Trump campaign staff on 2020 election lies: āfan the flameā
A newly released audio recording offers a behind-the-scenes look at how former President Donald Trumpās campaign team in a pivotal battleground state knew they had been outflanked by Democrats in the 2020 presidential election.

A newly released audio recording offers a behind-the-scenes look at how former President Donald Trumpās campaign team in a pivotal battleground state knew they had been outflanked by Democrats in the 2020 presidential election. But even as they acknowledged defeat, they pivoted to allegations of widespread fraud that were ultimately debunked ā repeatedly ā by elections officials and the courts.

The Wisconsin political operatives in the strategy session even praised Democratic turnout efforts in the stateās largest counties and appeared to joke about their efforts to engage Black voters, according to the recording obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. The audio centers on Andrew Iverson, who was the head of Trumpās campaign in the state.
āHereās the drill: Comms is going to continue to fan the flame and get the word out about Democrats trying to steal this election. Weāll do whatever they need (inaudible) help with. Just be on standby in case thereās any stunts we need to pull,ā Iverson said.

Iverson is now the Midwest regional director for the Republican National Committee.

Itās unclear whether the staff in Wisconsin coordinated their message directly with campaign officials in Washington.
Parts of the Nov. 5 meeting also center on Republican outreach efforts to the stateās Black community.
At one point, the operatives laugh over needing āmore Black voices for Trump.ā Iverson also references their efforts to engage with Black voters.
āWe ever talk to Black people before? I donāt think so,ā he said, eliciting laughter from others in the room.
I don't know what more it would take for the rubes to realize they were hoaxed by Trump and the GOP. In some cases, a lot of rubes will continue to parrot and bleev the Big Lie.
This attempt to overthrow our democracy is going to forever be a huge black stain on the GOP.
