In an exclusive interview with Reuters, Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, his wife Tricia, and their family faced threats of violence months after the election that former President Donald Trump erroneously says was marred by fraud.
Brad Raffensperger wife: Who is Tricia Raffensperger?
Tricia Raffensperger, whose husband was made persona non grata inside his state GOP after claiming that President Joe Biden won Georgia in November, spoke to Reuters about the harassment and provided threatening text messages she received in April.
Threats and harassment forced Tricia Raffensperger’s family into hiding for over a week in late November, according to Reuters.
Around the same time, intruders broke into a family member’s home, and members of the far-right extremist group the Oath Keepers were discovered outside the Raffenspergers’ home.
“It appeared to us that they were essentially scouting our home to see what kind of security measures we had in place.
So we simply decided to take an early Thanksgiving break, and that’s exactly what we did “CNN spoke with Brad Raffensperger.
