(The Detroit News)—“Then-President Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News and revealed publicly for the first time.
On a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call, which also involved Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump told Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two GOP Wayne County canvassers, they’d look “terrible” if they signed the documents after they first voted in opposition and then later in the same meeting voted to approve certification of the county’s election results, according to the recordings.
“We’ve got to fight for our country,” said Trump on the recordings, made by a person who was present for the call with Palmer and Hartmann. “We can’t let these people take our country away from us.”
McDaniel, a Michigan native and the leader of the Republican Party nationally, said at another point in the call, “If you can go home tonight, do not sign it. … We will get you attorneys.”
To which Trump added: “We’ll take care of that.”
Palmer and Hartmann left the canvassers meeting without signing the official statement of votes for Wayne County, and the following day, they unsuccessfully attempted to rescind their votes in favor of certification, filing legal affidavits claiming they were pressured.
The moves from Palmer, Hartmann and Trump, had they been successful, threatened to throw the statewide certification of Michigan’s 2020 election in doubt.”
This is exactly why Trump needs to be disqualified from holding office. He will never relinquish power, after having it one time before, it’s apparent that he is addicted to it. His behavior towards election officials around the country was like a junkie putting a pressure campaign to maintain his grip on his fix.
How MAGATS can defend Trump is beyond delusional, especially when most of the evidence against his illegal transgressions are recordings or televised footage of him committing crimes. Yet they continue the tired narrative that he is being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department. Give me a break! We have all heard the Georgia tapes, watched January 6th unfold on every single network, and now this recording of him doing what he does best con people.
