[Music] I'm curious I was listening to Donald Trump the other day and he still talks about the election being stolen we all know it wasn't we've seen that we've we've litigated that literally in courts and and in Mente interviews but I wonder given the fact that he still uses that language and so often when we confront Republican officials about that I often get people bring up remarks that you made after after your governor race uh with Brian kimp in Georgia that you lost that he won and the comments that you made after that I wonder if you have regrets about the language that you use casting doubt on the outcome of that election in light of what we now see and how Republicans use that to to bolster their defense of Trump's claims of a stolen election well I'll go back to elementary school again and use comprehension as the basis I acknowledge that Brian km won that election what I called into question was the process that was used and courts agreed with us again and again during the overtime after election day and again afterwards so much so that he actually signed legislation to fix some of the problems that we that we were able to reveal I never once said that he did not win what I said is that the process was flawed and that's why we had the Voting Rights Act in the United States that's why we have the help America vote act we know that sometimes we don't get it right and it takes calling out the mistakes to improve I am always going to be proud of fighting for voters fighting for Americans making certain that every vote that gets cast gets counted that's work that I'm proud to do whether I'm a candidate or a citizen and I'm going to make certain that in 2024 every vote that gets cast gets counted and that every American who wants to vote and is eligible to do so feels comfortable that they can do so in our country well I do remember the time you you told the New York Times I won you did describe it as a stolen election the courts did side with the Secretary of State Brad raffensberger and some the challenges as wellit Caitlyn that's actually Incorrect and normally I wouldn't cut you off but you're repeating disinformation what the court said if you read the entire uh opinion was that despite the flaws in the process that we acknowledge that the courts acknowledged they were no longer permitted to complete and fix them they could not correct the mistakes because the law had changed between 2018 and 2022 when the case was finally adjudicated there was never a moment where they said what happened was right what they said was there was no capacity to correct the mistakes and so it's important that we not only use the headlines but we read the fine print because that's where the mistakes are made that's where the challenges are I believed then and I believe now I have never been the governor of George I have never claimed to be the governor of George what I have said is that voters were denied their full rights courts agreed with me in the time of that election they agreed with me post elction the state made changes to the flaws some of them unfortunately too many of them have been restored in different ways and we continue to face voter suppression not only in Georgia but around the country because Republicans are using the ability to change the laws because we no longer have the protection of the Voting Rights Act to make it harder for average voters to show up at the polls and have their votes counted that should be the that should be where our focus is that should be where our attention is and anyone who tries to distract us from that is not doing the work of protecting democracy and America and I take your point that obviously you did not agree with the laws that were in place you didn't like the new ones that that Governor Kemp signed but and we do read past the headlines in the fine print and and one of them the court said that although Georgia's election system is not perfect the challenge practices violate neither the Constitution nor the Voting Rights Act and so I just wanted to give you a chance to to respond to that given it is something we've heard from Senator Ted Cruz and others on the show Stacy Abrams thank you for your time tonight thank you Caitlyn
