President Donald Trump continued his relentless assault against Georgia Republicans over the weekend, calling Gov. Brian Kemp a “fool” for not reversing the election results in the state.
Trump, who fell into a trap by expecting Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to cheat for him, has griped that Kemp was not pushing Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to do more to reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
He’s also furious that Kemp was not defending the president on television and that Kemp moved forward with certifying the results of the election, brushing aside Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud.
“Democrats weakened the Signature Verification (and other) safeguards in Georgia. @staceyabrams played @BrianKempGA & Secretary of State, for fools. Consent Decree, which is terrible for Republicans (and honest people!), must be opened up NOW – David, Kelly, and I will then win!” Trump wrote on Twitter just after midnight.
The second message appeared to threaten U.S. Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, both locked in runoffs that will be settled early next year:
“What a fool Governor @BrianKempGA of Georgia is. Could have been so easy, but now we have to do it the hard way. Demand this clown call a Special Session and open up signature verification, NOW. Otherwise, could be a bad day for two GREAT Senators on January 5th.”
