Trump recorded pressuring Wayne County canvassers not to certify 2020 vote

Then-President Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News and revealed publicly for the first time.

On a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call, which also involved Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump told Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two GOP Wayne County canvassers, they'd look "terrible" if they signed the documents after they first voted in opposition and then later in the same meeting voted to approve certification of the county’s election results, according to the recordings.

"We've got to fight for our country," said Trump on the recordings, made by a person who was present for the call with Palmer and Hartmann. "We can't let these people take our country away from us."

McDaniel, a Michigan native and the leader of the Republican Party nationally, said at another point in the call, "If you can go home tonight, do not sign it. ... We will get you attorneys."

To which Trump added: "We'll take care of that."

Two days after the phone call, McDaniel sent out this tweet:

Ronna McDaniel was a key conspirator in the plot

[underpants]

1. So does she host the nightly news 1 or 3 nights a week?

[riversedge]

8. I want to laugh but stranger things have happened lately

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Game over. That is why she doesn't belong as a commentator.

She should have legal issues from that phone call. She has conflicts of interest, she's spoken and is now speaking out the other side of her mouth.

And NBC execs have to be tone deaf, blind, ignorant not to have known this. It was all over the news and is not easily forgotten.

[erronis]

10. The NBC execs are willing accomplices. They work to promote the RW agendas.

[Aristus]

12. I don't see how anyone could become a television executive unless they ARE tone deaf, blind, and ignorant.

I mean, it's kind of their thing.

When someone back in the Fifties referred to television as a wasteland of mediocrity, he had to be thinking of the executive dunces in charge.

[Cha]

20. The "genius" suits.

[Mr.Bill]

3. Is there a DU pool on

when NBC cuts their losses and bails on her?

This is going to get very ugly whether they realize it or not.

[calimary]

4. Gee whiz, that wouldn't be the same Republican chieftain Ronna McDaniel, would it?

Fortunately, there's only one of those. But that's already one too many.

[mahina]

5. Exactly!

[Wonder Why]

6. He didn't say he'd PAY for those attorneys he'd get.

[ShazzieB]

15. They would have been like the lawyers Trumpworld got for Cassidy Hutchinson.

Not there to help their putative client but to protect their real client, DJT.

[mountain grammy]

7. Now see... Hillary should have done that

because if ever an election was stolen.... sorry, vodka talking.

[Aristus]

13. Oh, don't do that to me, mountain grammy.

I'm still about a month away from easing back into cocktail night. Trying to lose the COVID weight.

For sure, we're going to have to buy each other a drink once I'm back in it.

Until then, enjoy!

[mountain grammy]

16. You bet

[surfered]

9. Thanks for reminding us...

…insurrection is being normalized.

[Cha]

19. Yeah! Excellent Way to put It.

[chouchou]

11. "We are going to reclaim the United States of America...

...for the people who vote for freedom"

Sounds like a horrible movie at 3:20 AM who Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 4 out of a 100. ..Starring Jane Doe and Bob Forgetful.

[Layzeebeaver]

14. Only now we get this?

Whatever… the fix is in at some point.

[Cha]

17. It's Not your country TSF.. Putin's Puppet. .. And fucking Ronna

does Not deserve a gig on msnbc.. get to Faux, RRM.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. I remember spending hours

watching the livestream of their public meeting (including comments from the public) and the drama of the one (R) who finally relented later (the board has 2 of each party and the Republicans initially refused to budge).

[czarjak]

21. Lost in a landslide.

Just don't admit it. It's not a lie if you believe it came to life.

[dchill]

22. She has orcs in high places.

[dlk]

23. Elevating someone who participated in the plot to overthrow our government shows where NBC's true loyalties lie

It's with their bank accounts, first, last, and always. President Biden is bringing back a strong middle class and the billionaires are terrified; they might have to pay higher taxes. They have shown a willingness to go to any lengths to protect their power and influence, including fracturing our democracy, as this outrageous McDaniel hire has demonstrated.

[DJ Porkchop]

24. Dana Nessel needs to add McDaniel to her list.

25. All I want to know is who the fuck sat on this tape for 3+ years?

They only *just* started to care about democracy?
