Watch as Arizona Gov. Ducey Silences Call From Trump Just as He is Certifying Election Results

By

This is so full of awesome that we must bring it to you.

It has to be set-up perfectly to deeply appreciate the ass-kicking that Arizona Governor Doug Ducey gave either Trump or Pence today as he was certifying Arizona’s election. And, sort of recorded evidence of one of them attempting felonious election interference. Ducey likely saved Trump or Pence from doing it with video evidence.

Obviously, because Trump lost Arizona by a reasonably close margin, Trump is trying to stop everything in certification and send things to the courts or legislatures.

Meanwhile, we need to point out that a couple of Republican Governors, Kemp, and Ducey, Georgia, and Arizona, both followed the law today in certifying their elections, and in doing so, they essentially told the White House to go shove its objections up its oval orifice.

In this video, we see Ducey preparing to sign off on certification. Ducey’s phone had a ringtone set to play Hail to the Chief when the White House called so he would know to pick up. Except this time, he silences it and leaves them hanging, not answering.

Breath in the beauty. This is elegant. And it’s coming from a hardcore Republican who just doesn’t happen to ascribe to Trump gets whatever Trump wants. This Republican understands there are things called “laws” and his oath is to follow them and not the guy calling on his cell phone offering cold cash or “an accident” if he signs that piece of paper (probably not). And the dude just sets it aside while finishing his work. Thank you to the election gods. We put up with so much and this is our reward!

You gotta REALLY listen closely.

I could watch that 50 times today. And others appreciated it, too.

This is exactly right and what we pointed out above.

He is screwed with Republicans in the state but he’s not screwed by the FBI in the next term.

We’ll end it right there because we’re considering the same thing.

Peace, y’all
