Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Shea Moss, were election workers in Georgia during the 2020 election.

Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States to target you?

They were driven into hiding when then President Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, falsely accused Ruby and her daughter of rigging the election against Trump.

The President of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one, but he targeted me, Lady Ruby, a small business owner, a mother, a proud American citizen who stand up to help Fulton County running the election in the middle of the pandemic.

And Lady Ruby, she wasn't the only one targeted. The January 6th Committee has been hearing testimony from people whose lives have been upended by the lie that the election was stolen from Trump.

Among the people who've testified is Ruby's daughter, Shea, she's also an election worker.

A lot of threats, wishing death upon me, telling me that I'll be in jail with my mother and saying things like, be glad it's 2020 and not 1920.

Also called as a witness, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, who resisted Trump's efforts to, quote, find the votes necessary for him to win Georgia.

After the election, my email, my cell phone was doxed and so I was getting text all over the country and then eventually my wife started getting the text and her typically came in as sexualized attacks, which we're disgusting.

Raffensberger's deputy, Gabriel Sterling, publicly disputed Trump's claims of election fraud and he received threats as well.

The regular tweet that for lack of better word was a straw that broke the camel's back said, had his name, you committed treason, may God have mercy on your soul with a slowly twisting gif of a noose.

Even the Republican speaker of Arizona's house, Russi Bowers, who resisted the pressure from Giuliani and Trump to destertify Arizona's electors, was the target of harassment.

The panel trucks with videos of me proclaiming me to be a pedophile and a pervert and a corrupt and politician and blaring loudspeakers in my neighborhood and leaving literature both on my property and arguing and threatening with neighbors and with myself.
