Gabriel Sterling was voting system implementation manager for his home state of Georgia during the heated aftermath of the 2020 election. President Trump and his supporters were claiming the election had been stolen, and were not accepting facts as provided by Sterling and other Republicans in the Georgia  administration. When a 20 year old employee and his family received death threats, an angry Sterling fronted the media and delivered this ad lib speech that went around the world.
