“The House 1/6 committee heard chilling, tearful testimony Tuesday that Donald Trump’s relentless pressure to overturn the 2020 presidential election provoked widespread threats to the backbone of our democracy - election workers and local officials who fended off the defeated president’s demands despite personal risks.”
“The hearing was punctuated throughout with accounts of the personal attacks faced by state and local officials.”
“Arizona Republican House Speaker Rusty Bowers said he was subjected to a public smear campaign, including relentless bullhorn protests at his home and a pistol-wielding man taunting his family and neighbors.”
“Officials in Michigan, Pennsylvania and other states told similar stories of having their cellphone numbers and home addresses spread publicly after they refused Trump’s demands.”
“Two Georgia election workers testified that they lived in fear of saying their names aloud after Trump wrongly accused them of voter fraud. There were a lot of threats wishing death upon me, testified a former state election worker.”
