“When Brian Kemp’s top donors huddled with the Georgia governor and his lieutenants at Atlanta’s Capital City Club earlier this year, they had reason to worry that his political career was about to come to an end,” Politico reports.
“Former President Donald Trump had spent the previous year savaging the Republican governor for refusing to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results, and he was bent on ousting the governor from office, recruiting and endorsing Kemp’s primary opponent. Few Republicans in recent years had survived Trump’s wrath. But the Kemp team reassured the nearly 200 well-heeled contributors in attendance they had a plan.”
Said Kemp adviser Jay Walker: “We’re going to go fucking scorched-earth. When you got your foot on someone’s neck, you don’t take it off until the race is over, or they’ve run out of oxygen.”
Rolling Stone: David Perdue’s pathetic, racist, conspiracy-ridden Georgia Governor campaign is officially over.
