Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s Voting System Implementation Manager, appeared on live TV Monday afternoon in a news conference broadcast nationally by cable news networks, and refuted with facts President Donald Trump’s “wild claims,” and those of other right wing conspiracy theorists.
In a “point by point ‘debunking’ rebuke,” as MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin noted on Twitter, Sterling, a Republican, said “President Trump and his team ‘intentionally misled’ Senators, Representative and supporters about allegations of voter fraud and irregularities.”
Sterling told reporters there is “zero proof – zero,” of President Trump’s “wild” claims.
“This is all easily, provably false. And yet the president persists.”
Referring to Trump’s false claims about Dominion voting machines, like the machines “flipping votes,” Sterling said “none of that is true. Not a whit.”
He also warned that President Trump’s false claims are going to lead to violence.
“Someone’s going to get killed.”
“It’s Groundhog Day again,” Sterling said. “I’m going to talk about the things I’ve talked about repeatedly for two months, but I’m going to do it for one last time.”
He called his efforts today “anti-disinformation Monday.”
CNN’s Brianna Keilar said Sterling was “exasperated,” as he went “line by line” debunking the claims.
