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)
