George conway says President Donald Trump’s phone call on Saturday with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) is “shocking” but “not surprising.”
Conway, the co-founder of the Lincoln Project and a conservative attorney, weighed in on the phone call where Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” more than 11,000 votes in an effort to overturn the election results.
“It’s shocking, but not surprising,” Conway said during a “Morning Joe” interview on Monday.
He continued, “The real question that pops up here and pops up, again and again, is how delusional is he? Is he that delusional or is this — or is he just desperate, and I think it’s a little bit of both.”
While saying Trump is “absolutely desperate to avoid leaving office on January 20th,” Conway called the president “delusional in the sense that he thinks this is the way to do it.”
“The reason why he’s desperate, frankly, is because something more than him having to leave the grounds of the White House happens on January 20th. Something more important. He loses his immunity from criminal liability on January 20th,” Conway said.

Conway also tweeted in the early morning, “The president committing criminal acts on unsecure telephone lines is the actual national security threat here. It’s he who should be investigated.”
