President Trump has been caught on tape committing what would be considered a crime if you or I did it: pressuring public officials in Georgia to falsify the results of the 2020 presidential election. He urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes — the exact number Trump needs to exceed Joe Biden’s winning margin.
I followed Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal and impeachment proceedings intently as a college student. Trump’s push to nullify a democratic election and disenfranchise millions of U.S. voters is far more damaging to our country. Like Nixon, he must be held accountable so that his attempted putsch doesn’t set a precedent for future presidential losers.
