He did resurrect his attack on election worker Ruby Freeman, however, asking in the statement, “How’s Ruby Freeman doing?”:

Former President Trump mentioned Ruby Freeman in his phone call where he tried to "find" 11,000 votes.

He had placed the blame of his lost election on a Black woman who worked at a polling place because 4chan decided she rigged it, based on nothing.https://t.co/9GAQUH1fgN

The state’s lieutenant governor also contradicting Trump on his call to boycott Georgia businesses in retaliation for their criticism of the new law:

One of the companies Trump targeted was Coca-Cola:

But, it seems, he hasn’t quite embraced the boycott himself yet. A photo tweeted by Stephen Miller on Monday appears to include a bottle of Diet Coke:
