Dear Editor,
Dick Yarbrough’s “OBSESSION WITH TRUMP” seems to have no limits. His column from June 15, 2022, is insulting and degrading to every working-class voter who supported Trump. Serious people understand that measured and sincere words are much more compiling than petty and vindictive insults. Donald Trump’s continued support and loyalty from the working class is not shocking or complicated. Establishment Elitist tell us to vote and shut up. We are unworthy of consideration. Democrats viciously attack and label us. The Media Mob Propaganda Machine mocks our intelligence and questions our resolve. Our unified response to the elections of 2016 and 2020 were record “LEGAL” voter turnout. Mr. Yarbrough conveniently labels our desire for accountability as revenge regarding the 2020 Election Coup in Georgia. YES, it was a real-life VOTING FRAUD COUP with devastating consequences far beyond the borders of Georgia. Mr. Yarbrough states, “People are tired of hearing about it. It is time to move one.” If you only consider the political world, Mr. Yarbrough maybe right. In the real world, the consequences are taking a never-ending toll on good people. These are people who have devoted a lifetime to hard work and playing by the rules and deserve better! Mr. Yarbrough’s column consistently insinuates that Trump voters are brainless and clueless. Maybe Mr. Yarbrough should take a deep breath and do a self-evaluation on his Election Fraud Denial Disorder. Here are the indisputable facts:
In April of 2022, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent out a campaign mailer in which he made the following statements: “My office takes illegal voting seriously and has the record to prove it. That is why I have initiated more referrals of election laws and rules violations than any other Secretary of State in Georgia history.” Raffensperger further states, “I have worked with the State Election Board and we have referred nearly 400 CASES to the Attorney General’s office or local district attorneys. That is a record.” This is the same Brad Raffensperger who refused ballot verification before Election Certification. Raffensperger has repeatedly stated that the 2020 election was the most “secure” election in Georgia history. If so, why has he referred a HISTORIC number of cases for investigation? Mr. Yarbrough seems to have selective memory on these undeniable facts.
We are all exhausted by division, selective accountability and the unbearable consequences of the Election Fraud Coup. The inconvenient truth is this coup was greatly enabled by the actions of Raffensperger and the self-serving inaction of Kemp. If Raffensperger and Kemp lose, Mr. Yarbrough will blame Trump and in turn, Trump influenced voters. The fact is if they lose, they only have themselves to blame. Mr. Yarbrough, most of us will hold our nose and vote for Raffensperger and Kemp because we are indeed intelligent enough to see the big picture. If they win, they will have been rewarded for betraying the public trust and it is shameful that this is our reality. In the meantime Mr. Yarbrough, stop attacking good people that voted for Trump.
