President Trump on Sunday said he regretted endorsing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), taking a swipe at the top Republicans in the state ahead of two critical Senate runoff elections.
The president decried the use of Dominion Voting Systems machines in Georgia, which are the subject of unproven conspiracies among some conservatives. He placed blame at the feet of Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for approving the rules of the election.
"Everything has to be approved by the legislature, and they had judges making deals, and they had electoral officials making deals like this character in Georgia who's a disaster," Trump said of Raffensperger, who has defended the integrity of the presidential election in Georgia, where President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump by just more than 12,000 votes.
"And the governor's done nothing. He's done absolutely nothing," Trump added of Kemp. "I'm ashamed that I endorsed him. But I look what's going on. It's so terrible.“
The president, in his first television interview since Election Day, revived numerous baseless claims of voter fraud that he alleged cost him the election to Biden.

I’m ashamed of the entire gop. It’s all one big corrupt mess. Add in the bureaucracy and the judicial branch, and we have the most corrupt government in modern history.
The a-holes need to just SHUT THE HELL UP with their “baseless claims” bullshit. Big, green, steaming, soggy piles of it.
Kemp is weak unlike DeSantis who is strong.
Kemp and Raffensperger are dirty corrupt POS’s
When Trump was accused of removing the bust of MLK from the Oval Office on his first day in office was it labeled a “baseless” claim by the other presstitutes?
“numerous baseless claims of voter fraud “
what a bunch of fake news reporting... actually just the opinion of a person or publisher... more propaganda ie lies.
It hard to believe the corruption of so many against honesty in elections and America.
No GA conservative is going to vote for him after this. He's already a lame-duck.
Just hold a press conference detailing the corruption, apologize to the state, country, and Trump campaign, and resign.
“Unproven...”
Nice work, Samuels. /spit
I agree with him but this isn’t unique to Georgia. We have these supplicant Republicans in Virginia and it leads one place and that is to Blue State status. The idea that Republican legislatures and Governors actually helped to create this mess enabling these Democrats to change the rules before elections is outrageous. Kemp virtually gave Abrams a blank vote check and she had her minions ala Zuckerberg filling out those checks in the wee hours of the morning. I don’t hate Kemp but these soft GOP who are not doing everything they can to stop this steal are going to be the ruin of us all. There is no way Biden won this. The statistical anomalies are unbelievable. The votes that materialized post count stoppage are ridiculous. That said team Trump needs to stop this “we aren’t alleging fraud doublespeak”. There was fraud, dead people voted, out of state people voted and GOP ballots went missing while Democrat votes look like they came printed right out of the registration logs in these Democrat areas that gave Biden his margin. It doesn’t matter how many times you count fraudulent votes if you aren’t truly auditing the votes for legitimacy. I love the President but his admin dropped the ball on voting integrity. They basically retreated when the Democrats went boo and now we have this warped situation where the fraud is writ large but we are faced with barriers to making it even matter.
Never mind the media. Why are Kemp and the Georgia GOP treating the charges as baseless?
Even if Trump succeeds in throwing the election into the Congress, my bet is that the “republicans” would hand the election to Biden anyway.
“ “Unproven...”
Nice work, Samuels. /spit”
The Georgia GOP leaders, led by Kemp, are also treating the charges as unproven. Shouldn’t we be aiming our frustration at them? Who cares about some reporter. The friggin GOP governor is ignoring the charges.
Kemp got in over his head in big time politics and was used to more local good ole boy politics and he could not refuse the benefits of his powerful position... he got used and made a little money and is done in GA but not in national politics or lobbying. He has prove to have what it takes to be corrupt.
Why is Kemp treating the charges as baseless?
Kemp is trying to cover his azz.
Lin Wood, who knows a few things about Georgia politics, came right out and said Kemp was dirty in public. And he added that he will not be sued by Kemp for it because he knows it’s true, and it’s not libel if it’s true.
Lin Wood is an expert on libel/defamation. It’s like a 6th degree black belt saying “come at me, bro.”
Trumps kryptonite, hiring and endorcing traitors? For a guy that made a living out of saying “you’re fired!”, he sucks at vetting and trusts too much. Hopefully in his 2nd term, he will wake up and purge all these worthless @ssholes like Barr and Wray
