«I am 100% certified to tell you that it was inappropriate. And it certainly did not help the situation,» Geoff Duncan told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on «New Day.» «It was based on misinformation, it was based on, you know, all types of theories that have been debunked and disproved over the course of the last 10 weeks.»
The weekend call, coming days before Congress is set to certify Biden’s victory, immediately raised ethical and legal questions and provoked outrage among Democrats, though Republicans have largely avoided criticizing Trump.
Duncan, who voted for Trump in the 2020 election, said he was «disappointed» by the phone call and defended Raffensperger, saying his answers to Trump’s questions about the legitimacy of Georgia’s election were accurate.
«I’m certainly glad to have him on the other end of that call, to stand true and to follow the letter of the law,» he said. «I was proud to hear his voice, I was proud to hear his answers, although they weren’t what the President wanted to hear or anybody else on that side of the call wanted to hear.»
Duncan, however, demurred when asked if he believes the call should be referred to the state attorney general for investigation, saying he will «let the attorneys figure that out.»
«I’ve continued to encourage everybody, including the President, to stay focused on tomorrow. That phone call did absolutely nothing to help, you know, drive turnout for Republicans here in Georgia, for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue,» he said. «I was disappointed and quite honestly, I can’t imagine anyone on that staff encouraging that call or not giving him the advice to hang up and move on to the next subject.»
