MSNBC Host Calls Out GA Sec of State for Backing Voter Suppression Bill While Railing Against Fraud Claims

MSNBC Host Calls Out GA Sec of State for Backing Voter Suppression Bill While Railing Against Fraud Claims

Georgia's Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, was one of the main targets of former President Donald Trump and the Republican party's conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump.

The former President frequently smeared Raffensperger as a "RINO" (Republican In Name Only) for repeatedly dismissing the fantasy that Georgia, which went blue in the presidential election for the first time since 1992, produced fraudulent election results. Raffensperger received calls from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of North Carolina and then-President Trump himself, both urging him to find a way to deliver Trump a victory in the state.


The smear campaign led to threats from conservatives against Raffensperger and his family, and has completely tanked Raffensperger's reputation within the Republican party.

Nevertheless, Raffensperger continues to defend a recent voter suppression law passed in the state earlier this year, despite it hinging on the voter fraud fantasies he himself was forced to debunk.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan called Raffensperger out on this in a recent interview.

Watch below.

Hasan pressed Raffensperger on this discrepancy, asking:

"I don't get why you would pass a law to fight voter fraud if there isn't any voter fraud. How can you be supporting a law that's going after something you say doesn't exist?"

When Raffensperger listed two aspects of the bill he thought were good—expanded early voting and harsher voter ID systems—before Hasan interjected to emphasize that:

"The bill itself, let's be honest with each other, with our viewers, was pushed by a Georgia Republican Party that said it's to fight voter fraud, and you told me a moment ago that there was no systematic voter fraud. So why pass a law to fight something that you say doesn't exist? I don't get it."

Georgia's Secretary of State once again deflected to quoting General Patton about moral courage before Hasan asked a third time:

"You just said to me there was no systematic voter fraud in Georgia, but you then supported a law that was pushed by Georgia Republicans who said, 'This law is to tackle systematic voter fraud in Georgia.' Please reconcile those two things for me."

Raffensperger pivoted to claim his goal was voter confidence, and absurdly suggested the bill—which enhances voter suppression in the southern state—was passed to tackle voter suppression.

People appreciated Hasan's efforts at holding the Secretary of State to account.






And Hasan wasn't the only one who thought Raffensperger's answer came up short.





Raffensperger also wouldn't rule out voting for Trump—the man who incited threats and harassment against him and his family—in 2024.

Gavin Newsom Just Epically Trolled JD Vance Over Tariffs With An AI Video About Couches

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Vice President JD Vance—and his love of couches—with an AI-generated video to troll him over the rising costs of goods due to President Donald Trump's retaliatory tariffs.

Earlier this week, Trump announced new tariffs: 10% on softwood timber and lumber, and 25% on “certain upholstered wooden products,” set to take effect October 14. The move follows Trump’s announcement last week of additional tariffs on kitchen cabinets, vanities, and other upholstered products, which will take effect October 1.

College Announcer Apologizes After Sparking Outrage With Body-Shaming Comment About Plus-Size Dance Team

In the United States, there are 107 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)—schools founded when segregation laws and racist policies kept Black men and women from higher education. The schools developed their own unique culture and customs around stepping, marching band, drum majors, and majorettes.

HBCU majorettes march with the band, dance, and have stand battles during games. The dance style and moves are unique to Black culture, but have spread beyond the HBCUs to high schools and dance schools across the country.
