The Washington Post reports:
Giuliani called out several Black election workers in Fulton County, alleging that they were “passing around USB ports as if they were vials of heroin or cocaine.” He also referred to some election workers by name while questioning their actions — despite repeated pleas from state election officials to protect the safety of election workers.
The president’s legal team also questioned the security of the voting machines used in Georgia, repeating a widely debunked conspiracy theory. At one point, as the lawyers played a video of an election official, Giuliani was heard saying off-camera: “This is really good stuff,” adding: “We should try to get this on Newsmax, on OAN.”
Rudy Giuliani accuses Fulton County election workers of passing ballots around like “vials of heroin or cocaine” and bemoans that they’re “still walking around Georgia.” He then calls for their homes to be searched.
Not only reckless rhetoric, but exceedingly racist. #gapol

Rudy Giuliani to a Georgia House committee on debunked video of Fulton Co. ‘suitcases’ that were standard ballot containers: “They look like they’re passing out dope, not just ballots…your R gov, R lt. gov & your R sec of state persist in continuing in a cover-up of a crime.” pic.twitter.com/xQYcR2PU2H

The president’s attny then named Black Fulton County elections workers & said they were “passing around USB ports like they were vials of heroin or cocaine.” We are not airing names. The workers have received death threats even after GA Sec of State investigators cleared them.

this is what naked racism looks like:
“Giuliani called out several Black election workers in Fulton County, alleging that they were ‘passing around USB ports as if they were vials of heroin or cocaine.’ “
