Description

Previous Chapter:https://pardontheinsurrection.buzzsprout.com/2003879/13191754You won't believe the startling lengths President Trump and his allies went to in an attempt to overturn the 2020 US election results. We're peeling back the layers on the relentless pressure campaign waged on state and local officials, examining the infamous phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the broader perspective that paints a picture of a comprehensive effort to subvert democracy. Strap in for a journey through a historical event that shocked the nation.We dig into the tactics employed by the Trump administration, including the 10-day plan for certifying President Trump's victory and the intense lobbying of Republican representatives in Congress and swing states. We also expose the personal consequences public servants faced in the wake of these efforts, from harassment to intimidation and even violent threats. The human toll of these actions is staggering, as we hear firsthand accounts from those directly targeted, like Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt and Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers.In the rest of chapter 2, we turn the spotlight on Ruby Freeman, a woman who found herself on the receiving end of the Trump team's campaign to overturn the 2020 election results. Freeman's story gives us a raw and genuine insight into the personal impact of being targeted in one of the most shocking attempts to subvert a democratic election in the United States. Join us for this gripping and comprehensive dissection of an unprecedented chapter in American politics.
