A top Georgia election official, Gabriel Sterling, says President Donald Trump is making so many false claims about the election that it is like a game of whack-a-mole to debunk them all.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday, Sterling was asked to respond to Trump’s repeated claims that there was widespread fraud in Georgia. He said, “It is a game of whack-a-mole to even say ‘the president’s statements are false, they’re misinformation, they’re stoking anger and fear.'”

“This undermines democracy. We have got to get to a point where responsible people act responsibly,” he added.

He went on to say the political climate is “getting much worse,” and argue that there has been a growing inclination among Democrats and Republicans over the years to sow doubts about election results.

Sterling has previously made an impassioned plea to Trump and elected Republicans to tamp down the rhetoric around the election, as IJR reported.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Sterling noted that several Georgia elections officials have received threats — including a 20 year-old-tech who “has death threats and a noose put out saying he should be hung for treason because he was transferring a report on batches from an EMS to a county computer so he could read it.”

“It has to stop. Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language. 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,” Sterling said.

He added, “Yes, fight for every legal vote, go through your due process. We encourage you. Use your First Amendment. That’s fine. Death threats, physical threats, intimidation — it’s too much. It’s not right. They’ve lost the moral high ground to claim that it is.”

He also argued that officials who have not condemned the threats and heated rhetoric are “complicit in this.”
