CNN Host Takes Down Georgia Republican's 'Horse Crap' Election Talk In Tense Interview
HuffPost
Jim Acosta checked the Georgia Republican Party chair for "just lying" about the 2020 election in his state.
CNN anchor Jim Acosta sparred with Georgia Republican Party Chair Josh McKoon about the upcoming presidential election and Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 contest in the state in a contentious interview on Thursday.
After Acosta asked if McKoon would “trust the results this time around,” the state party chair claimed it would be “much more secure election than 2020.”
“We don’t have ballot drop boxes scattered randomly all over the state. We don’t have election officials —,” McKoon said.
“But Josh, you’re making suggestions that there was some kind of tomfoolery and shenanigans going on last time around,” said Acosta, who added that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) has said Trump lost “fair and square” in a secure, “free and fair” election.
Acosta later added, “I’m just, I’m just saying, Josh, what you’re saying is horse crap.”
