At a rally on Wednesday, Powell and Wood solicited donations and urged Republican voters against casting their ballots for the two senators, arguing that Loeffler and Perdue — both ardent Trump allies — had been insufficiently supportive of the president.
“I think I would encourage all Georgians to make it known that you will not vote at all until your vote is secure,” Powell said.
“They have not earned your vote. Don’t you give it to them,” Wood added. “Why would you go back and vote in another rigged election, for God’s sake!”
Asked on Thursday what exactly was behind Powell and Wood’s efforts to discourage support for Georgia’s two Republican senators, Sterling said: “Who the heck knows? I mean, it’s ‘Looney Tunes.’ … I’m speechless. That’s the best I’ve got right now.”
Powell, who has advanced numerous conspiracy theories about election fraud and rigged voting machines, was ousted from the Trump campaign’s legal team last week. And Wood, a prominent Georgia attorney, has come under fire from conservative media after right-wing Breitbart News reported on his past support for Democrats.
Trump is scheduled to headline a rally in Georgia on Saturday for Loeffler and Perdue. But his appearance is already provoking concerns among Republicans in the state who anticipate the president will dwell on his unfounded fraud claims and repeat his recent attacks against Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
