that video that trump and company got so fixated on, all that video showed was shay moss and herd mom, two election workers literally just doing jobs on election night, taking ballots out of the secure containers they were transported in and running them through the ballot counting machine like they were supposed to. but trump and giuliani and all trump folks and our friends at fox news kept running this snippet of video over and overet again saying it showed a crime even though it showed normal election workers doing normal stuff the normal way with no malfeasance whatsoever. but them fixating on this video, trump not only showing the video, conservative m.i.a. media, showing the video, giuliani, showing the video and trump specifically naming the womentr in the video as the woms who stole the election from him, that has profound consequences. shay moss and her mom, even her teenaged son got inundated with vulgar and racist harassment and death threats. shay moss's mother called 911 multiple times, because people were showing uple at her house, and banging on her door, making threats

it was horrible. >> testimony from shay moss and her mother there in the deposition hearing. w york times election officials still unnerved by threats that lies unleashed. miss moss and her mother became the targets of trump supporters after mr. giuliani falsely accused them in a georgia state senate hearing of passing around usb drives like "vials of heroin or cocaine to steal the election from trump." what her mother actually handed her ms. moss testified on tuesday was a ginger mint candy. let's hear from don in riverside, california on the republican line about yesterday's testimony. go ahead. >> we have had to listen to adam schiff on every news channel and he's always been the same way saying he's got positive proof that donald trump stolen the election or donald trump is colluding with the russians. donald trump this and that. he is the biggest liar out of there on that committee and if you look at him right now he looks really tired. host: new york city is next up, sophia on the independent line. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. in 2016, roger stone
