GA's Sterling to Trump: 'Stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence'
ATLANTA — Gabriel Sterling, the voting implementation manager with the Georgia Secretary of State's office is mad. During an afternoon news conference on Tuesday, he was visibly shaken up about some of the threats some election workers have received.
"It's all gone too far," he said with a raised voice to start the event. "All of it."
It comes after a 20-year-old contractor for Dominion received death threats, Sterling said. He said the worker received threats with a noose on social media -- saying he should be hanged for treason. He said the tech was transporting a report for batches in Gwinnett County.
"He was just trying to do his job," Sterling said. "It's not right."
...Sterling called on everyone, including the President and senators to condemn this type of action.
"Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language. Senators, you have not condemned this language or these actions. This has to stop! We need you to step up and if you're going to take a position of leadership - show some."
