Election staff detail Trump supporters’ threats

Published

on

With the January 6 Capitol riot hearing continuing today, state election officials have spoken publicly about how they were threatened by Donald Trump supporters to ignore and essentially go against the results

The focus of the hearings shifted on Tuesday, with a spotlight on those Republicans who pressured state officials.

Witness and Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, Rusty Bowers described how Trump and his supporters tried to persuade him to discard the state’s results entirely.

Bowers says he received more than 20,000 emails and tens of thousands of texts and calls, saturating the offices and preventing staff members from working.

The harassment only continued, with demonstrations staged at his house, confrontations with fellow neighbours and further threats.

On January 6 when former VP Mike Pence went to certify the election, Donald Trump made a last-ditch effort to hold onto power, urging supporters to march on the Capitol during a rally.

Democratic Representative Adam Schiff says Trump’s lies were a call to action, pushing his supporters to harass election workers.
