Are the gloves starting to come off? If a recent post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, is any indication, high-profile Republicans and conservatives are starting to attack former President Donald Trump over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic while he was in office.
Advertisement Even before the primary season began in earnest, many speculated that his support of lockdown orders and vaccines could become his Achilles heel. But so far, few on the right have raised the issue as they have been hesitant to attack Trump directly. Things appear to be changing, as Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp posted a response to a video the former president made in which he decried leftists trying to bring back mask mandates.
In the video, Trump said that “left wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all of their sudden fearmongering” about the emergence of new coronavirus variants. “They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal dropboxes, more mail in ballots, and trillions of dollars in payoffs” in the leadup to the upcoming election.
In a post on Saturday, Kemp wrote:
The fact is former president Trump led the opposition to my decision to reopen Georgia - the first state in the country to do so.
While he listened to Fauci & parroted media talking points, I listened to hardworking Georgians.
He may not remember, but I sure as hell do.

Yea. And it’s time to take it to Trump and make him pay.
And we watched as not ONE but TWO elections were stolen right under Kemp’s nose!
Oh how we so quickly forget what they were constantly doing to the POTUS during the Fauci Gain of Function Planneddemic?

What a lying scumbag Kemp is, no surprise though as he is a member of the Deep State. Never Forget.
Good points. The other point people forget is the original 15 days to slow the spread was more about the hospital emergency rooms being overnight with sick Covid patients and not having enough beds versus as much about stopping the spread. Trump was one of the first people to say we needed to open back up but his voice was drowned out by the hysterical people.

Now just when did you live in China?
Trump says he told Kemp: ‘I totally disagree’ with move to reopen Georgia
Trump was wrong; Kemp was right. Brian Kemp has been probably Georgia's best governor in the 21st century, and I am glad we didn't toss him out for David Perdue like Trump wanted us to last year.
A lot of us were saying that it was basically the flu and that the elderly needed to be careful.
Someone please tell Kemp I’m voting for Trump so he doesn’t need to waste his time convincing me to.
BTW, this Kemp sure is a hater.
Kemp may not remember the GA election fraud, be we sure as Hello do.
Then where was he?
It was Fauci addressing the media every day from the presidential podium with Trump standing silently behind him.
I remember when Kemp’s daughter’s BF died in a car explosion
Yet another True Believer, reality denier. Keep kneeling at the altar of your false god.
If they haven’t attacked Biden and Fauci for what they implemented as soon as Biden took office in 2021 then they can STFU.
Trump never forced these injections on the military, teachers, students and other entire groups,
We needed champions then and where were these virtue signalers?
Come on now. Mike the Pious Pence, Debra Birx, Fauci, and the crew were front and center every day with their evolving narrative of fear and useless precautions. The media fawning over their every word made any dissension unproductive. When Trump touted hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and other remedies that we now know DID help, he was excoriated. He did push the pharms to come up with a fast tract vax which we now know, and many suspected early on, has done more harm to people’s health and does nothing to stop the spread. Lies, lies, and more lies. CDC, NHIH, media, Uniparty, the list of blame goes on but it cannot be dropped at Trump’s feet. He encouraged state’s to make their decision as I recall. Good for Kemp. Don’t go Brian the Pious now though.
And Biden is trying to bring covid lockdowns back as we speak. When this first happened in 2020, no one knew exactly what we were dealing with. All we heard was how this virus was going to kill us all. Trump didn’t know that we were lied to, he was being giving false information. But everything he did do was in the interest for public safety. Who Would Have Thought That WE ALL WERE LIED TO SO THAT THEY,the DEEPSTATE, could larp us into the power grab that was Election 2020! Hey did did you know Raffensberger is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, so I’ve heard.
