Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) — who is running for Georgia governor — falsely claimed for the first time that he didn’t lose to Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in the 2021 runoffs claiming that he and Donald Trump were both victims of “stolen” elections, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
Said Perdue: “Let me be very clear. Very clear. In the state of Georgia, thanks to Brian Kemp, our elections were absolutely stolen. He sold us out.”
