To Bust Georgia Open, Roll Out the Red Carpet For Rudy G

The "Free and Fair" 2020 Election Myth Needs to Be Blown Up

Despite mounting evidence, the media will not even entertain the idea that the 2020 election was stolen. To counter their feigned indifference, President Trump will need to tell a story compelling enough to get their attention. That story will need villains, ideally a bipartisan cast, and a hero in need of redemption. Happily, Georgia offers all of the above.

In the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 4, 2020, President Donald Trump had reason to be optimistic about the outcome of the election, especially in Georgia where two Senate seats were also on the line.

In neighboring Florida, which Trump won by a percentage point in 2016, he was about to win by a comfortable 4 points. He was also projected to win—and did win—the four other states that bordered Georgia, three of the four by landslide majorities.

Trump had little reason to worry about Georgia. He carried the state by more than a 5-point margin in 2016 much as Mitt Romney and John McCain had carried it before him. But then—surprise, surprise—after the votes were counted and finessed and amended, Joe Biden slithered away with a 12,000-vote victory, and God help the patriot who challenged the results.

The media had no interest in even trying. Let me cite one example out of many—a May 2021 USA Today “fact check” on the overseas Georgia military vote. Fact checker Daniel Funke quoted a conservative pundit saying, "Out of a batch of 950 military mail-in ballots, Joe Biden got 950 votes, Trump: zero. That's 100%. That is virtually impossible to have happen."

Funke conceded the Trump shutout with a caveat that should have cost him his job: “It did happen — and it’s not evidence of fraud. The 950-vote figure stems from the first hand recount of Georgia’s presidential election results.”

Do the math here, Mr. Funke. A pre-election Military Times survey had Trump and Biden in a dead heat. Forget 950. If only 19 soldiers had voted, the odds that Biden would have gotten all 19 votes were roughly 1 in 525,000. For Funke, the “hand count” validated this absurdity.

Even the New York Times felt compelled to cover a Georgia election gone awry. In a 3-way 2022 DeKalb County commissioner race candidate Michelle Long Spears grew suspicious when she failed to secure a single vote in her own precinct. Once the “computer programming error” was resolved, Spears moved from third place to first. To protect its “free and fair” election mythology the Times did not mention the system at fault, namely “Dominion.”

Election results were corrupted in all the 2020 swing states but nowhere as egregiously as in Georgia. As the coverup collapses, I find it hard to keep up with each new revelation (a useful site is RealRobert) and even harder to explain how the election was compromised, especially given the many variables and the media pushback.

At a state election board hearing on December 9, for instance, an attorney for Fulton County told the board “we do not dispute that the tapes were not signed. It was a violation of the rule.” The attorney was referring to tabulator tapes from the 2020 election representing about 315,000 votes. Yahoo News promptly responded with an article headlined, "Fact Check: Fulton County’s 315,000 Unsigned Early Votes Are NOT Proof Of Electoral Fraud.”

Yahoo dredged up an election expert to reassure its readers, “If those tapes weren't signed, there were subsequent opportunities for the counts to be confirmed”—yes, just as the “hand count” confirmed the one in a gazillion chance that all 950 Georgia military votes went to Joe Biden.

David Cross, who filed the complaint, was not satisfied. “These are not clerical errors, they are catastrophic breaks in chain of custody and certification,” said Cross. “Because no tape was ever legally certified, Fulton County had no lawful authority to certify its advanced voting results to the Secretary of State. Yet, it did.”

Fani Willis liked the 2020 results. She was elected Fulton County district attorney with 100 percent of the vote. Encouraged by the Biden White House, Willis almost immediately launched an investigation into the alleged attempt by Trump and 18 others to corrupt the 2020 election results in Georgia. Among the 18 was Trump lawyer and former New York City mayor, Rudy Giuliani.

To sell the 2020 election as “free and fair,” the media transformed America’s most successful and respected mayor into their own personal pinata. Giuliani’s life post-election has been a legal and financial hell. He has been indicted, disbarred, and sued into bankruptcy. Despite a pardon by Trump in November and a promise of a presidential freedom medal*, his reputation remains in shreds.

Yes, the tide has turned. Trump has been vindicated, Willis humiliated, and the State of Georgia sued by Trump’s Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon to produce election records, but the media remain unmoved. They have their story and are sticking to it.

One way to wake the media up is to give Rudy G not just a medal, but a day, a red carpet day that puts his 2020 heroism in the context of a heroic life—a life fighting crime, fighting terrorists, and fighting the most subversive scoundrels of all, the scumbags that stole the 2020 election.

* President George W. Bush should have recognized Giuliani for rescuing New York City from chaos and for his inspired leadership after 9/11 but never did. Anthony Fauci, Bill Cosby, and Mr. Rogers had better luck with W.
