presidential election in Georgia.

“Fulton County has not been properly audited for vote or signature verification. They only looked at areas of the State where there most likely would be few problems, and even there they found large numbers of mistakes. We are seeking to find and reveal the large-scale election fraud which took place in Georgia. Many residents agree, and their anger caused them not to turn out and vote for two Republican Senators in the January election.

“The Consent Decree signed between Raffensperger and Stacey Abrams was not approved by the Georgia State Legislature, and therefore should be deemed invalid, and the election result changed. Why the Governor and Raffensperger ever approved this Consent Decree is one of the great questions? We look forward to an answer.

“You will notice that establishment media errors, omissions, mistakes, and outright lies always slant one way—against me and against Republicans. Meanwhile, stories that hurt Democrats or undermine their narratives are buried, ignored, or delayed until they can do the least harm—for example, after an election is over. Look no further than the negative coverage of the vaccine that preceded the election and the overdue celebration of the vaccine once the election had concluded. A strong democracy requires a fair and honest press. This latest media travesty underscores that legacy media outlets should be regarded as political entities—not journalistic enterprises. In any event, I thank the Washington Post for the correction.”

'94 Congress, yes.  The conservative administration headed by Ronald Reagan is more folklore than reality.

The last presidential administration to actually cut, as opposed to reducing the rate of growth, the size and scope of the federal government was that of Calvin Coolidge.  @Right_in_Virginia @roamer_1

Historical FACT.

Under President Trump, we made great strides towards world peace.

Under Joe Biden’s regime, we ignore our allies and embolden our enemies.

Biden’s weakness is bad for peace, bad for our troops, and bad for America.

You may have missed this correction from The @WashingtonPost in which the paper retracted its false reporting that President Trump told  @GaSecofState  investigators to “find the fraud.”




The Secretary of State’s office secretly recorded the conversation, mischaracterized its contents to The Washington Post and then attempted to delete the recording. It was recently discovered in a laptop “trash” folder as part of an open records search.

So the WaPo is running stories based on single-source claims without confirmation from a second source?  This violates the first rule of journalistic integrity.

In other words, Brad Raffensperger aided and abetted the Democrats in taking control of the Senate based on a lie.  Not to mention the wholesale dereliction of duty in enforcing election laws enacted by the legislature for the specific purpose of preventing election fraud.

If she was smart, she would quickly backtrack and blame it all on the WaPo.  But I suspect she will double down on the lie instead.

The '94 congress caved to Clinton on the budget before '95 was out.  Your shining moment didn't last a year.  But Reagan was good, despite the spending.

I guess some spending is more equal than others.

Raffensperger deserves a prison cell.  There are those working behind the lines here in Georgia who are trying to get him indicted.
