The Georgia election official who condemned former President Donald Trump for disseminating misleading information about voter fraud has turned on President Joe Biden for spreading lies about the state’s new voting laws.

Gabriel Sperling became a darling of the Left with an impassioned attack on Trump last year, saying he would be responsible for any violence triggered by unsubstantiated election fraud claims.

But now, he has waded into the controversy over new voting laws pushed by Peach State Republicans, dismissing Biden’s allegation that changes represent Jim Crow laws for the 21st century.

“The reaction to Georgia’s new election law has me worried again,” he wrote in the Washington Post. “Though I have not received any threats yet, thankfully, that same foreboding is creeping up again as the president of the United States and others once again spread lies about what is going on in Georgia.  “So I plead with the president once again: Someone is going to get hurt. Your words matter. The facts matter.”

“The president alleged last month that the bill ‘makes it a crime to provide water to voters while they wait in line,’” Sperling wrote. “But providing gifts of any value to voters to reward them for casting a ballot has been illegal in Georgia for years.”

He also dismissed the president’s allegation that adding a photo ID number requirement to absentee ballots imposes “rigid restrictions ... that will effectively deny the right to vote to countless voters,” pointing out that the measure has the support of Georgia Democrats and black voters and that studies suggest it does not reduce turnout.

And he said that the legislation supports the use of ballot drop boxes, turning an emergency pandemic response into a pillar of future elections.

“While this isn’t necessarily how Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, or I, would have written this law,” he conceded, “it is not what President Biden claims."

“We saw just three months ago how election disinformation such as this can lead to violence," Sperling said. "It was wrong then, and it’s wrong now.”

During those election fraud hearings with Giuliani, a couple of the Georgia state legislators seemed to be in panic mode, when Giuliani witnesses testified about rampant election fraud. One who stood in panic was Elena Parent, a Georgia legislator, who after hearing the evidence, had her "Alice in Wonderland" moment, in trying to refute the evidence in any way possible. Amazing the people who are elected to some of these state offices. 

What bothers me is the fact that almost no one from the republican side of the aisle complained about 2020 election collusion, when all we heard for 4 years was complaining about a stolen election by dems, and impeaching Trump 15 minutes after he is inaugurated.

Since the media and the swamp are on the side of leftists, conservatives had to fear real consequences for telling the truth.  That's what keeps them from speaking out now.  The left is evil and willing to destroy anyone that threatens their narrative and quest for power.  Conservatives need to understand they cannot fight the left with tolerance.

Got to admit the Dems are street fighting sunsofabatches...Now I read that, as i predicted, Mad Maxine is whipping up the country to riot if that trial  in Minnesota doesn't go the way it wants it to.
