Brooke Baldwin Quotes Georgia Republican’s Warning Senate Runoffs Likely to be ‘Total, Complete, Absolute Sh*tshow’

‘Pardon my French, this is a direct quote’

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin didn’t hold back on Monday, repeating verbatim the full, R-rated version of a Georgia Republican’s ominous warning to the network about the party’s prospects in tomorrow’s twin Senate runoff elections.

Speaking with GOP strategist Doug Heye on her afternoon show, Baldwin began by recapping the just-concluded press conference by Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling, who methodically debunked the absurd conspiracy claims made by President Donald Trump in his by-now infamous, hour-long phone call soliciting election fraud with Georgia’s secretary of state.

“He kept saying: ‘Don’t self-suppress your vote,'” Baldwin noted, as Baldwin alluded to Trump spitefully dismissing the Senate special election as “illegal and invalid” on Friday.

Then, turning to Heye, she said: “Let me read you this one quote, and I want you two cents on all of this.”

“This is from a Georgia Republican to one of our CNN folks on the ground there,” she said. “Quote: ‘No one has any rational reason to believe it’ — tomorrow, the voting — ‘will go well, The likelihood of a total, complete, absolute shitshow,’ — pardon my French, this is a direct quote — ‘is off the charts. If disaster is avoided it will be sheer dumb luck.'”

“I’m terrified what could happen, because Republicans, speaking purely political here, Republicans should win these races tomorrow,” Heyes said, pointing out that his party has won seven out of eight special elections since 1992.
