Newt on the Georgia runoff election: “Loeffler faces the most radical democratic candidate in the country, and David Perdue up against Jon Ossoff who is solid, complete, 100% obedient San Francisco radical fund-raising machine, so I think every time, from here to the runoff in Georgia, every single day the left does something stupid is a big gift to Loeffler and Perdue and should remind the American people how vital this is.”

NEWT:
Oh, I’m sure they mean all of it, and I’m sure that at this moment of seeming victory, they are giddy with excitement. The two people who ought to be happy out of what you just reported are Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. Because this clarifies the Georgia senate runoff perfectly. Loeffler faces the most radical democratic candidate in the country, and David Perdue up against Jon Ossoff who is solid, complete, 100% obedient San Francisco radical fund-raising machine, so I think every time, from here to the runoff in Georgia, every single day the left does something stupid is a big gift to Loeffler and Perdue and should remind the American people how vital this is, because you are exactly right, they win, Mitch McConnell locks disaster in the Senate. They lose, and Kamala Harris as president of the senate breaks the tie, so Kamala Harris and the Democrats get to decide what to do. I mean, it’s about as big a gap of the future of America as you could imagine.
NEWT:
Well, I still want to see a real recount, a real canvas in Georgia.
NEWT:
No, we are not, not necessarily. It turns out that the secretary of state signed a consent agreement that Stacey Abrams insisted on that means you cannot identify the people who cast the absentee ballots. I only learned that today, and I think it is so appalling that it is unimaginable. But apparently that’s what he did, and apparently the governor approved it, and so, you know, they can go out as canvas, as long as they don’t try to find out who voted.
NEWT:
It could come, sure it could. This is why they ought to call a special session, they ought to come back in and look at what they’ve done. This was, remember, the constitution gives authority to the States legislatures, not to the secretary of state, not to the governor, not to judges. But it says very directly in the constitution, the state legislatures, and these state legislators ought to stand up and do their job, and in a case of Georgia, this is an absurd agreement that changes state law. It makes no sense at all, and they ought to fight it.
