GAYLE TROTTER: The voters who wanted President Trump to have a second term voted for him because he's a fighter. He's a man who fights. And this is yet another example --

A.B. STODDARD: [LAUGHS]

TROTTER: -- of where they are not going to -- A.B. said this would be politically damaging and Jessica is giving advice to her political opponent. Well, President Trump doesn't take advice from political opponents, and here is yet another example where he shows that he's going to the mat for the over 70 million voters who entrusted him to fight back and this is yet another opportunity where he understands the radical leftist agenda that Joe Biden and his administration want to push -- 

STODDARD: [LAUGHS]

TROTTER: -- particularly in the radical list of judges that they want to put on the bench who are politicians in robes and who don't want to just fairly interpret the law but want to enact a liberal wish list into policy, through the courts.

And so President Trump understands the stakes of this election and the Georgia election, while it's a state election, has national implications and is the only way to stopgap the Biden administration from pushing through the radical agenda of D.C. Statehood, Puerto Rico statehood, court-packing, and abolishing the electoral college and I will tell you that President Trump's supporters are glad that he is continuing the fight.

As mentioned, The Washington Post had reported on and released an audiotape of President Trump threatening Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to overturn the election.
