Georgia Lieutenant Governor
Geoff Duncan pushed back on the Texas attorney general’s long-shot lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election and likened those Republican politicians who have signed onto it as among the millions of Americans who have been “duped” by a misinformation campaign.
The Georgia state official appeared on CNN
on Friday evening, where he has made a few previous appearances to defend his state’s now-certified election as having been through two recounts with no change in the final result. Recently, Duncan has been a guest on the network to warn about the “mountains of misinformation” polluting the discourse about his state’s election and admitted that even his inner circle of friends and family had been caught up in the phony claims of voter fraud on social media and shared some of the conspiracy theories with him.
