   Gabriel Sterling, a top official in the Georgia secretary of   
   state’s office, condemned President Donald Trump and the state’s   
   two Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, in a   
   fiery press conference Tuesday after a local election worker   
   received death threats.   
      
   Sterling, who works for Republican Secretary of State Brad   
   Raffensperger, opened the press conference by saying an election   
   contractor in Gwinnett County had received death threats after   
   conspiracy theorists spread videos of the worker on social media.   
      
   Sterling did not name the worker, who he called a “twenty-   
   something tech” working for Dominion Voting Systems, a voting   
   machine vendor that has become the subject of unfounded right-   
   wing conspiracy theories regarding the election results.   
   Sterling said the worker has “death threats and a noose put out,   
   saying he should be hung for treason” and that his family has   
   been harassed. Social media posts falsely accuse the worker by   
   name of manipulating data. (POLITICO is also not further   
   identifying him for his safety.)   
      
   “Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this   
   language,” he said. “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.”   
      
   “Mr. President, it looks like you likely lost the state of   
   Georgia,” Sterling said later in the press conference. “Stop   
   inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence. Someone   
   is going to get hurt, someone is going to get shot, someone is   
   going to get killed. And it’s not right.”   
      
   Sterling noted that both he and Raffensperger, along with   
   Raffensperger’s wife, have also received threats. Sterling also   
   brought up Joe DiGenova, an attorney for the president, calling   
   for Chris Krebs to be shot. Krebs was fired by Trump from   
   leading the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and   
   Infrastructure Security Agency after saying the election was   
   secure, and DiGenova later tried to portray his comment as a   
   hyperbole.   
      
   “It has to stop,” Sterling said. “This is elections. This is the   
   backbone of democracy. And all of you who have not said a damn   
   word are complicit in this. It is too much. … It is not right.   
   They have lost the moral high ground to claim that it is.”   
      
   Dominion, which supplies voting systems for Georgia, has been at   
   the center of conspiracy theories circulated by the president   
   and his allies. The president tweeted falsely that Dominion has   
   deleted millions of votes, among other conspiracy theories he   
   has spread about the election.
