Donald Trump on Thursday night lashed out at Republican governors on Twitter for not supporting his conspiracy theories about the 2020 election as he refuses to concede to President-elect Joe Biden.
The first target of the president’s rage was Republican Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona, who refused to answer a call from the president as he was about to certify the election results. Trump lost the state to Biden, who was the first Democrat to carry Arizona since Bill Clinton won the state in 1996.
“Governor @dougducey of Arizona hired a lawyer today. Wouldn’t allowing a strong check of ballots, which would be easier and so much better for our Country, be easier on him and the great State of Arizona?” Trump tweeted.

The president then aimed his fury at Republican Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia. Trump was the first Republican to lose the state since Clinton carried it with less than 44% in the three-way 1992 race.
“People in Georgia got caught cold bringing in massive numbers of ballots and putting them in “voting” machines. Great job @BrianKempGA!” the president ranted.
