(24,360 posts)I can not imagine having to go through what they did, but one thing is for sure;
If it was me, I would stay as far away from working with elections in this country as I possibly could.
Those motherfuckers that did those things to those women wont stop and they wont give up.
This democracy is utterly doomed if the Congress goes to the Fascists in November, plain and simple.

(9,760 posts)Looks like PTSD. Inflicted on her by racist, fascist thugs. All because she was doing a civic, public good, of which she was rightfully proud. Now she's been stripped of something that was a not-insignificant part of her identity. And she questions everything she does. The people involved in the instigation of and the harassment she's suffered ought to be in jail.

(81,085 posts)I wish I knew how to contact them just to send love and support, and apologize for the bullshit they had to put up with.
I got choked up, too, watching them both. Especially her daughter, Shaye Moss. I felt so bad for her! The pain on her face and yet the poise she showed while testifying - I hope they have MANY better days ahead. Profiles in courage - BOTH of them.

(49,928 posts)I have a friend who wants to send a supportive message. He was going to try to send a message through their House Representative (David Scott?) but maybe the lawyers would be a faster method.
Effete Snob
(8,387 posts)Given the ladies experiences, perhaps receiving messages from the public is not something they prefer to do. But, yes, the law firms are in business with the public like any other business and would likely pass on that they are receiving kind words.

LenaBaby61
(6,972 posts)Of course racist Rudy and tRump tried to blame two Black women as the reason fatso lost the election
Black women as scapegoats by racists like these .......
Black women in history have always had to be the shero's and hero's.
The white privileged, racist nerve of them .... Trying to do a citizen's arrest on Grandma. She could have had a heart attack.
May Karma come down on Rudy, tRump and all of the rest of those devils hard, hot and heavy.
(Sorry to insult DEVILS like that, but ...).
Bless Shay, Grandma and Lady Ruby

(6 posts)I cried today watching this!!!
I cannot imagine the fear these brave ladies felt when people showed up at their houses - the fear they continue to feel, not wanting to say their names aloud in the grocery store.
No one should have to live in fear of their life in the United States for doing their civic duty!
No one should be targeted by the President of the United States for doing their civic duty.
mcar
(42,278 posts)as I watched their testimony. To have to leave your home, leave a job you loved and have your grandmother harassed - all because you just did your job - is truly terrifying.

(83,623 posts)I loved how the committee filed past them in the end thanking them and a few hugs as well. Two brave black women, the testimony made me tear up.
Thanks for honoring them, Bill.

These workers were identified, harassed, and had their lives turned upside down by the Republican mob.

(22,214 posts)The ladies are on after the break but the whole hearing is great
Their testimony is about the harrassment and threats they received in Georgia after the elections. The daughter worked for the Elections Commission and the mom was a poll worker.
I hope there is at least a book or documentary or TV movie

(5,810 posts)And to add insult to injury, harassment could escalate because they were brave enough to testify today. There is nothing lower than Donald Trump and his henchmen. At times like this I wish I believed in hell because that is exactly where theyd be consigned. I do hope that the long arm of the law and the Justice system will catch up with them ASAP and hold them accountable for what they did. 🤬😡🤬

(14,557 posts)Trump supporters is despicable.
Just wrong on so many levels.
Once again, permit me to say that my fondest wish is this culminates in perp walks by Trump, Giuliani, Eastman, and all the other disgusting traitors who tried to keep the con-man Trump in office.
Indictments. Trials. Imprisonment.
