Perdue’s candidacy ‘a continuation of the coup attempt and insurrection that Trump launched’ (replacing an incumbent is now a 'coup' attempt!)

Let’s say it straight:

Every Georgia Republican who votes for former Sen. David Perdue in next year’s gubernatorial primary is voting to strangle American democracy and replace it with an arrangement in which elections can be overturned on a whim, just because somebody says so. There is no other rationale for Perdue’s candidacy, no other reason for him to have launched a campaign against an incumbent governor of his own party.

That, and to try to placate the implacable Donald Trump.

That incumbent, Brian Kemp, has served for almost 20 years as a Republican state senator, a Republican secretary of state and now as a Republican governor. From a conservative Republican perspective, the only blemish on Kemp’s record in that time, the only plausible reason for a primary challenge, is Kemp’s refusal to take part in Trump’s conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia based on false claims of fraud.

Replacing a criminal with a RINO is hardly coup territory. 🙄

Jay Bookman is just a 30 year veteran of the AJC. His opinion is worthless.

To Jay Bookman, any candidate that opposes the ruling class must be arrested and prosecuted for treason.

To Jay Bookman, any vote for the opposition is sedition.

Jay Bookman has gone Full Soviet.

Vote for Vernon!

Give the committee chairmanships back to the Conservatives that were taken away in January of this year.

Brandon Beach and others deserve to lead our state on the ‘true’ right path.
