During what was called a “remarkable press conference” by local reporters, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) slapped down any suggestion of holding a special legislative session to oust District Attorney Fani Willis, as proposed by right-wing state Senator Colton Moore.
Moore appeared on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast where he claimed “civil war” was inevitable unless Willis was stopped from prosecuting former President Donald Trump on fake elector scheme charges.
“I did want to take just a few minutes to speak to some history that’s trying to repeat itself over the last few days here in Georgia,” Kemp began, before reiterating how he had repeatedly refused to call a special session to overturn the 2020 election results.
Kemp concluded, “The bottom line is that in the state of Georgia, as long as I’m governor, we’re going to follow the law in the Constitution regardless of who it helps or harms politically…and in Georgia, we will not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment.”

I think he actually urged Stacy Abrams to run so that Republicans in Georgia would be forced to vote for him last election.
I did not vote for him, nor did I vote for Rattburger. I wrote in someone else for both.
Both he and Rattburger conspired together, IMO, to allow Democrats to abuse the absentee process by NOT comparing absentee ballot signatures with registration signatures on record.
Supposedly, Rattburger did this on his own in a consent decree signed with the Democrat Party and Kemp was ‘unaware,’ but I don’t believe it. He had the bully pulpit to keep Rattburger from doing it and didn’t. As an added ‘bonus,’ their actions significantly helped Democrats take both Senate seats.
I’ll never vote for either of them for anything. They are TDS damaged goods.
Political theater?
Willis has made GA the equivalent of Haiti.
Trying to pretend there’s any reality to the charges is not just laughable but absurd.
In the end, Kemp and his “state” ends up looking like jungleland.
It appears he has the power to stop this circus... Yet he won’t.
There are higher forces at play.
It is a jungle, I can’t wait to exit. Thought we’d love GA but after being here a little more than 10 years it is a jungle and it is not a conservative state.
I believe he has aspirations for national office and he and the GOP are conspiring together to keep Trump out of action and out of the 2024 race. His inaction is the price to be paid for future national GOP support.
Makes me think the conviction is a forgone conclusion
This is nuts. Does Kemp realize this..
One of the more egregious examples of why I finally left the GOP and further evidence proving a point I have repeated: There are no more political solutions.
The entire GOP, metaphorically, needs to be savagely burned to the ground in a raging white hot all consuming fire.
....exerpt from the article continues:
.....”Governor Brian Kemp is not being honest with the people of Georgia. He is allowing his disdain for President Trump to cloud his judgement. I encourage him to take a deep breathe and read the Georgia Consitution [sic]. Specifically, Section 2, paragraph 7… which outlines his clear power to call an emergency session. As the corrupt Fulton County DA continues to target Donald Trump… I only have one question...”
Remember the video interviews the Chairperson of the Grand Jury gave on national TV? Of course they’ll convict, but they cannot be assured their indictment, trial and sentencing will stand in higher court(s).
We’re talking about Fulton County here. Georgia’s biggest hotbed of corruption, incompetence and leftism - along with several other Metro-ATL counties (e.g., Gwinnett and Dekalb) as well as those counties encompassing Georgia’s largest cities.
Why did Kemp meet with the CCP at the Chinese Consulate in Houston two weeks before purchasing Dominion voting machines for Georgia?
He’s a token Republican in a swamp filled with democRATS.
Thanks for posting that important excerpt!
He won’t stop it.
Make no mistake he’s in on the whole thing!
Does this surprise anyone?
Georgia Governor-Elect Brian Kemp Might Be Even More Corrupt Than You Thought
Days before the election, Kemp accused Democrats of attempting to hack the state’s election systems. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation found that the “evidence” for this claim is a single forwarded e-mail.
By Jay Willis
December 17, 2018
In the days leading up to Georgia’s hotly contested 2018 gubernatorial election, Brian Kemp—who, you may recall, is both the winner of that election and also the state official who was in charge of administering it—made a shocking accusation about the Democratic Party of Georgia and, by extension, his opponent, Stacey Abrams. They had, he said, attempted to hack into the state’s voter-registration database, and his office planned to launch an investigation into this serious case of misconduct.
Kemp learned that a media outlet planned to publish a story on the subject, he did what all self-respecting Republicans do when confronted with evidence of their failures: panic, and blame someone else. Minutes before it posted, the secretary of state’s website posted an all-caps headline announcing a forthcoming investigation into a “FAILED HACKING ATTEMPT” by Democrats. Kemp’s spokesperson began talking about Rachel Small, who is part of this narrative because she forwarded an e-mail, as if she should be considered armed and extremely dangerous by anyone who approaches her.
A few days later, Kemp won the election with 50.2 percent of the vote, narrowly avoiding the prospect of a runoff with Abrams. Strangely, since the result became official, Kemp’s office seems to have forgotten all about the investigation it had vowed to conduct, back when breaking the news of said investigation was politically expedient.

> The governor is becoming an embarrassment to the State surely?
Becoming? More like continuing to be. He was dead set against investigating voting fraud in 2020, because he’s in bed with the Uniparty.
He’s behaving exactly the way the Deep State wants him to.
The entire cabal has knives out for Trump.
Kemp slapped down holding a special legislative session to oust District Attorney Fani Willis........
as proposed by the wise, heroic, right-thinking state Senator Colton Moore.
Appearing on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast.....the insighrful
Sen Moore noted “civil war” was inevitable unless Fani Willis was stopped.
Willis is persecuting President Trump on fake elector scheme charges.........her heinous
unstated goal being to hand Democrats a monopoly on conversations about campaign results.
DemonRatz don't represent the working-man any more than the Repugnicans represent small-businesses.
The 'Ratz represent global corporate interests and the system itself (state-paid apparatchiks) while they 'Pugs don't really represent anyone except for the anti-Ratz.
Trump represents the last few Freedom Fighters left in America.
The Biggest Story Nobody’s Talking About: The Recall Of Brian Kemp
Nov 9, 2017
The great state of Georgia has been contending with its own corruption, incompetence and negligence from Secretary of State Brian Kemp, whose actions have undermined voting systems, election security and democracy in general. The difference at the state level, however, is that there is a mechanism by which the people can expel an elected official. And in Georgia there is a robust effort underway. A non-partisan group called A Voice For All Georgia has started a recall petition. And the success or failure of this effort has implications for all Americans.
According to John Ziegler, leader of A Voice For All Georgia’s recall effort: “In Georgia, the Secretary of State is responsible for the administration of secure, accessible, and fair elections. This responsibility isn’t a suggestion – it’s the fundamental job description. As voters, we should expect our votes to count and our information to be handled with integrity.”
But Ziegler says that Kemp has done the opposite. Here is a list of his alleged infractions and examples of gross negligence (links embedded). Under Kemp’s tenure:
Georgia’s elections data has been breached. Twice. Once in August 2016, and again in March 2017. Following the breaches, Kemp refused assistance from the Department of Homeland Security and 20 computer scientists, while ignoring concerns of election integrity advocates and local citizens.
The state’s electronic voting machines received an ‘F-’ rating by The Free Congress Foundation and Verified Voting. Nevertheless, Kemp has continuously refused to ask the State Legislature for funds to update the voting system. Current machines can be hacked within minutes, haven’t been updated since 2005 and run on Windows 2000.
Kemp insisted on using this outdated, hackable infrastructure in the June runoff between Jon Ossoff and Karen Handel for Tom Price’s vacated House seat, despite the known breaches, faulty equipment, and theft of electronic polling books that contained voter data.
On July 3, 2017, a group of electoral reform advocates filed a lawsuit to force the state to retire its antiquated touch-screen voting machines. On July 7 (four days later), the election servers which would have provided critical information for the lawsuit were wiped clean. The people who wiped the servers ultimately answer to Secretary of State Kemp.
Kemp’s office twice leaked voter information, including Social Security numbers and driver’s license data. Kemp admitted, as part of the settlement of a lawsuit, that his office leaked the voter information. The state agreed to pay $1.2 million for a year’s worth of credit monitoring for millions of Georgians.
Kemp failed to properly handle and process voter registrations in 2014, when his office lost voter registrations for 40,000 Georgians - the vast majority of whom happened to be people of color.
In a shocking and telling move last week, the Assistant Attorney General of the State of Georgia announced that the AG’s office would not defend Kemp or the State in the “wiped server” lawsuit filed on July 3.
“He won’t stop it. Make no mistake he’s in on the whole thing!”
In mid-2021, IIRC there was strong evidence shown that he is taking filthy lucre from Dominion and/or China. Nobody cares.
