Trump Already Crying Fraud For Election That Hasn't Happened Yet

Donald Trump has gotten his wish, and one of his hand-picked disciples (David Perdue) is running for Georgia's governorship against Republican incumbent Brian Kemp. And, in true Trump fashion, the former President is already whining about the primary being rigged against his candidate. There's obviously no proof of this since Perdue just announced his candidacy, but Trump is laying the groundwork for something to blame when his candidate falls flat. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

This week, former Georgia, former Georgia. I'm just gonna start that over. Number 6, 3, 2, 1. This week, former Georgia Senator David Perdue announced that he would in fact be running for governor of Georgia as a Republican, thereby primarying incumbent Republican governor Brian Kemp. Now speculation about Perdue running has been going on for many, many weeks now. They said, oh, he is not gonna give you an answer until probably the end of December. Well, here we are early December and Perdue has decided to jump in. And as those reports were circulating about, will he or won't he jump in, it was rumored that Donald Trump wanted Perdue to run against Brian Kemp, because as we all know, Trump hates Kemp because Kemp didn't overturn the results of George's election for him. Other than that, Kemp and Brad Raffensperger have been exceptionally loyal little Republicans.

They have passed one of the most sweeping and repressive voting laws in the country this year. So yeah, they're doing everything they can to protect Republicans. But because they couldn't overturn an election, Trump hates their guts and wants them out. So he is backing Perdue and of course he's already claiming election fraud. Donald Trump came out immediately after Perdue's announcement acting like he was, oh, I had no idea. Yeah, you, you made it happen, you idiot. But he's already trying to claim that the elec, the election and the primary is gonna be rigged because he knows that his candidates probably gonna lose. So he is setting up an excuse that when his preferred person loses, which happens more often than not in people Trump endorses, he can say no, it's because it was rigged. It's not because of my idiotic endorsement. It's not because of anything else. Yeah, there we go. Here's what his statement said.

This will be very interesting and I can't imagine that Brian Kemp, who has hurt election integrity in Georgia so badly, can do well at the ballot box unless the election is rigged of course. He cost us two Senate seats and a presidential victory in the great state of Georgia. Nope, you did that actually. You 100% did that. Like, that, that was you. You lost the election there fair and square because you were a horrible candidate. And those two Senate seats were lost in part because you were and moaning about non-existent voter fraud, to the extent that it caused more Georgians to stay home. And that's what helped. I'll tell you what also played the biggest role in the state of Georgia was Stacey Abrams who, by the way, has also declared her candidacy as a Democrat for the state of Georgia and I hope to God that she wins this. But Stacey Abrams was out in that state for years and years getting people registered to vote, educating people on the issues.

Most recently she paid off medical debt, millions of dollars in medical debt for people in five different Southern states. Stacey Abrams is the real deal. She is a good human being and that's what really matters. And I, again, sincerely hope that she can pull off a major victory there. And that is seeming more likely now that Trump is involved in what's taking place in Georgia. We're going to see a lot of fighting. We're going to see a lot of blooding up of the other individual. Republicans are going to get turned off from one candidate or the other.
