“This will fall directly on President Trump’s shoulders and his actions since November 3,” Sterling, a Republican, told CNN’s Amara Walker newspaper.

“When you tell people, your vote doesn’t count and it was stolen, and people start to believe it, so you go to the two senators and ask the Secretary of State to resign and start a civil war in the Republican Party when we need it if it comes together, it all comes from its decision-making since the November 3 election, “he continued.

Sterling has been one of Trump’s most ferocious Republican critics in the state of Peach, frequently challenging the President’s baseless allegations of widespread electoral fraud.

Georgia’s lieutenant governor, Geoff Duncan (R), also expressed concerns about the impact that Trump’s claims could have on participation in the Republican Party, counting ABC News on Tuesday that he is “absolutely” concerned that the president’s comments could depress the party’s turnout in the second round.

“Unfortunately, many people in our party in the past two months have been talking about misinformation, electoral fraud and creating distraction,” said Duncan.

On Monday, Sterling unmasked a series of allegations of Trump electoral fraud point-to-point during a news conference, and asked voters to trust the state’s electoral process.

“Given the nature of the statements by the president and several other people who have been aligned with him previously … we are specifically asking you and saying: please come and vote tomorrow,” he said.

Sterling’s comments followed the release of the audio of a liaison with Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), in which the president tells Raffensperger to “find” more votes in the presidential election to turn the state over to him. favor. Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate in decades to win Georgia, giving Democrats hope for both runoff runs.
