Desperate to blame anyone but himself for his humiliating loss in the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump is now lobbing accusations of wrongdoing at a Republican governor in a Deep South state he lost to Joe Biden.
On Saturday morning, Trump claimed that Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp and his 2018 Democratic opponent, Stacey Abrams, had committed a crime:
The Consent Decree signed by the Georgia Secretary of State, with the approval of Governor @BrianKempGA, at the urging of @staceyabrams, makes it impossible to check & match signatures on ballots and envelopes, etc. They knew they were going to cheat. Must expose real signatures!

….What are they trying to hide. They know, and so does everyone else. EXPOSE THE CRIME!

Be sure and note that Twitter flagged both of the president’s tweets, and for good reason: There’s not a shred of proof that any wrongdoing took place in the election. Even Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security has declared the 2020 election “the most secure in American history.”
What’s really galls Trump is the fact that he’s the first Republican presidential candidate since 1992 to lose the Peach State. In the ’92 election, Bill Clinton defeated another incumbent GOP head of state, George W. Bush.
Trump was quickly hit with a fact-check and loads of mockery by others on his favorite social media platform:
Donald Trump needs to grow a pair and suck it up, he lost. 🙄#PresidentialElection. #ByeDon2020 #TrumpIsLosing #TrumpMeltdown

So Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp conspired together to cheat? So she actually conspired with the person who stole the election from her.

I love it that you’ve now turned against Brian Kemp. Next, I will need you to turn against @KLoeffler and @Perduesenate. pic.twitter.com/oxvty8JKsb

Georgia, which is controlled by Republicans….helped to rig the election for Biden, but forgot to rig it for Loeffler and Purdue?
