Gov. Kemp is not having this circus of lies Trump want to perform.

Georgia's Republican governor responded to that with his own social media post declaring, "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward -- under oath -- and prove anything in a court of law.”

REPUBLICAN* Gov. Kemp.

AND, He put out that response IMMEDIATELY when Trump announced his latest attack on reality.

Where Trump is concerned, almost all Republicans do anything they can to weasel out of criticizing Trump, even when asked.

Hell, even Chris Christie, who is building his presidential campaign on attacking Trump, always pulls his punches when it comes to Trump going to prison. He said Georgia shouldn't have indicted him. He said New York shouldn't have indicted him.. He says Trump's conduct was unpresidential, but will not say what we all know: Donald Trump belongs in prison.

Christie just wants reduced punishment for people on power for when he gets caught with something similar.

I think he wants to tempt wavering Trump voters.

Kemp is on his second term and doesn't need Trump or his base. And while he's certainly a bit of a shit, he probably doesn't love the idea of his state government being accused of blatant corruption or incompetence (to say nothing of there perhaps being a small shred of respect for democracy buried somewhere deep in him)

Yeah, but Kemp also claimed that elections in Georgia are entirely fair, after blatantly meddling in Georgia's elections in order to become governor.

Yeah, the man definitely doesn't want people really investigating whether the GA elections were tampered with, because when you open that box who knows which way the shit will fly.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I think it is quite obvious which way the shit would fly. He doesn't want his very own investigation.
