Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday offered his strongest denunciation to date of efforts by his fellow Republicans to go after Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, dismissing the moves as “political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment.”
Some Republicans in Washington and Georgia have been attacking Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis since even before she announced the indictment of former President Donald Trump for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. Kemp said that any calls for a special session to impeach Willis or defund her office were wrong and that she had done nothing to merit removal.
A special session, the second-term governor said, “would ignore current Georgia law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government.”
“The bottom line is that in the state of Georgia, as long as I’m governor, we’re going to follow the law and the Constitution, regardless of who it helps or harms politically,” a clearly agitated Kemp said at a news conference in the state’s capital.
Trump fucked up, the old money that pull all the strings in Georgia are spiteful as fuck and don’t take kindly to outsiders coming in and endangering their position by casting a spotlight on the already corrupt political machinations of the state. They probably all loved his presidency but he’s now a threat to their position and they want him gone
it’d be pretty nuts if it turned out that Trump had indeed drained the swamp. even if it wasn’t exactly how he intended.
Process failed successfully
A real Anakin “bringing balance to the force” moment, but like, in the opposite direction.
