On the ground in Georgia today in support of the GOP Candidates in the #GASen runoff- @GOPChairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
McDaniel speaking to a crowd in Marietta. Neither of the two Republicans candidates are here with her.
She promises “I’m gonna be in your state so much.”
Mocking Dem candidate @ReverendWarnock- McDaniel tells the crowd not to be swayed by Warnock’s ads with his dog.
“Just because there is a nice looking man with a dog licking his face- that doesn’t mean we should vote for him.”
McDaniel now taking questions from supporters.. and they are ALL about Trump’s claims the election was run fraudulently.
McDaniel is being peppered with questions about the accusations about fraud.
One suggested that the voting machines counted votes that weren’t there.
McDaniel conceded- the audit did not show that.
Crowd did not like the response.
Another person asks- “Why should we vote in this election when we know it’s already decided?”
McDaniel responded- “It’s not!”
(This btw.. is the GOP’s worst nightmare in Georgia).
One person from the crowd yells out as McDaniel was speaking-
“Kemp is a crook!!”
(Brian Kemp is the GOP Governor and a committed Trump supporter)
McDaniel is now pleading with the crowd to focus their energy on the Senate race and promises of they will worry about Election fraud issues “later”.
As McDaniel wraps up her remarks she tells the crowd she will tell the President about how fired up the crowd was. The crowd erupts in a “Trump, Trump, Trump” chant.
Remember she was here in support of Perdue and Loeffler.
Afterward- I asked @GOPChairwoman if the President’s consistent attacking of the election process could endanger voter turnout and hurt the GOP in the runoff.
She argued the passion for Trump will translate to Perdue and Loeffler.
Here is video from one of the exchanges. A supporter asks why the RNC is not looking into the allegations with the voting machines. McDaniel stated flatly there is no evidence of that.
Then someone asks why they should vote in this election when it’s “already decided”.
