CNN anchor Jim Acosta and a top Georgia Republican sparred Thursday over former President Trump's false claims of a stolen election in 2020. “You’re making suggestions that that there was some kind of tomfoolery and shenanigans going on last time around," Acosta told Josh McKoon, chair of the Georgia GOP. "Your party’s own secretary of state said that that was not the case and that it was a free and fair election and that it was secure. I’m just saying. Josh, what you’re saying is horse crap." McKoon responded by saying, "You can call it whatever you want to." "I've been here the last four years, you haven't," McKoon said before accusing Acosta of "having an agenda," as the two argued further. Trump and many of his fellow Republicans have continued to suggest the 2020 election was not conducted fairly, raising concerns Trump will not concede defeat if he loses the election next month. Acosta played the now-infamous phone call of Trump asking Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" the votes to undo President Biden's victory in the Peach State. "It's important for your viewers to understand that [you're] constantly trying to push a dishonest narrative," McKoon said. "What is the dishonest narrative ... the election was secure last time around, Josh," the anchor shot back. "You're just lying." The exchange was first highlighted by Mediaite.
