Politics,Elections,Georgia,Georgia Senate Runoffs
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger demanded former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) apologize to his wife on Monday after she received death threats following the senator’s call for the secretary's resignation in November.
Raffensperger called for an apology after Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked him to respond to Perdue calling it “disgusting” to have a conversation with President Trump recorded, which The Washington Post released Sunday.
“Sen. Perdue still owes my wife an apology for all the death threats she got after he asked for my resignation,” he told Fox News's “Your World.” “And I have not heard one peep from that man since.”
