Election Officials & Trump’s Wrath: Mother & Daughter in GA Were His Victims

Attack on GA Election Official Ruby Freeman

(Part of the June 21, 2022 Committee hearing)

Startling and penetrating testimony from two GA election officials at the June 21, 2022 House Public Hearing re: the January 6 Capitol attack posted in part below from the Washington Post and a PBS News Hour video clip with this headline:

“Two GA election workers (Mother and Daughter) describe hateful threats after Trump’s false claims”

The daughter, Shaye Moss, said her life forever changed on December 10, 2020, when Rudy Giuliani, then Trump’s top campaign lawyer, publicly claimed that she and her mother (Ruby Freeman), also a fellow poll worker in Fulton County, GA had rigged the outcome in her state.

Moss’s supervisor suggested that day that she check her social media accounts to see if she had received any threats, as others in the office had. She was stunned by what she saw when she pulled up her Facebook Messenger account.

Ms. Moss said at the January 6 House Select Committee hearing on June 21, 2022 many of the messages toward her were “racist and hateful.” (Ms. Moss and her mother are both black). 

She continued: “It was just a lot of horrible things there. A lot of threats wishing death upon me, telling me I’ll be in jail with my mother, and saying things like, “Be glad it’s 2020 and not 1920.’”

Ms. Moss said that was only the beginning. She said she eventually stopped going to the grocery store, where she feared acquaintances might say her name and call attention from believers of Trump’s voter-fraud claims. Election deniers showed up at the home of her grandmother and tried to push their way in to search for evidence of fraud. 

Both she and her mother, Ruby Freeman, were forced into hiding. They quit their jobs with the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections, where Moss had proudly served as a poll worker for more than a decade.

Her mother said: “There is nowhere I feel safe.”

Ruby Freeman testimony on June 21, 2022 

My 2 Cents: The testimony was stark, very concerning, and emotional regarding the president of United States and his nastiness towards Ruby Freeman and labeling her a criminal.

Trump must be severely prosecuted, tried, convicted, and hopefully imprisoned for many years.

And, thank goodness for such loyal election workers as Shaye Moss and her mother “Lady” Ruby Freeman in GA.

Thanks for stopping by.
