Lawyer George ConwayGeorge Conway says Meadows is an “idiot” and a “disgrace” George Conway: “The biggest election fraud of 2020” is a lie by Trump, New York Attorney General predicts Trump will step down, allow Pence to forgive him MORE said early Monday that a recently revealed phone call between President TrumpDonald Trump Cotton breaks with Conservative colleagues who will oppose Trump’s vote count to award the Nunes Medal of Freedom: According to Hogan, lawmakers’ “plan” to overturn election results “mocks our system.” MONTH and Georgia’s secretary of state indicates the president is “delirious” and “desperate” for the past few days in the White House.

“It’s shocking, but not surprising,” Conway said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”. “The real question that comes up here and over and over again, is how delusional it is? Is this delusional or is it, or is he just desperate, and I think it’s a bit of both? ”.

In the call, the audio of which was obtained by The Washington Post and published on Sunday, Trump is heard pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, also a Republican, to “find” enough ballots to make the state be in his favor.

“The people of Georgia are angry, the people of the country are angry. And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you recalculated,” Trump told Raffensperger during the call. “All I want to do is this … I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we have won the state.”

Raffensperger tells Trump about the call the data he cites, alleging that voter fraud in places like Fulton County is “wrong” and maintains that he and other state election officials are confident the contest will be ‘has carried out fairly.

The news of the audio sparked a reaction among critics of Trump, including some Republicans, and Democrats who alleged that the president committed a criminal act that is grounds for dismissal.

Conway, founder of the anti-Trump political action group The Lincoln Project and a regular detractor of the president, told MSNBC that motivations outside the turn of the election result could have led to Trump’s plea to Raffensperger.

“He’s absolutely desperate to avoid leaving office on Jan. 20 and he’s delusional in the sense that he thinks that’s the way to do it,” Conway said. “And the reason he’s desperate, frankly, is because something more happens on January 20 than having to leave the White House grounds. Something more important. He loses his immunity from criminal liability on January 20.” .
