Trump Again Targets Kemp As Georgia Guv Reveals Death Threats Aimed At His Family | Talking Points Memo

discobot · December 18, 2020, 3:56pm

President Donald Trump has continued a pressure campaign directed at Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) to illegally overturn election results in the Peach State, even as the Republican governor has said those false claims have incited threats on his life and have turned his wife and three daughters into targets for angry conspiracy theorists.

Bat. Shit. Crazy. Repeat as many times as necessary.

It appears that Mr. Kemp has woken with fleas.

But say “Fuckers” and the heart palpitations begin.

I feel bad for Kemp’s family. For Republican Toady Kemp, not so much. He should have known about the criminal racist voter-suppressing vipers he associates with.

Brian Kemp killed his constituents by opening the state too early in order to please Donnie. This is what he gets. I’m supposed to feel bad for his family, but I didn’t see his wife speak out against her husband for killing elderly citizens of Georgia. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all complicit and this is their reward.

“Bat. Shit. Crazy.”

I really don’t care, do you?

In other news, Gov of Georgia lays on bed of broken glass, complains that he’s sleep deprived.

christianhankel · December 18, 2020, 4:08pm

Kemp told reporters that he somehow did not blame Trump for the threats against his life, adding, “as far as I know, my relationship with the president is fine.”

Trump and his voters are more important than his wife and children. I wonder how they feel about that?

So what does GIVING HIM THE STATE do, again? Biden wins by slightly less…and this matters…because?

cervantes · December 18, 2020, 4:09pm

Lie down with psychopaths, wake up with death threats?

“But, but, but, it’s me! This isn’t fair! We only do this to the bad guys!”

dougsanders · December 18, 2020, 4:10pm

That’ll be one helluva boycott of any advertisers stupid enough to buy in …

castor_troy · December 18, 2020, 4:11pm

He figures it’s like dominoes, if he can get one State to overturn its results, the Supremes will give him the others.

cervantes · December 18, 2020, 4:11pm

Salve, not salvation.
In what passes for his mind, Georgia is just a first step in his new plan.

jackster · December 18, 2020, 4:11pm

Totally normal behavior for a person with his stability.

Punchy · December 18, 2020, 4:12pm

“as far as I know, my relationship with the president is fine.”

OMFG is this guy delusional. If these tweets are symbolic of a “fine” relationship, I’d hate to see the ones that describe a poor one.

As I recall Kemp was waving a shotgun around in some of his campaign ads. So he ought to be able to defend his family. Amirite?
