Trump Demands Georgia Gov. Kemp to Resign
Yesterday President Donald Trump demanded on Twitter that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp resign. Kemp earned the President’s ire because of his continual refusal to overturn election results in the state. The tweet is Trump’s harshest rebuke yet of a fellow GOP member.
RELATED: Georgia Will Recount All Presidential Votes by Hand
Trump’s missive stemmed from a Georgia election report that didn’t find any irregularities in more than 15,000 audited voter signatures in Cobb County. The findings contradict Trump’s allegations that massive voter fraud and widespread cheating happened in states, including Georgia. Previous tallies confirmed that Biden won the state by a slim margin of 12,000 votes.
Kemp is an Obstructionist
Trump’s tweet last December 30 read: “Hearings from Atlanta on the Georgia Election overturn now being broadcast. Check it out. @OANN @newsmax and many more. @BrianKempGA should resign from office. He is an obstructionist who refuses to admit that we won Georgia, BIG! Also won the other Swing States.”
Asked to comment on Trump’s tweet, Kemp referred to his efforts containing the coronavirus outbreak in Georgia. He told reported he needs to “stay focused on the issues of the day in Georgia, not what someone’s tweeting.” Kemp added that he “did not forget what I told Georgians back on January 14, almost two years ago, that whether they voted for me or not, I would be their governor and I would be working hard for them every single day. I believe right now they would rather me be focused on making sure we have enough hospital beds in the state and we’re getting the vaccine distributed.”
Trump’s Backers Should Give Up
Also, Kemp said that Trump’s backers should give up trying to overturn the Georgia elections’ outcome. Rather, they should focus on the crucial Senate runoffs. The governor noted that “There’s a constitutional and legal process that’s playing out. And I’m very comfortable with that process playing out. But that horse has left the barn in Georgia and it’s headed to D.C. right now.”
D.C. refers to the GOP’s planned challenge to Biden’s Electoral College confirmation. Instead of pushing for Kemp to resign, he advised Republicans to focus on the senate runoff. “The next vote is going to be there, not here. So people need to focus on the vote that is happening here,” he added.
Georgia Runoff
The timing couldn't come at a worse time for the GOP, as the Senate runoff in Georgia happens in a few days. Control of the Senate rests on which party wins the January 5 elections. Also, it shows the widening rift within the Republican party. On one side are those who support Trump’s refusal to concede amid allegations of voter fraud. On the other side are senior Republicans who saw the writing on the wall and are anxious to move on to the incoming Democratic administration.
Meanwhile, Republican Senate candidates Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are gearing for the fight of their lives to retain their seats. At the same time, they are trying very hard to portray the Republican party as a united front. Trump is set to visit Dalton on Monday, the day before the elections. During the same day, President-elect Joe Biden will campaign for the Democrat candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossof in Atlanta.
Internal Conflict
With the tweet, Trump sends another signal that Kemp’s 2022 reelection won’t be uneventful. Even with his exit from the White House, the President remains a party stalwart that wields considerable clout. As such, he might endorse somebody who would like to take on the Governor in the primaries. This somebody might just be representative Doug Collins, who Trump endorsed during a Valdosta rally. In previous fits, Trump called Kemp a clown and predicted his loss in the next primary.
Also, he admitted he now feels ashamed endorsing Kemp in 2016. Meanwhile, Kemp refuses to back down. He assured Georgia residents that he “can handle me.”. He called on his detractors to come out from their keyboards and “we can have a little conversation if they would like to.” Kemp remains on guard on what he says, though. “All of these things are a distraction. I’ve supported the president. I’ve said that many times,” he said. “I worked as hard as anybody in the state on his re-election up through November 3, I’ve supported the legal process that he and any other campaign can go through in this state, but at the end of the day I also have to follow the laws and the Constitution.”

I do agree with President Trump governor Kemp should resign he’s going out of his way to obstruct a free and fair election no matter what your party affiliation is this is bigger than all of that we have to know for sure what happened in this election . governor camp is obstructing the American people from getting the truth
Trump lost. Dump Trump!!
Kemp is in bed with the Chicoms. Kickback of $millions from CCP for purchase and use of Dominion Voting machines and software. He was ready to turn on them until they blew up his daughter’s boyfriend as a warning. He should have heeded the warning: “if you mess with fire, you are going to get burnt”
That’s just Hans Gray, we don’t know if he lost or not. There’s too many questionable things in GA and other states. The simple fact that the left is in such a hurry for him to concede most likely means they have something to hide, actually a lot to hide.
Trump lost and it has been certified by a Republican leadership. Trump is just being a bully as usual and is unfit for office. The vote on this site didn’t accept my vote so it’s a farce.
trump is a TRAITR! That is a fact, He also is a liar and cheater! That’s a fact! He down played a virus! That’s also a fact. Please take your ass and stop drinking the kool aid!
Fucking libtarded idots
I agree with Trump 100%.
Evil
Governor Kemp is a treasonous traitor and is in cahoots with the anti-Trump cabal on both sides of the isle,who are in bed with the Chinese Communist Party,who wants to get rid of Trump by any means and force communism on the United States of American.If China Joe Biden DOES get into office,the United States of America as we know it will cease to exist in a few short years.If any of you ‘SHEOPLE’ think this couldn’t happen,you have been living under a phuquing rock,for this has been the plan for several decades.This would have already happened if Hillary Clinton had gotten into the White House instead of Donald John Trump.#trump2020
I am ashamed to say that I live in Georgia and this state voted for Trump! I did not see one Biden sign in any yard but thousands of Trump signs, Trump Train vehicle rallies, tens of thousands at Trump rallies across the state, etc. This election was stolen by changing the rules at the last minute without the State Legislature being involved which is against the law! We currently have recall petitions for the traitor Kemp and his little buddy Raffensperger (whose brother works for the Chineses). Then you have Abrams causing chaos with her Obammie appointed Federal Judge ruling on voting cases instead of recusing! These are treasonous acts and should be dealt with according to the law!!!! Kemp must go!
Well needless to say Kemp will not be running for President or any other office. His career is over.
I see president Trump invoking the ‘Insurrection Act’ before Jan.20,2021 and have the treasonous traitors in local,state and federal offices arrested,charged,tried and convicted by military tribunal.You know voter/election fraud occurred when more people in the country voted than there are registered voters.
Raffensberger does not have a brother.
Kemp has given in to pressure from Stacy Abrams and her cronies and has allowed cheating as seen on the video. These people are STUPID and do not understand that they are truly opposing GOD and POTUS is GOD’S ANNOINTED AND APPOINTED MAN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. GOD SET A TRAP FOR THESE OFFICIALS TO EXPOSE THE REST OF THE SWAMP CREATURES. THE FATHER IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT HE DID WITH ISRAEL IN THE WILDERNESS AS HE SEPARATES THE WHEAT FROM THE CHAFF. SEE ECC. 1:9 AND KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS. THERE IS A PLAN AND THE ENEMIES OF GOD HAVE AND ARE FALLING INTO THE TRAP. THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET…THOSE WHO KNOW JESUS AND THOSE WHO DON’T. WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE CONTINUED AWAKING OF THOSE IN THE DARK TO WAKE UP AND COME RUNNING BACK TO THEIR CREATOR. VICTORY IS HERE AND POTUS WILL SERVE 4 MORE YEARS AS GOD SAID!!!
All evidence points to Kemp and Raffensperger being Traitors to their state constitutions, they should be removed from office. All the Dem trolls on these posts should be ashamed of their party, but no, they are complicit in the lies and fraud going on, very disappointing time in America. So many enemies of the people. Time for Patriots to stand together and defend the Constitution and the USA to the death! People are at the breaking point and these so called Repub leaders are pushing them over the edge!
And to you POS liberal lefties, please name specific truthful allegations against Trump, not Dem talking points and made up lies! But you can’t, please crawl back in your holes!
Any reasonable person who has studied the evidence knows that Donald Trump won the presidential election legitimately. So much fraud and organized corruption in five or six key cities stole the election. Georgia is just part of the problem. Governor Kemp is a good man that has probably done all he can do. The Secretary of State in Georgia is a slimeball and he should resign. They better focus on the Senate runoffs Jan 5 and get their election credibility straightened out fast. Beware Stacey Abrams and more election fraud.
The Trump presidency may be a lost cause, but he has tremendous support and may be elected in 2024 to save our country. Socialism sucks.
I like how the lady reporting this story say “More false claims of voter integrity”, she must be a Democrat
I believe all Governor’s need to take a good look at the election results to confirm cheating or not. It will show that they did their due diligence. Don’t be mad at the president??
Do you job!!
I get a kick out of how people say that the evidence shows fraudulent behaviour in the 2020 election, but produce zero evidence. The current administration has a habit of saying things like, “Everybody knows that… The whole world knows that… It’s clear that… etc.”, and relies on that as evidence. That’s not evidence. President Elect Joseph Robinette Biden won the election because the country is tired of the nonsense spewing out of the Whitehouse for the past four years. Furthermore, Biden is not a socialist, or a maniac. He is simply evolving with the times, like most of us do, whether we know it or not. Trump, on the other hand, is Mar-a-Lagone, and commands a following of misguided wishful thinkers who want to return to a fantasy time that does not exist. Dominion Voting machines? Venezuela/Chavez? German interference? Are you Trumpers nuts? What a s…show. Wake up, grow up, and accept reality.
Kemp is a sellout ! And is part of why we are in the situation we are in !
Russian collusion,really??

To JERRAL LANARD JACKSON, AMEN,AMEN, AMEN 🙏 🙏🙏 My sentiments EXACTLY!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 and all the followers of the LORD !!! ! I also pray for the misguided people in this nation and I believe if it’s GODS Will, many more eyes will be opened !!!!!!! 🎚
Happy New Year! Let’s hope in the next 4 years we can all work together to create a bipartisanship that can bring the 🇺🇸 America people together again on both sides.
Morality and ethics don’t “change with the times”. They are constants. People that support changing their ethics with the times are creating their own moralities. No good. Since when are fraud, lieing, murder (abortion) and the suggestion that the end justifies the means acceptable “changes to the times”. When a boat (our country) loses its rudder, it wanders aimlessly in the water whose trip can become quite dangerous!
This was such obvious fraud!! There is just no way Joe Biden , who we know, and hate would grt that many votes….Trump worked for the people Joe has his own ajenda which is not the American people’s best interest always!!
Im with you Don🙏
Trump is DEAD RIGHT!!! Marxists have been and ARE subverting our country, and our MOST PATRIOTIC PRESIDENT EVER, since 2016. We the PEOPLE should be thanking him and not let the COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY take over our lives, our families, and our property!

jemp is as much an obstruction to a legitimate vote count as his sec state and the criminals who have been running the vote fraud scheme.
Trump is the worst President in USA history and his term isn’t over yet. He is nothing but and egoatistical narcissist. He proves this on a daily basis, but you Trumpies that drink his Koolaide and send him money for his Slush fund are idiots. You are all no different than the misinformed morons that followed Hitler and Jim Jones to their demise. Good luck because you’ll need it.
How can you say that Kemp needs to resign because he’s not willing to sell his soul, when you’re the same people who voted him into office? Maybe you should’ve voted for Stacy Abrams and we wouldn’t be having to vote on this issue. Kemp screwed her out of the election, so why is it a surprise that he’s not supporting Trump’s BS. Kemp got what wanted when Trump endorsed him to aid in his win, and as pissed as y’all are with him right now, you will still hipocritically vote to re-elect him in 3 years. That being said, stop complaining and accept the faith that YOU chose for yourselves.
Kemp should go to jail for being a moron. Who does he think he is fooling? He is a deep state politician
