ATLANTA – We need to take a minute to unpack what happened on stage at the Donald Trump rally in Perry, Georgia, Saturday night.
As usual, the former president audaciously, theatrically, and inaccurately insisted, again and again, that he won the 2020 election in Georgia.
But for the first time ever, Trump was also joined on stage by a parade of hand-picked statewide Republican candidates for office in Georgia in 2022. All but one, Herschel Walker, said in one way or another that they won’t let Donald Trump lose in Georgia the next time around.
If you think there won’t be a next time, you weren’t listening Saturday night.
“We never forget 2020, just in case you have any questions,” Trump told his cheering audience. “The most corrupt election in the history of our country, most corrupt election in the history of most countries, to be followed by an even more glorious victory in November 2024.”
