ATLANTA (AP) — Amy Kremer stood near the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, and told thousands of Donald Trump’s supporters that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.

“Hello, deplorables,” she said, embracing a label Hillary Clinton once lobbed against Trump’s followers.

Kremer, a conservative activist from suburban Atlanta, wasn’t part of the mob that hours later stormed the Capitol as Congress met to certify Democrat Joe Biden as Trump’s successor. But it was Kremer’s group that secured the permit for the “Save America” rally where Trump told the crowd to “fight like hell,” and she was among the most active fundraisers in the “Stop the Steal” movement advancing the lie that Biden’s victory was stolen.

As Trump seeks a return to the White House, Kremer is trying to win one of two Georgia seats on the Republican National Committee. The votes at a state party convention Saturday are expected to show how consumed by the 2020 election the GOP remains in Georgia and everywhere else.
