Mediaite reports:
President Donald Trump complains a lot about “fake news,” but on Tuesday night he shared some of his own. Trump continued to attack Governor Brian Kemp and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger as he said they “are a complete disaster and don’t have a clue, or worse.”
And then he went on to weave some kind of conspiracy that Raffensperger’s brother works for China and somehow that’s connected. There is just one small, teeny-tiny little problem: Brad Raffensperger does not have a brother, as pointed out by Georgia reporters.
As you’ll see at the link above, this latest batshit claim originated on the homocon fake news site Gateway Pundit.
I love the Great State of Georgia, but the people who run it, from the Governor, @BrianKempGA, to the Secretary of State, are a complete disaster and don’t have a clue, or worse. Nobody can be this stupid. Just allow us to find the crime, and turn the state Republican….

…The consent decree signed by the “Secretary”, with the consent of Kemp, is perhaps even more poorly negotiated than the deal that John Kerry made with Iran. Now it turns out that Brad R’s brother works for China, and they definitely don’t want “Trump”. So disgusting! #MAGA

What if I told you Brad Raffensperger doesn’t even have a brother?

The “theory” is that Ron Raffensperger is Brad Raffensperger’s brother, and somehow because Huawei is a Chinese company, that somehow China owns Dominion (it doesn’t) and somehow nefariously installed machines in GA.
Pesky thing is – Raffensperger doesn’t *have* a brother. https://t.co/D49tlQ1cvG
