GOP Gov. Brian Kemp is banning Georgia's cities and counties from ordering people to wear masks in public places, even as a growing number of other states are mandating masks. Kemp has instead been trying to encourage voluntary mask-wearing,

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp speaks at the Georgia Cancer Center in Augusta, Ga., Thursday, July 2, 2020, as part of his "Wear a Mask" Fly-Around Tour to promote the wearing of masks as COVID numbers rise in Georgia.

The Republican governor has instead been trying to encourage voluntary mask wearing, including telling fans that reduced infections from mask-wearing would make college football season possible. Wednesday’s numbers showed nearly 2,800 people hospitalized statewide with the COVID-19 respiratory illness, the highest on record and a number that’s nearly doubled since the beginning of the month. The state reports 84% of hospitals’ available critical beds are in use, although some hospitals say they have opened up more space and have more room.

Savannah opened the floodgates when its mayor announced in late June that residents and visitors would be required to wear face coverings inside stores and other public spaces or face a $500 fine. The trend of deaths had hit a low in Georgia on July 9, when the state averaged only 12 newly reported deaths a day over the previous week. Newly reported deaths sometimes happen weeks earlier. But the trend of deaths has since been rising, following upward trends in cases and hospitalizations that began in early June. Georgia is now averaging 24 deaths over the past week, the highest level in nearly four weeks.

subatomicdoc Funny how the military guy behind him is wearing a mask. Maybe he’s smarter than you! Just saying.

RudyHarperWXYZ NAZI LEADER OF DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA... like dtrump

ElizLanders At this point, it's up to businesses to require them.

Killing people to own the libs.

Physicians all over say to wear them

Suing cities trying to protect Georgia citizens is NOT encouraging mask wearing and public safety for Georgians.

So much for small government right?

Another jerk like 45

At least someone has some common sense and is not trying to be a Dictator !!! Fear is a nasty thing and the more you are afraid the more you suffer !!! Don’t give your freedom away folks !!! They would gladly take it !!

😎😎😎🇺🇸

He also said shirts pants and shoes are no longer required in public.

Btw, you don’t need the government to tell you to wear a mask. Wear one if you like.

That is like voluntary clean your house or voluntary savings accounts. How about i volunteer myself for a speeding ticket. Kemp is an idiot.

He certainly doesn't need one, as he is so well-protected by Trump's butt!

He is in need of a trip out behind the woodshed! VoteOutCorruptGOP RecallBrianKemp

Gov Kemp should stop wasting time criticizing Mayor Keisha Bottoms for doing the right thing. The Gov knows mask are one of the answers to stop virus from spreading. Keep your politics and your fear of Trump out of the equation.

The dumbest GOP Governor competition continues with GovKemp now in the lead. Only in American would a governor sue over mandating masks during a pandemic. Ignoring science must be scoring him points with the big boss.

impeachkemp

If masks help then what is the problem unless you are afraid that Trump is going to mess with your political position a la Jeff Sessions? Retaliation and suing is the Trump’s gangster style. You need to serve as a leader for the health of your people. YOU opened GA 2 soon.

With our decimated Police Force, do We really think it's Wise to add Mandatory Mask Enforcement to their Plates as well? Releasing Felons because of Covid concern in Prisons, but We want to arrest Maskless Citizens & do what? Jail them? WeThePeoples 🙈🙉🙊

unseen1_unseen I wish my governor would do the same.

People if Georgia should recall the governor. You only need 897,000 votes. If you set the petition. at 1 Million that should be more than enough. He’s killing people.

Governor Kemp is evil. Don't listen to him. StayHome WearAMask WaahYourHands And definitely do NOT send your children back to school. CoronavirusUSA COVID19 WakeUpAmerica

Fortunately, local leaders are pushing back. Kemp is now suing the Atlanta mayor because she refuses to back down. It will be interesting to see what the court decides regarding state and local powers when it comes to public safety. It might set a president.

He needs to be in jail, this is criminal

Crazy! Why not do what is required to keep your family, friends and community safe? We should all use science as our guide to eliminate the spread of this pandemic. Healthcare organizations need us to follow the guidelines to minimize the surge of patients. minamizethesurge

This speaks louder than words. Georgia’s numbers are going up - so are the deaths. He cares NOTHING about the people of this state and should be locked up !

Voluntary is the way to go

Associated Press...owned by Globalist so their view is skewed

Gov Kemp is one of the smart men with the courage to know bullshit when he sees it...

That's a good thing. Your body, your choice. Is it what liberal women have been screaming about? 😾😾😾

WHERE DID THIS SHIT GOV COME FROM ? ONE SICK GOV 😷

Keep thinning your republican herd, please.

Yep, our 'Governor' Texas doesn't have one either😡😡😡

And he is a medical doctor? At the hospital or in private practice I would do anything to help my patient getting better. Here USA is the patient that is suffering. If you neglect it does that mean you’re ready to see him dying?

Why doesn’t someone ask him why?

Kemp left the welfare of cities to the mayors POTUS did same to governors Kemp is back in realDonaldTrump favor mayors initiate own plan to slow spread Kemp’s attempt to block mayors mandated mask orders hurts the two most densely populated African American cities in the state

Nice

Trumps found a place for his rally.

🤮👹💩🤬😡

tntranchtx

Stacey Abrams could have been Georgia’s Governor, just like Hillary Clinton could have been our President but misogyny & racism gave us 2 dumb fucks

Oh the horror of giving people free will!

RecallKemp

Tiny penis.

I wonder if these morons ever think how they will be remembered in history. Their children and children’s children will bare the embarrassing responsibility of their poor decisions.

Agreed. Let private citizens and businesses mandate them on their own property. Government can mandate them in public buildings where it conducts its business. But let people make their own decisions, no matter how stupid. Isolate them if they’re demonstrably endangering others.

GovKemp you're an embarrassment to this state. We all should have known you didn't care about the citizens of GA when you stole the election and disenfranchised thousands. disgrace

These state by state regulations seem to be working out well. Why stop now?

Kemp is deplorable

Lmao fool is destroying his political future

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

He needs to resign immediately. Why ATL isn't protesting him is beyond me.

Another Trump puppet.

Good for him.

CoateDan The Sheriff in Blount County, AL has also said he will not enforce a statewide mask order with hefty fine going into effect there

Why would any leader not mandate the wearing of masks even for a few weeks to protect Americans unless it is for political reasons? Sometimes as a leader you have to do what is right and hard to protect those who don’t wish to be protected because that is the job of a leader

What about individual stores ?

OSHA PPE Certified expert agrees ! THIS is the advice DOCTORS are supposed to be listening to !!!!!

Think of the mask as The Wall.

Awesome! More governors should act like this instead of bowing to bullies!! DemocratsDividingAndDestroyingAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

I think it's time to move to Georgia

Awesome Governor right there! We need more that have read the constitution!

I remember when the AP was a giant in the news industry. Just kidding, the AP has always been a yellow rag assembler of BS.

This guy thinks that by doing this he gone be part of trump new 2020 administration. MORON COME NOVEMBER THERE IS NOT GONE BE A TRUMP PRESIDENCY. ALSO GEORGIA RESIDENTS IF YOU AGREE THAT THIS GUY IS ENDANGERING YOU SHOULD IMPEACH HIM IF SUCH A MOVE IS POSSIBLE

Group that is the largest in infections in Victoria, Australia at the moment is health care workers. Masks dont seem to be going to well.

Genocide

This governor is not a dictator but a patriot leaving people their freedom to make choices.

This chart should help

yes .. a voice of sanity

martingeddes These people are so asleep. That mask will not stop covid

Hopefully he and his family remain unharmed but he’s not thinking clearly.

Reverse psychology perhaps

That’s wonderful and how it should be.

He's trying to out desantis, DeSantis.

He is an ignorant fool.

Hero! Suck it, Libs!

This is what leader's do.

Really making a name for himself nationally. 🙄

Stupid is as stupid does

He may now have passed DeSantis and Abbott as Worst Governor in America

Then it’s time to charge him with COVID deaths.

Thank God normal sane person

This is like saying laws prohibiting drunk driving are unconstitutional

I live in GA. Tested 7 days ago. Still no result. GovKemp reminding us all how much better Stacey Abrams would be as a leader.

No masks

Awesome! Finally a Constitutionalist!

This is strange. It’s one level is stupid to refuse to wear a mask because of freedom or to not put out a mask order because of a goofy understanding of martial law. But banning the ability to put a mask order in place is a new level of absurd. So...congratulations?

VegasZay_420

And yall coulda had Stacy Abrams as your governor but nooooo .....🤦🏾‍♀️

The right for people to do what the hell they like is worth of few hundred or even thousand Georgian deaths. It's the principle that counts.

It’s apparent this guy isn’t paying attention or just doesn’t care

NilesGApol Is he paying attention to what’s going on

Great job GovKemp !!!!

Governor BrianKempGA stole the election through voter suppression.

Yep...my fkn govnah

Good man Brian. Liberty and free will!

Evil turd.

Nice job voting people of Georgia.

malicious orders and decress is quite a thing with trumpists, isn't it?

News Flash BrianKempGA is behaving moronically.

Weird that the AP's Twitter feed is a lefty echo chamber.

He's using the tyranny to fight the tyranny

Rona-Brian Kemp will have blood on his hands

Wish Arizona’s Governor dougducey were as quick to uphold Americans Constitutional rights as Gov Kemp seems to be.

Good.

If Trump doesn’t follow the law, why should local officials. Go work in a hospital Gov!

Kemp is a murderer, congratulations

So when everyone else is doing the wrong thing, he's one of the few doing the right thing. Naturally, the AP is incensed.

It seems GovKemp is out to kill as many Georgians as possible to keep them from voting, maybe he realized he can't steal this election as well and went for the direct route. My immediate family lives in Marietta, GA and I'd like them to not get sick please.

Love our Governor!

Idiot

Massive propaganda pro mask tweet storm trending after this good news ....celebs, bots, guilt trippers, low I q wannabe heros and conformist ken z n KAre nz..... going all out 🤣.

I guess states’ rights is not anti-authoritarian then.

That’s LEADERSHIP and honoring the OATH he took!!! He will not trample on the ConstitutionalRights of his Citizens!

To me it's not a mask issue. It's stopping power crazed mayor's like token Bottoms from passing personal agenda iteams while saying it's for safety. The mask thing would be their first move. Just look at sanctuary city crap they push in places.

BroSteveWinter Exactly correct.

The chances of electing TWO Democratic Senators from Georgia just went up substantially. KempKills VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Put him in prison.

Hatred of the human race. What an immoral monster.

I agree the masks should be voluntary but I don't think a governor can actually keep cities from requiring them on their own can he?

This man should be removed from his position Immediately

Love it!!! Your fear doesn’t trump my freedom. If you are afraid of catching corona then you need to stay home!

westtexaslivin If CNN and MSNBC jumped off a cliff, which we do hope they do, would AP follow?

This is homicidal.

You're nuts. Another person that listens to the wrong facts.

CorruptAndComplicitGOP

WTH

Damn he wants y’all to DIE!

This is outrageous! Kemp is condemning thousands of his constituents to illness and death. Very sad.

HERO... let the dumb sheep wear the mask.

Not smart.

He is hell bent on killing more people 😟

All of Georgia Mayors right about now

One might refer to him as “Death Kemp”

Hey Georgia - this is the guy who cheated his way to be an illegitimate governor. Stacey Abrams staceyabrams was the legitimate winner in Georgia. Keep an eye on your voter’s rights.

Stupid. But expected.

Insane.

All of the cloth masks and materials had near zero efficiency at 0.3 µm, a particle size that easily penetrates into the lungs

Filter efficiency was measured across a wide range of small particle sizes. N95 respirators had efficiencies greater than 95% (as expected). T-shirts had 10% efficiency, Scarves 10% to 20%, Cloth masks 10% to 30%, Sweatshirts 20% to 40% Towels 40%.

Will this guy PUH-LEASE run for governor of WA State. The occupant is currently vacant.

If I were a business owner, and I cared about my employees I’d tell the Gov to GFH

GovAbbott SenTedCruz y'all could learn something from this guy!!

Freedom of choice does not work for stupid people prone to making poor choices. This is why rules have to be put in place to protect everybody. We cannot beat this thing until the covidiots / maskholes are forced to comply, stay home, or die off.

No mandatory CO2 poisoning for me

This goes against the whole entire concept of federalism the real GOP used to claim to care about years ago, a cause well worth defending.

You will, instead put, be wearing these. Much more comfortable.

joncoopertweets Asshole!🤬

Welcome to the next hot spot...

Because science is bad?

Just 🦇💩 crazy.

see? GOP deliberately spreading a deadly virus that has already killed more than 130,000 souls

He’s doomed to get covid and frankly Brian Kemp ; I dont give a dam if you do ! I care about the citizens of Georgia who’s doing the right thing protecting each other and wearing a mask !

No tf he hasn’t! Everything he’s done since this started has been about politics and all of it plays to the anti-masker contrarian assholes’ delusional notions about their rights! The only thing Kemp has encouraged is people risking their lives for his bullshit

WTF

Abbott call kemp see if he can show you how to grow a set.

Stupidity, ignorance, brainwashing, and a huge lack of common sense! Outrageous and disgusting!! 🤯🤯🤬🤬😬😬😤😤

Hard to believe a cerebral guy like this could make such a misstep.

I. hope the other idiot governors will follow his lead. get a hint, Bill Lee

This is what the rest of the world thinks :

Crimes against humanity. Hope The Hague gets ahold of these rotten murdering officials.

It's time for the mayors to say screw you and the horse you rode in on.

Yeah, GovMikeDeWine is doing the same thing.

Walmart and Starbucks .makes it mandatory for all to wear masks. Now what?

CNN donlemon ChrisCuomo andersoncooper msnbc foxnews I want people to start walking into public places with no pants on. Demand they can go into any public space they want. Cite their civil rights in doing so. Ref their medical exemption from pants.

If the left wants people to protect others, they should demand the terrorists leave our streets and go home. Maybe more people would be willing to wear masks if leftists weren’t such hypocrites.

MY BODY, MY CHOICE!!!

It’s called leadership AP

Kemp understands and supports the constitution. Good Governor. GovKemp

Time for the good people of Georgia to ban Kemp.

America is in a state of reckoning. The Trump era is the harvest of America's 401 years of wicked seeds sown against non-white people. America needs to repent and reconcile. White churches are the barometer for America's racism. 2 Chronicles 7:14; Luke 10:33 davidjeremiah

So where’s all the loudmouth “big gumbent” windbags preaching about overreach?

Great! ThanQ GovKemp Kemp!!

THANK YOU, GovKemp !!!🍑

Bravo! WAKE UP AMERICA MASKS DO NOTHING TO PREVENT COVID19! This is about control and closing us down to push vote by mail fraud - only way Biden could win over realDonaldTrump

I'm just here for the comments!

The very thing that makes our country so amazing, freedom, is the thing that absolutely f**** it up.

Good lord Georgia elected an asshole

Es momento de crear una empresa de féretros en Georgia.

So it’s purely a coincidence that Georgia is one of the three rates with the highest percentage of Black people? How many more ways do our policies have to show they will exploit the economically vulnerable and willfully expose them to this disease? ThisIsPlannedGenocide

This Governor GovKemp sounds like a real loser!

This should totally work out great. Seems well thought through

Well Guess i won't be going to Georgia for my birthday in august Yall bout to join Florida, TX, California and Arizona as hometowns of lady rona Enjoy the freezer trucks

Trump has these people doing it on purpose for some reason. His niece is right, he wants to tear it all down.

I thought Republicans support less government and local control. Oh well, confirmed hypocrisy.

HUUUH

If you want, wear a mask and social distance and stay home if you are high risk. This is America where we have the freedom to choose. freedomoverfear LiveFree

Brian Kemp is a fool.

LockHimUp

Wish Arizona’s Governor dougducey were quick to uphold Americans Constitutional rights as Gov Kemp.

GovKemp is another ProDeath Яepublicaи.

MASKS DON'T WORK. THIS IS PROVEN SCIENCE.

Abuse of power!

Limeylizzie Kemp sucks so much ass.

Everyday a new political ass-whole Rises to the surface.

I think Kemp and DeSantis are competing for the Most Incompetent, Corrupt and Criminal Republican Governor Award.

Stacey Abrams wouldn’t of tried to kill us.

Places like Walmart Kohls Target etc. will do well when people in areas that don’t require masks opt for businesses that do require them.

He is crazy!!!!!!

Woo hoo! This is how it’s SUPPOSED to Work!!

Stunning.

He's thinking long term and building social trust. It will work better if people are compliant to wearing mask out of courtesy, versus being told that they must.

Ain't it funny how Republicans think local leadership know best how to take care if itself. It's time counties and cities start ignoring their state governors who have made being unsafe a measure if political loyalty.

Call him

Government controlling businesses?

I hope he

kylegriffin1 · Jul 15 MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Republican Gov. Kay Ivey mandates face masks as state exceeds 1,100 coronavirus deaths, more than 56,000 confirmed cases.

Good move on Kemp’s part. BrianKempGA

Stupidity

Can they recall the governor? Georgiaisfucked

It's time to impeach GovKemp after he opted to reopen GA well ahead of the state meeting Fed guidelines by the CDC and medical / scientific community, causing a ramp up of new cases, and now his orders to not allow cities and counties in GA to mandate masks. ImpeachKemp

as it SHOULD be..VOLUNTARY..!

We need a national policy on masks. Four months to go before we can get it from the Biden administration.

Then he is a murderer.

It takes a special kind of fact denying asshole to ignore reality this consistently

That’s called leadership and letting free citizens make their own decisions. Bravo, Georgia 👏

Stupid azz fool! Trump don’t care what you do! Wow you are a piece of work!

I'm half Georgian! Proud of Gov. Kemp!

MaddowBlog Well we know where we're going But we don't know where we've been And we know what we're knowing But we can't say what we've seen And we're not little children And we know what we want And the future is certain Give us time to work it out -

SharonJWright1 We can see how well that's working.

Good. Let businesses set their own mask wearing mandates, not the mayors and governors.

Georgiansareontheirown . Wear a mask no matter what. Please ignore Trump III. Trump II is DeSantis.

KeithOlbermann KyrieMeMo Three That This Reminds Me Of: 1. Past. 2. History. 3. General Sherman. ======================== To do the math- And watch a surge burn through Georgia as it takes its path.

elagrew Indeed as the numbers are bullshit

How do citizens appropriately respond to state-sponsored terrorism from their own Governor, GovKemp? This seems like you’re challenging them to live in a moment outside of the safety and confines of the law that protects every citizen, including yourself.

Asshat. These men make me sick.

Any Braves who get COVID19 is on GovKemp

Why is it so hard to wear a mask and protect others?

Which Nazi was GovKemp reincarnated from? We know StephenMiller is a direct spawn of JosephGoebbels... anyone?

I read a tweet the other day about how during WW2 all houses in London would turn all lights out at night so enemy would not have target to bomb, hence saving lives. Wear a mask, save life.

Idiot

So the devil went down to Georgia, looking for a soul to steal.... found one in a poor sap named Kemp, swiped it, and ran for governor.

CitizensIReport Because Kemp knows like I do, and this article from the CDC that viruses are too small to be filtered by a mask. Masks do nothing for this but promote fear and the destruction to our economy for political purposes.

That's a bold strategy, let's see how COVID responds....

He issued the order with a mask wearing Navy Officer in the background.

GovKemp just trying to kill as many Georgians as possible before the election.

GovKemp can be charged in the Hague for creating genocide with this order.

Kemp is a Maskhole

Fuck Kemp!!! If your not wearing your mask bc of him and get sick don’t blame him blame your damn self, just bc he stupid doesn’t mean you should be🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

Let’s do the math, population of Georgia, 10.62 million. 127,834 cases, 3091 deaths, that is .012% confirmed cases, and .0002916% death rate! Open the state and make masks a matter of choice! I am glad someone has common sense! Wish MN would do the same!

Hope you’re the second governor to be Covid positive

Stupid.

This is criminal negligence.

A Governor with a set of ⚽️🏀🎾⚾️🥎🏈🎱 Sure wish we had that in MA.

Awesome!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Atlanta’s airport should operate as a powerful vector to transmit COVID-19... which should endear Kemp to Trump. It seems the real war is with POTUS, and our very survival will be contingent on those who can remain hyper-vigilant until November and live to vote! Trump is evil.

They made that asshole put one on addressing the orange dictator, though. He had it off and came to shake numbnut’s hand and secret service made him put the mask on. Too funny!

Rootly69 I hope until people like Brian Kemp gets a damn brain, we keep our borders shut tight!

What is the definition of incompetent elected official?

Lord knows this man has a lot of hate or is it like Florida gov. Sucking trumps ass trump hasn't shown people to wear a mask and I think for what ever reason that may have made a difference. I know one thing I know we will all be happy when all this virus and hate is over.

Please bring him to California and get rid of the bozo we have

God forbid a gov should ask people to act responsibly and exercise common sense instead of just issuing edicts.

What the heck is wrong with him 😡

So Gov., would you allow a family member to ride on the back of a motorcycle without a helmet knowing that if an accident occurred recovery would be twice as long and twice as expensive?

Criminal stupidity

Good

He was a crooked builder, he suppressed the vote as sec of state to ensure he won his own election now he’s suppressing the rights of mayors to protect their cities. Typical conservative garbage. BrianKempGA is GARBAGE

BrianKempGA is realDonaldTrump puppet! Makes 0 sense

That’s how it’s supposed to work. Ordering free people around is a counter productive exercise. Especially if it’s your own constituents.

Finally someone with some connob sense! Are you reporting g the massive fraud regarding over blown COVID19 in Fla, Texas & Nevada?

Has anybody noticed that this announcement came less than 12 hrs after Kemp greeted and maskless CoronaDon at the Atlanta airport?

GOP is the Party of Death

Anyone thinks a cotton mask prevents a virus must think underwear holds back a fart

Good for him, Democrat wannabe dictators should not force anyone to wear anything.

Lol wut...they’re banning....banning? I don’t think he’s got that kind of reach but I’m not an expert on GA Law....how does he think the film industry is going to respond to this?

What is wrong with people? And GovKemp their blood is on your hands

Brian Kemp is a murderer by proxy.

People of Georgia; your Governor is failing you. Afraid to lead, make hard decisions to save lives. Sorry you deserve better

Because he knows it's unconstitutional to force Americans to wear any type of attire! And unlike many others he's following science NOT feelings

They voted this POS in. They could’ve had Stacy. Their loss.

The blood is on your hands, GovKemp

Good! Wear a mask if you want to. But don’t try to forge me to.

He still can't ban private businesses from requiring masks on their property

And that’s the way to do it. Instead of dictating what we can and can’t do. If only OregonGovBrown would listen. But, it’s all about “I”.

Georgia knew Kemp was corrupt. But they also knew he wasn’t a black woman. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

He’s literally actively trying to murder people. He needs to be removed.

This is a result of GA’s bowyer suppression! staceyabrams12

Can he speak to CobbSchools about opening this fall, thier decision isn’t for the kids or based on real statistics.

The Infamous Milgram Experiment “...ordinary people are capable of inflicting pain on their fellow humans if someone gives them orders to do so...” (Why a free Flynn & Stone are dangerous imo)

Kemp's also looking at who's willing to utilize a polling place full of unmasked voters.

Yo we need to off this guy........ Like he legit don't give a fuck!

Gov Kemp politely asks citizen not to drink a fifth and drive 100mph.

dumptrump1234 Sad that a governor doesn’t value the life of the citizens he serves. He doesn’t deserve the job, because he doesn’t respect the people, and is endangering their lives.

We HATE our DUMB redneck Gov GovKemp in GA - masks are proven to stop the spread and save lives!

Mask it or Casket!!

Seriously, what is wrong with BrianKempGA ? I mean, aside from stealing his election to become governor.

dumptrump1234 Such naked, corrupt drive for power this man shows us all. GovKemp has done everything to enable whomever or whatever advances his & GOP's disgustingly corrupt agendas. He is a man that will never stop being a threat willingly. He will never go gently into that good night.Vote

My Body, My Choice. Backfiring, right. AbortionIsMurder

BrianKempGA is in a race with GovRonDeSantis to see who can kill more people, and being a little behind on the death count decided to play catch-up. Thousands upon thousands of counts of criminal negligence...

GovKemp will do or say anything... that benefits GovKemp. Sadly... at the cost of Georgians health and possibly their lives. TrumpVirusCoverup

It’s call freedom, choice, this is USA, home of the FREE

Why? How is this serving the interests of the people? Why doens't anyone ever ask these people why they do what they do?

More proof that conservatives only care about you when you’re a fetus

GREAT Gov.-NOT of the Anti-American 'globalist Cabal!' 'Masks are Dangerous to Human Health.' You're Breathing your Own carbon back into your lungs-weakening your immune-system, & More Liable to be ill. Masks are Never beneficial for use outside of operations, & You Know it-!

This is all about setting up a low turnout at the polls in November

Hi, god of the dead here. You’re going to make my job more difficult because you want to live comfortably during a literal pandemic? This is the same as playing Russian roulette and shouting “my body, my choice.” Don’t make my job harder than it needs to be

Stupidest man alive

This dude is the devil.

What stupid looks like...

GovernorKayIvey Pay attention to the smart people

Good God Georgia. You elected this guy?

He should be forced to step down Immediately.

WTF, is he trying out for realDonaldTrump’s coffee boy again?

JayInslee should do the same.

He needs to be arrested. Purposely getting people killed

Look here GovAbbott DanPatrick SenTedCruz JohnCornyn Let Texans manage their own health !!!!

I refuse to hide from a disease with a 99.7% or better survival rate. Scamdemic

Brian Kemp, you are on the wrong side of history, and will be judged accordingly.

Why isn't this kind of sick order punishable? It's sheer madness

Totally driven by science and data.

Businesses should inforce this to protect themselves.

Well Georgia is off the list to visit.

Good ! More should follow his example

Goid job standing up Govenor Kemp

Muh freedom. Mah rights

Good for him. He shouldn't be scared into forcing something onto his citizens based on media hysteria and false numbers

Let’s be honest. The people that support his decision were his supporters anyways. And the people that whining and complaining about it weren’t going to support him or his party anyways. Most of you had your minds made up before covid even started.

It’s easy if you don’t wear a mask your probably going to get COVID19 especially in hot spot areas like Atlanta

Finally someone stepping up to the plate

Learned nothing from your neighbor DeSantis?

Amen, a non tyrannical leader.

and we are sooo thankful for him!!!!! Thank you , Governor!

Ask your self, if Kemp and the GOP were using C19 to mass murder sick and old people, what would it look like? And how would it look differently than what is going on now?

Hell ya!

Kemp stole the governor’s election and now he’s lock step with POTUS45 to toxify the November2020 Election2020 I would not be surprised if Ducey, Abbott and DeSantis all do likewise TexasCOVID Floridacoronavirus ArizonaCovid19

Georgia. A consistent source of stupidity since 1788.

🇺🇸A true Patriot who uses critical thinking

This is murder.

BrianKempGA No guts! No balls! No leadership! Another failure to do the right thing.

Luckily corporations are starting to mandate masks..they are smart enough to realize, unlike the stupid, brainwashed FoxNews watching Trumpsters that the economy will not come back until we eradicate this virus like Europe, Asia and Canada..the SMART countries..WearAMask

Thank you Governor Kemp. govkristinoem

Let no Republican say, ever again, that GOP is “Pro-Life.”

Well damn. I think Kemp should ban cities and counties from order people to wear any coverings at all. I need my freedom to go naked!!! FreeOurGenitals

This is why Covid is gonna have another spread meaning more time at home 🙃

Wtf is the point of this besides political When do we get to hold these nuts accountable for croniism or whatever kind of politically biased BS this counts as

Your GOP 2020. Working hard to defeat the one public health measure that is proven to slow this raging epidemic and to save lives. This is not a culture war. This is AmericanGenocide.

Apparently kemp is getting a cut of the bounty money!!

Dear Lord just wear a damn mask!

I mean stores can still deny your entry. Like before they have a right to refuse services. So either wear a mask or look stupid trying to get into walmart. Theres just abt to be alot more Karens on the timeline

.GovKemp did this to protect Trump who didn’t wear one yesterday when he visited Atlanta.

I so respect this man! He actually gets what’s going on.

Hey, new methods of population control I guess. Boy, this is the brightest governor EVER!!! 😑

MaddowBlog You’re all doomed. There has never been leadership this weak and it trickles down from the WH.

Time for every corporation and large company that calls Georgia home to cut any future ties and make a move.

Good for him!!!!!!

With the known deadly consequences of behaving socially irresponsible, we have irrational destructive decisions like these led by ignorance.

Hallelujah, finally a govenor with some sense. Thank you Govenor Kemp. That is exactly why I voted for you!

AndySpecht This is holding the economy back. I’m not going anywhere but the grocery store until this is under control. No spending money at bars, theaters, restaurants, airlines, hotels until this is over. These fuckers will send our kids to senseless wars but won’t wear a fckn mask!

We are supposed to be a free country. If mandatory masks work, why are they not mandatory in prisons? Why did the maskless homeless not perish? Enough of this bullshit. Enough!

very “pro life” of him

MegaOhmster This guy is getting people killed.

Stupid no.....x?!

What the hell?

It’s a damn shame that one idiot can damage so many he swore to do good by

Gov. Kemp-Criminal

there should be a class action suit on all politicians who are not listening to the scientists & causing people to suffer & die. let's call what he & others are doing, it's plain out in the open murder, & attempted murder.

My 2020 fall conference in GA just got cancelled - the in-person format. How many MD/PhD/Public Health officials do you need to tell you how this showdown (AKA largest observational study without informed consent) is going to go? Coronavirus vs. GOP Governor.

Really”Like the 33 testing labs that fraudulently claimed 98% positive tests when reality was 9.6%. Scamdemic

I probably say this way too often, but, I so fucking grateful I don't live in Georgia 🤦🏾‍♀️😫😫

Gov. Kemp should ask his fellow compañero from OK who is now regretting.

J. F. C. 😲

It should be A Choice

smalltownandrew Thank you Gov Kemp!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

Are you wearing that mask voluntarily? Good. Are you being forced to wear that mask? Take it off! resignnowkemp

Heard immunity people. If there is no vaccine is sight our immune system must be strong enough to fight it off. Wearing masks diminishes you immune system.

GovKemp says no masks, Alabama and Florida fine people who don’t wear them... Kemp is an idiot GOPDeathCult GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCorruptionOverCountry

Aww the fu%faced power hungry democrats will be so sad...

Don't need one if you can socially distance. Outside no. Inside, depends on distancing

Great job Trumptards

I thought BrianKempGA was BETTER than this...turns out he is as much a MOTUS as the one in the WH...WHY haven't these people learnt from Governors like LarryHogan ? It's downright RIDICULOUS...God help them!

“Small government” at its best.

Thank you Governor Kemp! A leader has finally stood up, now it’s time for others to do the same. If you want to wear a mask, please do.

I’m gonna miss GA.

Vote for Democrats if you don't want to die.

that same 'personal responsibility 2 volunteer 2 wear mask as good Texan-got us worse than March NYC, sorry Georgia, will B bad there 2 then' GovAbbott & 'more important things than living' DanPatrick said 'open everything up NOW & fast & ehh masks' AbbottFailedTexas COVID19

Masks are just a metaphor for the Cult of Trump being defiant. It has nothing to do with convenience, or facts, or common sense or helping others. It is the Trump Cult kicking its feet, and screaming 'I'm not going to eat my broccoli!'

Good. Masks are ineffective against viruses.

Massive slip of a man. georgia take the midnight train out of there. Biden2020Landslide VoteTrumpOut2020

🥴

The GOP is killing people

How do these clowns get elected?

Outstanding leadership...

Me2189251618 Sounds like good state to move to

atensnut .0003 -This is your death rate in Georgia folks, this is why you're being forced to breath carbon monoxide by officials who want to hype this up for election.

But why?

Why why why

People are all outraged and not one mask will prevent you from getting the virus. Only n95s actually filter out what is coming in. I wear mine becausei don’t want anyone in my face, but mandatory mask wearing is not following the science as so many of you claim you’re preaching.

Crimes against humanity.

Finally! Braincells, common sense and balls! Bravo! NoMask

Idiot

Darth Mail arrives.

Excellent. The science is clear. Not only do masks not work, but they raise your risk of getting the virus.

This is an attempt at genocide. We know who Kemp is. His past racist strategies to keep minorities from voting is well document. Clearly he thinks the higher mortality from COVID for minorities is giving him an opportunity to implement a Final Solution. It's time to CancelKemp

Imagine if drivers were running people over and the Governor came out and said he wouldn’t require people to not run over people but instead encourage them not to. You are a terrible excuse for a state leader GovKemp

atensnut AP is propaganda

Unbelievable! This will never end if everyone doesn't do their part! WearADamnMask WeAreAllInThisTogether

How many people is Georgia have died from Covid? While Brian Kemp plays political games with everyone’s lives

Ignore the damn fool. Masks save lives.

atensnut Tyrannical government control of the individual's life turns power hungry politicians on.

Now that is an idiot.

'I hereby order you to NOT be safe, to NOT be responsible, and to maximize the carnage in GA.' - Sincerely, Gov Kemp

f_wisnt Too bad Gov Stitt of OK doesn't have a pair to do the same. No masks ordinance!

I continue to search for the why of people making the most senseless decisions during this time. trying to kill us off? truly that uneducated? Trump has something on them? Are they so dedicated to strict ideologies that they can’t see it? Or is it money. Somehow it’s prob 💰 🤯

Take a lesson in governorship MikeDeWine. NoMask

atensnut Good for you Governor, we know what to do by now

There really are no words to describe how incompetently insane this is, if you had surgery and died because your doctor refused to mask up you would own the hospital Republican are responsible for the death of thousands of Americans and they just keep killing, they'll kill us all

What is this with the GOP governors, a race to see who kills/infects more people?

Let’s hope the people from Georgia have more sense than their governor & totally ignore him. Stay safe & wear your damn mask 😷

We do live in America. We are all adults and should have the freedom to make our own choices. This does not mean I am anti-mask.

WHAT? I hope those town/city managers/mayors and citizens are telling him to shove that up his ass.

It's beginning to look a lot like Russia, every where you go, the post office is shutting down barr is the only law around, with people dropping dead like flies, oh, it's, beginning to look a lot like Russia

kempmanslaughter

Hey BrianKempGA - why bother cheating your way into the office if you're not going to do the job Is it just easier to be guilty of negligent homicide? VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

Why does everything have to become so political? I’m as big of a realDonaldTrump supporter as anyone but if you want the economy to stay open then wear your fucking masks in public. It’s really not that difficult.

martingeddes

This guy needs a blanket party down a dark Georgia alley one night.

Who votes for these idiots?

Sheesh! He is not good at governing (or probably parenting too) at all. 🤦‍♂️

Kemp should try packing his bags 💼💼and get the hell out of Dodge✈!🙏🏻

As it should be. GovKemp

More evidence that despite their claims the GOP does not support local communities making their own decisions.

He needs to be impeached. Period.

Turn Georgia blue!

He’s asking for it! Corona please do your thing!

If this was a horror movie (which it is), Georgia just ran up the damn stairs

bonita_jay1 Hell yeah, like there should be voluntary speed limits, voluntary paying of taxes, voluntary if you come to work or not, voluntary doctors and nurses who think it is voluntary to treat and care for you or not. Voluntary prisons, air traffic control, America will you ever grow up?

It's a bit late for that personality responsibility stuff, BrianKempGA. Trump pays him a visit & he decides to support Trump's wishing well rather than putting the health and well being of Georgians first. Kemp has become a eunuch.

Good job

This is disgusting. It is against all logic and will harm his state in so many ways.

GovKemp is a moronic idiot. Where does a man who lives in a mansion protected by the GeorgiaGuard know what is better for the health safety of a local community than their mayor? BrianKempGA is putting politics over lives & the GaRepublicans is helping. gapol gagop georgia

With this line of thinking -bars can keeep serving alcohol to those who can’t stand up- let them drive their cars and kill others and say well it was voluntary upon the customer to know when to stop drinking.

jamiedupree there it is, GovKemp is a spineless coward.

Based on the absolute ignorance of governor and the criminal activity of both US Senators, (Insider trading) Georgia should be absorbed by Fl, SC and AL. Statehood revoked and D.C. will be added as the 50th state.

Crazy!!!

He must be so proud ....

That’s ridiculous- like banning mandatory use of life jackets

marcorubio

Smart man! Georgia gets my tourist dollars this year! 🙌🙌🙌

GovKemp are you crazy?

Isn’t this the same guy who stole his election? Gross.

This is what America is about, clear thinking, making choices for oneself and being responsible for oneself🇺🇸

Savannah, here we come!

Sadly these southern states are on my list of places I will not visit or spend money in!

So sad. But people shouldn't listen to these governers. Just wear a mask

Branch_Tree

The trump virus is not gonna voluntarily go away

Why

That's as good as the old adage of leading a horse to water

Recall kemp recallkemp

Just so he can kiss up to Trump. Goodness me

Better yet why doesn’t Gov Kemp make it against the law to wear a mask and those who break the law get fined or arrested. He and Gov Desantis have made it clear they just don’t give a damn about the citizens of their states

They WANT it to spread It’s the only explaination

At some point this has to be criminally negligent. You know what the science shows, and yet you are actively working against local leaders attempting to save lives

Only the fetus needs to wear a mask in kemp’s world

WOW!

Idiot.

Oh GEORGIA, you could have had Stacy Abrams leading you. You allowed a corrupt imbecil to steal the election instead. Do better next time.

But does it really work?

Good for him. Mask mandates lead to vaccination mandates

Shameful

.GovKemp is a murderer.

Kemp is going full MAGA stupid. Hope Georgians aresmart enough to revolt.

Authoroux So, all the people who die from now on leave their blood on his hands. Shameful, and sad.

Mass Immunity !!!

GOP was against death panels before they were for them.

Gross.

Pro-life peeps should be encouraging masks. Just sayin'

docrocktex26 America, we need to remind Governors they work for the people. RonDeSantisFL BrianKempGA GregAbbott_TX dougducey GovStitt to name a few! Do what’s right for your state! You are failing! Look at your states! Disaster has kicked the door down!

He’s got an IQ of a tree!!

BrianKempGA is a devious a$$hole along with RonDeSantisFL. They do not care about American lives. They care about realDonaldTrump optics. Bigly Losers!!! GOPCowards GOPComplicitTraitors TrumpVirusCatastrophe

I see he is interested in watching UGA or GT play football this fall

This is a noble gesture that represents freedom to the people! It’s time that someone who claimed to be a governor stood up to the false-sciences mob headed by Anthony Fauci. This false-sciences mob wants to usurp power through a fraud! StopTheMagicShow

If the death rate goes up really high, can these people be sued?

Those that continue to not wear masks care more about themselves than they do about the health and safety of their Country...

I hear Karma calling

joncoopertweets Just keep a very close eye on the infection numbers in Georgia over the next few weeks...almost certainty that they will start to rise...the hospitalisations and death will parallel several weeks later...

Anyone know if GovKemp requires his staff to wear a mask and be frequently tested? It would make sense...

Can GA recall this criminal?

BrianKempGA is that kid at school. The one your mother won’t let you play with because There’s something not right about that boy.

Whoever said 'ya can't fix stupid' was talking specifically about situations exactly like this. peopleareidiots idiotsabound 🙄 All we can do is hope that there are more smart people around who will ignore this edict. 😒

NC_Governor

Florida, we gave the highest cases of Covid 19! Georgia, hold my beer..

He’d probably ban life jackets on a sinking ship, oh wait, he is.

Georgia, Alabama’s slightly less inbred cousin

Clearly he missed Florida trying this and it backfiring

WintersPilar If only we had a governor like him or Noem. We have to put up with a tyrant, Wolf, who couldn't care less about our safety. This is all about mail-in fraud.

Brian Kemp is leading the GOPDeathCult in Georgia. With 'elected' officials like that, who needs enemies?

jamiedupree He’s an idiot

GovAbbott Take a lesson! No masks! No lockdown!

Weeeeird country

Voluntary mask wearing only works in places with a smart, decent, empathetic population who can put the needs of themselves over their own selfishness and pettiness. Name me a red state that fits that description.

Infected residents need to do a non mask wearing sit in protest at his office!

That is leadership. Commitment to killing everyone equally.

Let’s guess the new state with a spike in cases..... anyone?

Does Georgia have gubernatorial recall laws?🤔🤔🤔

jamiedupree Loony tunes gonna loony.

Freedom of choice!

We all know that evil people are delivered evil mirrors - KempsKarmaIsComing karma always delivers courtesy of our creator above -in the ‘eyes of all that is seen and unseen ‘ truth is known

Atlanta's on fire & GovKemp orders the water shut off? GA is burning while he fiddles. Who's he fiddling for? Must be someone who wants to see more Georgians sick/dying.

It is a country of 328 million. Must be a few morons in the crowd. Who knew they would be Governor?

Governor Kemp is a murderer😠

GovKemp Heartless Bum !!!

Good. Glad to hear it.

Thank you GovKemp!! 👋🏽

👏👏👏

Literally not the role of business owners and employees to enforce it. If you see an unmasked person and you're bothered by it, make certain you keep 6 feet or more distance between you and them and enjoy your day.

Wtf

GovKemp is a murderer

BrianKempGA is both stupid and guilty of criminal negligence. If he was a serial sexual abuser, he'd have hit the trifecta and be just like his boss, realDonaldTrump

At this late date? That’s criminal.

Kemp is pro-COVID. Good thing he rigged the election to become governor.

Ignorant and greedy

He should be liable for anyone who dies from COVID-19

Twerp

Interestingly enough, the Venn diagram of between people who don’t believe that masks work, and people who believe in a 2000 year old fairytale founded on non-truths by a pregnant teenager is pretty much a circle.

Leftists always get upset when they see someone trying to prevent local officials from becoming little dictators over their own little fiefs. What the governor of Georgia is doing is preventing local officials from become dictators like all the Democrat governors have become.

I need to move to georgia

Knowing a mask can reduce transmission and not requiring them is negligent on Kemp’s part. Private business will have to do it... NoMaskNoService

Finally, an intelligent man.

He owns every death going forward.

So stupid

Idiot

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸👌🇺🇸

Kemp sides with conspiracy theorists over scientists. Or maybe he forgot (again) how the virus is transmitted. This decision may end up shutting down the Georgia economy in time for Christmas.

When you say 'encourage...'

martingeddes My man. Wish I lived there.

Every death in Athens, Savannah, East Point, and Atlanta should be credited to him, and he should be mentioned in each of their obituaries.

Brian Kemp, who became governor by purging African-Americans from the voter rolls while Secretary of State, is actively trying to kill Georgia citizens. Think about that for a second. GOPkills TrumpKills TrumpVirus

The puppet Governor kissed Dump’s ass, as usual!

This is what happens when an election is stolen. The official feels no loyalty or obligation to the electorate just the people that facilitated the fraud. Kemp is a POS. I live in Georgia and I will not forget and I will not forgive his willingness to expose my family to COVID

RENEEWEATHERS2 Nice to see that you just want to kill everyone in your state

Kemp is the one who didn’t know that Covid was contagious when ppl are symptomatic. He just doubles down on stupid.

Good for him it's called common sense

People, he didn’t say you CANNOT wear a mask. Please protect yourselves, your family and thise around you

BrianKempGA is a horrible governor. He is not doing what's best for the citizens. He's doing what he think Trump would approve cause he so desperately want his validation.. You stole the election with voter suppression and you showing you are not qualified.

Many ppl are asking why & looking for reason to explain this. Stupidity? Complicity? it’s simple. The man is a dishonest narcissist turned criminal. He cheated on a massive scale out in the open to win the governorship. How many fewer lives would be lost with staceyabrams ?

It's easier to get elected if no one is alive to vote...

SUE HIS A**

Lordy.... bless his heart!!! You just can’t fix stupid. 😏

Thank you Governor Kemp! Best Governor in America. He values freedom over tyranny!

hester_hen

He’s trying to kill y’all

I assume it’s not illegal to DUI in Georgia? Just asking as an ignorant foreigner.

Can't help crazy

Dumb. If people are forced to wear masks everyone will feel more comfortable going to stores. It helps the economy.

If the pres is going to act like laws don’t matter when he wants 2 make money or inflict pain, I say do the same to help ppl. Mandate masks anyway. Ignore the governor.

WTF?

Wow, someone that's not a tyrant.

That worked so well for GovAbbott.

I’m curious. What about national retailers like Walmart that have store wide policies of no mask, no service. Will he tell them they can’t do that?

😂😂😂😂

YOU Will eventually be GOING TO JAIL

Someone tell GovStitt to do the same thing... Tulsa Mayor gtbynum did just that.. Passed a Mask Mandate that he will sign this morning at 9am

People wearing masks all day are getting skin rashes. Waiters wearing the dumb gloves have wet, smelly hands all day and are getting infections. If you're young/not in a nursing home, better to fractionally raise your risk of the incredibly survivable disease than live in misery

Brian Kemp needs to ask himself if he ever wants films made in his state again. Because he can mandate masks and the economy goes boom b/c of tent pole films or it can go boom and crew and talent refuse to work there. Idiocracy!!!

It’s one thing to say he won’t mandate it but to say businesses can’t?! WTF?! What’s the rationale there

DdEnwright PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ! LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF! IF U AGREE, PLEASE RETWEET!! Thanks. Curtis from moreno valley.

This guy. The ultimate Horse’s Ass.

joncoopertweets The idea that small government means letting it's citizens endanger their own health is ludicrous.

This is crazy!

This is the sort of thing that will break Republican support and make them exclusively a party of the Qanon loons...

Going full Abbott is a bad idea.

Idiot...

Wouldn't a mask be less of an inconvenience than DEATH.

He is taking a political stance. Covid-19 is not motivated politically. May God Bless the people of GA 🙏

The lies in FL testing doesn’t help...now does it?! But that wouldn’t be a story you would want to report on...now would it? Journalism is a word and a “profession.” Look it up!

'No shirt? No shoes? No mask? No service!' That's NOT 'Oppression'!

This is why we are in the place that we are. This about public health, don't get it confused with anything else. Some people need a push to do what is right for the common good. Wear a darn mask, period.

d_cdh952 Incarcerate him and all of DRUM Cronies now! The SOONER the better it will be for AMERICA and all of US!!

joncoopertweets He's also trying to kill off the aged, weak, poor, disabled, native Americans and blacks. This is soft genocide.

The people of Georgia elected Him. I pray those who didn't vote for him will survive him. People need to study up on their political candidates and find out if they are smarter than a rock before they vote.

Those degrees from Trump University really shine through. Will seat belts become voluntary too ? How about obeying the speed limits ?

Wow

👏🏻👏🏻🇺🇸

I must say when I see this, DeSantis and the likes I’m exceedingly grateful I decided to return to New England after I got out of college.

Calling staceyabrams to action!! The ppl of GA respect you, believe in you, trust you — you need to deliver a msg to them to wear masks!

This is dystopian.

Love our governor! He is just upholding the law. It's your choice to wear a mask or not, because we live in the land of the free because of the brave! America

Georgia here. This man won office because of voter suppression. He cheated. Like Trump, he is now literally killing us. He WILL be a one-term governor, but what will he left of us when he leaves? IdiotKemp

What is gained by doing this GovKemp ?

These fools really don’t care if you live or die...wear a stupid mask 😷

All you personal-responsibility hawkers: does pers. respon. not include seeing the suffering of your fellows and choosing to be responsible for mitigation; not just their suffering but potentially yours as well? Or is it just code for “fuck off, Jack, you’re on your own?” WWJD?

blanken01 Have this Governor contact Rin De Santis in Florida please

Ignore him

This should be criminal ... negligent murderer

Georgia's cities need to sue the governor. They have the obligation to act to protect public health.

joncoopertweets GovRonDeSantis Don’t get any ideas. This guy is saving you from being the worst governor this week.

GovKemp super disappointed you are taking this stance.

joncoopertweets BrianKempGA is amoron ....dont pee of mymleg an call it rain .... Breaking24_7 is doing this to support realDonaldTrump an doesnt care who gets sick or die since Kemp lied an cheat get his office ...WearADamnMask an save a life kempie Dumb Kemp dumber trump

joncoopertweets True genius. Reckless disregard for human life

martingeddes Wow leaving it up to citizens. What a concept. ❤️

I think we found an even dumber governor than the one in Florida.

I’ve never seen someone want someone else to like them as much as GovKemp wants Trump to like him

joncoopertweets Walmart, as one example, recently said it was mandating masks inside their stores so now what?

kemp de santis trump killing you all

BorrelliGerlach Who is believing that they are somehow protected by not wearing a mask? Talk about stupid!

A real Governor!

Since he wants to ban places from having people wear masks, will he also give up his right for treatment if he contracts the virus? Will the same apply for the people who listen to him? Asking for people in the medical field who would have to treat their sick asses...

I mean...

Now that is a piece of $hit and why I’ll never vote republican again

Wtf

martingeddes Thank God! A Governor with balls. He has to know it's all a hoax.

Typical! I’m sooo surprised 🙄

JasonLaCanfora This guy should be charged with manslaughter

Why is this real life! 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

GovKemp sad this came after trumps visit! We know who influenced you! Kiss ass much Brian?

For crying out loud ALABAMA is mandating!!!

Yea GovKemp! You just earned my vote.

This is fucking deranged

Bad luck, Georgia!

Oh, is he gonna give a Pollyanna Pep Rally like GovMikeDeWine ..😒

Gordon has words for Kemp

If this guy was any more worthless his last name would be Trump.

Voluntary behavior isn’t working. Lots of people in Atlanta with masks, lots without. Precisely why we are getting worse not better.

Lets start letting people smoke in public buildings again while we sre at it.

AdriannaHopkins Power hungry hick. Local governance be damned

Good for him

Exactly how it should be.

yeah, that'll work.

What happened to hand-washing and not touching your face? Can we order those too?

NBNNewsFeed

There is no rational reason for this.

Too bad the election was stolen from Stacey Abrams.

Brian Kemp is a killer.

It’s ok, I’m sure all y’all living in Georgia can forward your bills related to Covid to him. It is now HIS responsibility to pay for it.

Voter suppression lite

What is wrong with BrianKempGA? Is he so insecure that he has to suck up this hard to Trump? Or does he hate his constituents so much that he wants them sick and dying? Or is he just that stupid, that with all evidence to the contrary, he doesn’t believe the science?

Moronic, can we please stop voting for anyone who doesnt believe in SCIENCE?

RecallKemp

No joke...this is the result of years of forced kindness to stoopit people. Se should go back to shaming stoopidity.

I also dislike shoes and clothes. Can we ban that as well?

This is why the WalkingDead started in Georgia.

Rise up, Georgians and tell that hack BrianKempGA where he can stuff his bs order.

Why?! What could possibly be the rationale? Politics at its very worst. 🤦🏻‍♂️

RepublicansAreTheProblem RepublicansAreKillingUs GOPComplicitTraitors GOPTraitors

WHY What’s in it for him On the other hand....”City halves its coronavirus case rate after month of mask policy”, story about Montgomery AL and sensible, science driven leadership.

What about Walmart and Krogers/Fred Meyer stores? Is he stopping them? What about any other businesses that want to enforce a mandatory mask?

Kemp is a horrible person. CorruptAndComplicitGOP NegligentHomicide

And because of this y’all won’t be out of lockdown for a long long time. Your governor is ignoring science and listening to who? Himself? The president? He’s going to kill a lot of people in Georgia. Don’t bring your Covid to my state.

It’s official. We have the dumbest governor in the country.

ImpeachKemp

I hope the Hague is already lining up the prosecutions of the gop.

Gee I hope the people of Georgia realize that their governor is going to kill you. Wear a mask!

Stay in Georgia

RemoveKemp

Kemp’s night job....GovKemp

MaddowBlog F*** him and f*** his ban. Do what you have to do to save yourself. Your fellow American.

BrianKempGA doesn’t care about Georgians. He’s letting them die. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Today starting at 5pm Alabama is all masks required I'm curious to see if the numbers of positive for the virus goes down or stay the same

Are you smarter than a 5th grader? A) walk around in large crowds B) going to huge gatherings with friends C) wear a mask when out in public D) go to places without a mask cause you don’t care and don’t care about others around you? Answer is C. Wear a mask out in public

The facts speak for themselves

What is going on Is the GOP intentionally culling the heard?

Replace this fool

Can't wait to see how this is going to get spun.

I don’t care what others do. I wear a mask when I’m inside stores, not outside. If someone walks in without a mask, that is his/her choice. If my mask can’t protect me, then why are we wearing them?

Looks like he will be joining the ranks of the Oklahoma governor soon.

I'm in GA and I won't shop or go anywhere if people aren't wearing masks. Businesses better start mandating them or they will lose everything. People won't have it

If the kardashians put out a fashion mask pre pandemic most would mask up. This is how stupid we’ve become as a nation.

He is an embarrassment to the state of Georgia.

And this is a reason why cases are surging in the states while other countries are starting to somewhat slow

martingeddes Here’s to your mask; 🖕

Victim-blaming from the GOP?

This isn’t Democracy. It may appear Kemp is giving Georgian’s the “freedom” and choice to wear the mask. But, this is Kemp encouraging and validating the unscientific lie that masks are not necessary in public. Kemp’s dictatorial action is typical Republican cow manure.

My body my choice.

Insane!

Killing people to please Trump is a Republican thing

Not working!! GovKemp lets just 'encourage' parents to put children in car seats! 'Encourage' drivers to stop at red lights, etc...

martingeddes Bravo. Patriot Governor. Bravo.

Another state to never visit once the pandemic is over.

Death cult

martingeddes

Dana38374469 Thank God!! Freedoms are not arbitrary!!! He’s following the constitution so no wonder Democrats/Nazis R upset!!! They need Masks 2hide from Police! GOP GovBrianKemp (brave) SenateGOP should be demanding the same every where in America!! MasksNotForHealthy nor Public at large

What a fascist. Telling people to think for themselves. How dare he.

Why are all these Republicans seemingly actively trying to kill off their base? I don’t get it.

Republicans are trying to off all of us.

And people should voluntarily abstain from abortions and marrying same sex partners too! Oh, what? I guess people don't get those freedoms. Control over your own body, and sex life is well within the government's realm of control, but wearing a mask is just too far!

This is just another way he's found 2 suppress the black vote in Georgia because there's a large black population there & the virus is attacking the POC community more than other communities. As far as he's concerned the other communities being infected r just collateral damage.

This leapfrogs corruption and goes straight into pure sociopathy. WTF is wrong with Republicans?

Is this the guy who cheats to keep his seat ?

This is obscene Other than voter fraud, how did this schmuck get elected?

COVIDIOT

Because he is a corrupt doctor

Are people of color more likely to catch this virus and become seriously ill? Asking for a friend.

MaddowBlog He should be charged with endangering the public or something. This Kemp guy’s a wanker.

Yep, the guy who hid voting machines, amongst other things to steal his office. The writing was on the wall. Alot folks gonna die and suffer masketorcasket

Dope

Our governor challenged the good people of Utah to stop up and wear a mask. You can guess how that went

KeithOlbermann I would encourage Gov. Kemp to voluntarily do his job and protect the people of his state.

I hope he gets voted out (gets Covid).

Remember to keep in mind we're changing our ways not only to protect ourselves but, just as important, we're trying to protect those who may be more susceptible to COVID-19. This is our motivation, our new reason for being for the foreseeable future. Be safe, 6ft & mask. Okay!

Why does GovKemp want Georgians to die?

freedumb

GovKemp KILLS AMERICANS

Good. I hope everyone who thinks it’s a hoax get sick and recovers. Maybe then these morons will stop doubting science.

Anyone choosing the no mask option should sign a no hospital/medical care option as well.

dangerous.

Amazing how the goal is to wreak havoc at the expense of lives for these GOP.

Good for him and Georgia. It shouldn’t be mandated to wear masks CDC HHS top leading virologist infectious disease doctors have said wearing a mask to include n95, surgical masks, and cloth masks does not STOP the spread of ANY virus even COVID-19.

sahilkapur BrianKempGA In public disservice since 2003.

GovKempResign

wow. georgia - Vote his ass out. GovKemp is killing people to kiss up to Trump.

MaddowBlog So essentially..... we will never win this covid-19 war

I propose that everyone refusing to wear a mask have a designation which bans the use of a ventilator to save their idiotic lives

true_onion Until his grandson catches it and is critically ill in ICU and he realizes viruses are non-political

Stupidity is learned... you are born with it!

Wow. What a...and I say this delicately...clusterfuck

Good for him people need to grow up and quit with all the drama if they are afraid then stay at home, wear your little masks that we know for a fact does not stop any virus none. Bunch of bloody nonsense.

CoronaKempGenocider

Stupid man

Leading with ego rarely goes anywhere well. This is scary and sad.

bigstape Does he have his will & testament in order? Oh wait, don't those things begin with 'being of sound mind...' usually?

Good. Screw all the people hiding under their couches

Funny how he does that after meeting with trump.

BpopeTV Yay! Finally. Asking is so much more effective than commanding!

BBCJonSopel Don’t be like me - be Covid free Wear the correct mask 😷😷😷

Great Governor

This is a political stunt as Trump is in Georgia. What a kiss ass, expected nothing less from Republican governors selling their states down the pandemic river of blood. kempfailedgeorgia

He knows that if masks really work you could open the country just wear masks

smartdissent Welcome to.genocide

Atuiolosega Thank you GovKemp for respecting our First Amendment rights! I’m so thankful to be in this state at this time. And I applaud you for having the courage to exercise common sense in the midst of collective sustained idiocy. Georgia4Kemp EndTheCoronaHoaxAlready

Sad and coward decision.

The Governor of Unlaw and Disorder, Brian P. Kemp! GovKemp

1NationAND1God 'Mask Wearing' is voluntary, but corporate media pretends it isn't. No State has passed any law requiring anyone to wear a mask anywhere. Instead Democrat Governors are using licensing agencies to threaten business licenses that don't impose the Governor's wishes on consumers.

Dumb dumb

Seems Gov Kemp has sealed his deal with the devil. It's the only rational explanation. None other than that exists.

P***Y just doesn’t want to upset the Primate Of The US

Blood on his hands

Big Pharma needs more human trials anyway.

Wearing a mask in public to protect others from illness and death is just about the least effort we can make.

He needa to be removed immediantly. Intentionally endangering the public wtf is this? People wake up and realize what is going on.

As it should be

karenhunter He's the epitome of failed leadership. WTF is wrong with the entire GOP?

Another genius

Holy fuck, the comments here in support of GovKemp are the most idiotic and infuriating thing I’ve read all day. If everyone wore a mask, fewer people would die. Plain and simple.

This guy really doesn’t care lol

What do other states have to do with Georgia? Meanwhile not every localities have the same issues.

NorsemanActual So despicable. Is he kissing trump’s ass and endangering people in the process?

GovKemp Hey Governor, how about you get your fucking head out of your ass? My father lives in Savannah. My sister lives in Atlanta and I have an aunt who lives near Glenville. None of which were born in the State of Georgia but are there because my dads last duty station was

WTF BrianKempGA

Translation the mayors have no legal authority to force a citizen to do this and the Governor is pointing this out and doing his duty to protect citizens rights. I don’t even like this Governor I think he’s a doosh. But this is moronic. We have rights

Brainless Kemp 😷 Grow up 😠😠

Even AZ governor realized this was AZ bad idea.

Trump needs to win Georgia during the election. Majority of people who are dying of Covid-19 are Black and Brown People = Democrats!!! They don't care... They wishing enough people are too sick to go to the polls.

SafiMaasai Listen to the Medical EXPERTS and Scientists NOT POLITICIANS. There are no do-overs. When you lose a life, it's gone. MaskUp 😷 StaySafe It's NOT always about YOU!

One can only hope and pray that he gets this thing...

if you dont want to wear a mask dont go to the hospital when you get sick stay home and die and rot

👇🏻

NC_Governor you should be doing this right now.

Hey GovSisolak (Sissy(boy)lak ( hint, hint).

You are globlist front propaganda machine. We have found out All of Florida numbers are cooked, and we will find out many more have been also! MSM are all lies

Gov Kemp is my hero!! We need more leaders like him! Plandemic NoMasks

I agree with governor Kemp—mask should be a choice not mandatory! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

MaddowBlog Murderer.

What’s Trump got on him?

This makes me so f-king nervous !

nadafinite There has not been a consistent mask wearing message. Why not just start wearing masks when going into stores, etc. Cosco has some great masks, that are cloth, adjustable and allow you to breathe comfortably.

TenikkaANjax Is it Opposite Day?

Good luck, GA! Make sure you have your Advance Directive and Will made out in advance, so it is easier on your family. GovKemp does not have your best interests at heart (even if he had one). WearADamnMask VoteKempOut

Genius way to start tackling the under funded social security problem though.

JDiii1210 As it should be

Wow! It's like the Republicans want us to die. Hey everybody regardless of your political ideology... wear a mask, be safe, wash your hands, social distance. We will get through this, but we need to get through it together. StaySafe

TrumpState

Big mistake. I'll jot a note on my covid tracking, so we can see how this plays out for Georgia...and its neighbors.

Those cities and counties should sue Kemp for a dereliction of duty. The country is on fire, it's being televised live in real time and he just wants to play stupid. So sorry for your baby, Georgia, Stacey Abrams is supposed to be your Governor! 😠

When someone shows you who they are - believe them. weak, cheat, with daddy issues.

Jaw-droppingly, egregiously, willfully stupid.

Who told this guy he can tell people, who pays his salary, what to wear?

America is DOOMED!

The same BrianKempGA that wasn’t up to snuff on COVID19 facts pertaining to transmission? That putz is making an asinine call. Wear a damn mask!

Political perspective: The GOP can now kiss GA’s electoral votes goodbye. Moral perspective: He’s playing politics with people’s lives and this WILL cause people to die.

Is he not setting himself up for one hell of a lawsuit, if not criminal charges? Refusing to order mask-wearing is one stupid thing, but forbidding others from ordering it jumps to a whole new level.

Jackass. 🙄

We need the mandate to get it thru some skulls that Covid19 is SERIOUS.

Jackass

Dear Georgia, this guy's a fucking idiot. Wear a mask in public. Do it for yourself, for your family & friends, for your community. Do it for your country.

Those poor Georgians TrumpFailedAmerica GOPBetrayedAmerica

What if someone made a site memorializing all the COVID deaths in Georgia and bought Google ads for every Kemp related search term.... 👀

Thank God for Savannah Van Johnson. His hands may be tied, but he’s still making noise. Fuck BrianKempGA and realDonaldTrump they don’t give two shits about any of us.

Makes me wonder what kind of dirt Trump and Putin have on Kemp.

Too many stupid people we’re doomed.

RECKLESS. DISGRACEFUL. INCOMPETENT

WTF THIS GUY IS PURE EVIL!! GOPDeathCult

If 'ass backwards' and 'can't do right' were a person. 🙄

I will personally come to America and duck tape a mask to all of your faces at this point 🤦🏼‍♀️ what an embarrassment of a country.

Lexual__ Georgia has a clown 🤡 govenor

monitteh

It's no coincidence that Kemp did this on the day Trump landed at Atlanta's airport and was called out by the black, female mayor for violating the mask ordinance. Neither Trump's nor Kemp's racist and sexist egos could handle being school by Mayor Bottoms; it's her comeuppance.

Politics before public health.

pnjaban Right on! Freedom first!

Another stolen election, another deplorable.

MaddowBlog I wonder how long it will be until he tests positive.

Listen to how this guy talks one time ..... just once... it will tell you everything you need to know about his level of intelligence....

Georgia had 3,800 cases on 7/15/2020 and is currently ranked 8th on the list of states.

Kemp is the man!!!!

Georgians should start packing, just sayin’

And this is why I skip anything local and buy absolutely everything on amazon and skip the “I don’t wanna wear a mask bc it infringes on my noses constitutional liberties” nonsense.

Please come knock some sense into the Supreme Leader Newsom

MaddowBlog Georgia should have elected Stacy Abrams.

crampell Can’t Georgians mount a recall campaign for this man who is trying to kill them?

Then it’s up to stores and businesses to require the public to do so. If they refuse, they’re not allowed to shop there. Wear a facemask. Listen to Fauci.

The Georgia Covid numbers are probably falsely elevated like they did in Florida.

Let’s check back in a few week to see how that’s going.

Trump Daddy came to town.

What an IDIOT !! Wake up Georgians !!

Let’s see how this goes

I’m assuming this is akin to faith-based medicine. Georgia claims they are 30th in this country in education, but decisions like these make me wonder...

The head of the CDC says that we could shut down COVID-19 if we all wore masks for 6 weeks. Nothing else is slowing it down, so why not give it a shot? If he's right, then we'll be able to reopen business, schools, etc. and can focus on building the economy back up. Worth a shot.

GovKemp needs to have a conversation with GregAbbott_TX to find out how well this worked out for him.

After seeing the volatility of Trump supporters, this may be the safest thing. I wouldn't want to be the enforcer with those loose cannons. And I doubt very many people want their teenage children working at low wage jobs having to enforce it either.

It's simple, the gop hates people! VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020 WearAMask WearAMaskSaveALife

This guy has to be sued

He's not stupid. Don't doubt clear malice and intent to curb voting by any means he can imagine. GA is a battleground state, COVID disproportionately impacts people of color, people of color tend to vote democrat — this isn't because he's 'dumb'. He's evil.

The rest of the world is laughing at us... uncontrollably laughing at us.

They aren't doing this by accident. We need to see the hospitalization demographics.

He’s going to ban condoms, abortions, and rape investigations really soon

Solid.

Common fucking sense. Imagine that.

Idiot. Remind me to stay the F out of Georgia.

R.I.P Georgia

up_viking Mask shaming is so in right now.

This is premeditated. It's genocide.

Idiot

FVCK YOU BRIAN KEMP!!!

BrianKempGA you are targeting minority communities with this ban

Cc GovAbbott

MaddowBlog Trump understand the mindset of the stupid and they see him as a savior. Unbelievable

Glad to see there still some independent thought out there and not just group think. 🐑

Georgia and Florida governors need to lawyer up! They’re going to prison for killing these people when it didn’t have to happen.

❤️ this

I wish Missouri would follow

He is going to hell!

Never saw so much self defeating policies! the republican governors are criminal nuts !

Good. Having a govt mandate face masks won't make people wear them.

Opening Christmas presents over Zoom is going to be so much fun

Double down like “ dear leader “ FOH !!

Why?

Thank you GovKemp

Genocide is the preferred target? Don't they realize they're also killing their own voting base?

GA, GovKemp is trying to kill you! WearAMask 😷😷😷😷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 SaveYourself!

BrianKemp is gonna ride that Trump train right off the cliff

The citizens should have him impeached!

Stupid is as stupid does

Is there any legal action that anyone could take against Governor Kemp?

Dear GovAbbott, You should be more like Gov. Kemp. Sincerely, Texas

KeithOlbermann GovKemp you are

MaddowBlog BrianKempGA Hell is too good a place for you.

Republicans are always for 'local governance, power as close to the people as possible' ... except when they don't like what that local governance does, at which point they're happy to kick it back up as many levels as they need to get the outcome they want

Banning

Kemp and DeSantis need to remember that the name “Donald Trump Jr.” is already taken.

He did not say you couldn't wear one if you want to. If you're scared, stay home/wear a mask. No one is saying you can't. The people on here just begging not to have free will are absolutely brainwashed and blind with ignorance on coronaviruses/masks/immune systems.

crampell

Republican leaders ain’t $!+

just and FYI, Trump still hasn't said anything about our troops having bounties put on them by the Russians. PutinsPuppet

Good it can remain the shit state that it is...

Sue this pos for reckless disregard for human life.

Great job Governor.

MaddowBlog It’s time to defy these people making these poor decisions with our lives behind politics. These mayors need to shut down their cities and mandate masks. Get the proper testing, tracing in place and get this virus contained or we will regret!

Kemp is a fucking idiot, but as long as business are still allowed to refuse serve to anyone then they can still enforce customer wearing masks before they enter their stores.

If you live in Georgia, good luck 🙄🤔👀👀

Must be nice to be intentionally stupid in the face of science.

This is beyond EVIL!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

KempsNegligentHomicide MasksWork

FALSE POSITIVE LAB NUMBERS does NOT mean Actual Sick with Covid Numbers!! NO MASKS!! If Masks Worked, CHINA would be Virus-Free!! Thank you GovKemp !!

GovKemp. 🖕

KempFailedGeorgia

This is murder... irony... he is a pro-lifer... not pro choice... Hmmm...

Popehat Whhhhhhyyyyyyy!?! What are do you even think you're going to accomplish?

Was this the same guy that didn’t know how a virus works?

There it is. Gov. Brian Kemp is basically saying he's willing to be complicit in more coronavirus infections and deaths in Georgia. And telling his citizens to deal with it. I wonder if he'd wear a mask around Gov. Kevin Stitt.

As it should be. tyranny needs to end

Coulda had staceyabrams. What a shame.

Trump republicans are the party of death. Who needs a death panel when you have Trump and Kemp.

KeithOlbermann The nazis would’ve loved this guy

GovKemp is a disgrace and should resign in shame

So Fucking Stupid

Gross negligence.

Is this like when you tell your 4 year old that they dont have to eat the broccoli but if they do you might be going too legoland tomorrow?

Well, guess I won’t be moving down to GA anytime soon.

Can he even do that? Where is Karma when you need her?!!!

KeithOlbermann Idiot

What a douchebag. Maybe if we'd had a lead at a Federal level...someone who just said that wearing a mask was an act of patriotism...things would've been different. But instead we had what we have. A bunch of idiots who can't put the good of the country over reelection.

Kemp is a MURDERER

Is it a requirement now that every member of the GOP be a complete fucking moron. If masks work, make them mandatory. If they don’t, you may want to tell the entire fucking medical community, I’m sure they’re not wearing them to make a fashion statement.

As it should be. If you mandate it, many people will resist. Educate and encourage people, call on their sense of patriotism and unity.

JoshMankiewicz He really is an ASS!

KeithOlbermann This is why the virus is not under control in the U.S. Shameful. RealMenWearMasks

What in actual heck is wrong with this person?

Funny how he decided after Trump’s visit.

What an a-hole.

Dude is a joke, that stole Stacy Abram's seat

This mutt needs to be locked up as an imminent health threat to the people of Georgia and America. GovKemp. Is reason two million why every republican in American needs to be permanently voted out of office. GOP RonDeSantisFL

. GovKemp is doing a great job.

Tool

These morons should be sued at this point. Serious negligence

the guy behind him know he’s full of shit. look he’s wearing a gd mask.

Yes sir!!! Thats my governor!!!!

Thank you Kemp

This is not how you do things. And people are somehow surprised we have this huge surge

He is responsible for this early reopening mess across the country. I’m so embarrassed to be from Georgia.

Voluntary manslaughter

Either they are too stupid to learn from science and facts, OR they are truly hardcore members of a some weird death cult.

Kemp and DeSantis will ruin the chances to play SEC football. Greg Sankey has a problem in the SEC with these numb nuts!

This wouldn't be a thing if people would just wear a damn mask. It is not that hard. Its about being considerate to others even if you don't feel sick. I mean it is no different than wearing a condom yes it feels better to not have it on but why risk it.

He CAN'T DO THIS!!!!

MaddowBlog Permanent voter suppression laws

I thought Republicans believed in letting locals govern. If my city council which is a lot closer to me than my governor votes for marks isn’t that the will of the people in a democracy. I’m confused about today’s GOP.

What a strange world

Well God bless him! 🇺🇸❤️

Didn’t we already go through this in Texas...? Why is he succumbing to the right wing mob that coming to kill all of us?

What a POS

He’s about as bad as the imbeciles Florida

What could go wrong?

We all see where “trying to encourage mask wearing” has gotten us.

Some people have disabilities and can’t wear masks... mask mandates are absolutely stupid

Good

Like Trump, he is unfit to lead and repeatedly makes partisan and dumb decisions.

MaddowBlog Who does he think he's kidding? People wouldn't even wear seatbelts until it became a law. They certainly won't wear masks.

What a moron 🤦🏻‍♂️

Georgia needs to become fully blue ASAP.

GovKemp is criminally negligent based on the evidence that masking reduces covid19 transmission. Vote him out!

A$$

Awesome! Freedom to choose. Liberty.

MaddowBlog Who knew the 2018 governor’s races in Florida, Texas and Georgia would be this consequential.

Popehat GOP Gov. Brian Kemp decides its safe to kill your neighbors in Georgia.

At some point these Governors need to be held accountable in more ways than just loosing their election! You can't undo death by loosing your job Governor! These are innocent people that are stuck in your control of deciding if they might die due to your negligence!

BrianKempGA You are willfully endangering Georgians for political purposes.

BrianKempGA is trying to let Covid run rampant in our state. I bet he is hoping to get numbers raging enough to make chaos so on election day there will be low numbers in liberal districts one way or the other. Fyi the governor's office is still closed to tours & visitors!

I thought the GOP was all about small government and little overreach

pnjaban You didn't cover the fact that her is allowing them to keep public places closed

Stupid, useless, and ignorant decision, and could be a death knell for any chance at a college football season… if an SEC team has to forfiet it could end it for everyone. This will only embolden the idiots in Georgia and greatly extend the pandemic in their area.

He stole the election.

He's trying to kill people!

John_Scotus 😞

Kemp is just evil. Hopefully he’ll get his eventually.

GovKemp what you’re doing is 1st degree because you know. At the very least manslaughter

My 94 year old grandmother lives in Georgia. Shame on him for not protecting the people that live in his state. SHAME ON YOU GOVERNOR.

Just a special kind of stupid I guess. Uneducated fools

Ask GovAbbott how that worked for Texas.

The stupidest of the stupids.

Insanity.

He needs to be sued and/or removed from his position as Governor.

Kemp is an illegitimate Governor whose order should be treated as null & void.

They should recall him. He is so inept at his job.

Take him to court, hes not a king.

And the race for worst gov in America continues

The people that die will be your fault.

Still up to individual businesses if you have to wear a mask.

MaddowBlog GovKemp mandates Georgians as sacrificial lambs to the realDonaldTrump narrative. TrumpVirus TrumpCoronavirusFailure TrumpFailedAmerica

MaddowBlog Use ole Georgia Crackers gotta kick Kemp’s happy ass out of office before he kills us all with his Trumplican approach to coronavirus.

I wonder what he was offered by Trump to pull this stunt. GovKemp QuidProQuo

Leadership!

Government is really trying to kill us .

He will end up killing people

Is “GOP” a necessary label or is this political?

If voter suppression didn't exist, Stacey Abrams would be leading the great state of Georgia rn.

WTH

Was planning to send my child back to school but not now!! Masks must be required first!!!

When actual science States masks are ineffective & liberals still need that feeling of a safe space. 🤣

Wear a mask unless you don't want to.

I just feel so sorry for the uneducated Americans. Ur countries education system must have critical thinking courses.

Yeah, if I was a Republican I’d want that virus saturating the nation too. Their fun’s coming to an end in November. Everyone knows the Republican party is full of self-centered incompetents, might as well not even bother hiding it anymore, right?

What you gonna do, Kemp? Arrest the mayors? Who you trying to impress, Trump and his cult? What do you think you’re gonna get, the presidency? You know that every time you put on a mask, you confuse your voters. So promise your cult that you won’t wear a mask.

Wtf kinda asshole is this did he not see the trump photo op of wearing a mask. If he is purfussly taking away ppls right to live maybe his shouldnt left to him either.

Will somebody Pffft!, Pffft! right in the Governor's face!

First he stole the election and now he's taking their lives. CriminalKemp

Open up the Governor’s house for tours so you can talk to the people.

Not sure he has the right to do that anymore than he would have the right to order the wearing of masks.

Covid-19 sure is killing a lot of people that racist Brian Kemp hates.

crampell Kemp seems like an idiot.

Hey, freethenippple women, this is your big moment! Storm the Georgia governor’s mansion and demand GovKemp to recognize your freedom.

Dumb ass. Did he test positive for the virus? Another fool that foesn't care about other people’s health

This utter piece of garbage should be forcefully removed from office. Anyone contracting Covid in these communities should then sue the daylights out of him.

Hang in there, buddy. You’ll catch up to NYs death toll soon. You’re right on track. Monster.

Ah yes, another Republican who surely screeches about government overreach doing this...

I'm wondering how much of a bounty Putin put on our heads. How much is Kemp being paid per COVID death?

Clearly politics ahead of public welfare.

exec order worthless

Pro life party sure doesn't mind if you die!

GovKemp please use some common sense and logic. Look around you, look at the businesses shuttered and people trapped in their homes. We need common sense leadership!! COVID19

buddy a farmer can’t really be surprised

Next they will be ordering people to get into cattle cars. Just wait. The GOP appear to want the virus to spread.

Killing off the very people who would vote for you is a bold strategy.

So why do the libs always think that conservatives act like dictators? That couldn’t be further from the truth

crampell republicanism = sadism. COVID-19 = TheRedDeath

Why? WHY are these F-ers trying to outright kill Americans? There's more to this than 'freedumb.'

the fact that Stacey should be our governor but instead we got this asshole who doesn’t give a damn about governing.

ENTIRE STATE OF GEORGIA RN:

Funny how people who scream the loudest about 'The Federal Government is too big' and 'Politicians in Washington don't know what's best for our state' are always the first ones to impose their rules on local city governments.

Republicans are killing people.

When he KNOWS it's proven to help reduce transmission. I wonder if I could walk into his office without one?

Brain Kemp is murdering Georgian

Anyone else reminded of this by Kemp? He even looks like Chip Dillon.

Maybe all those Trump cultists were right and Agenda 21 is a thing. Unfortunately for them, they're the ones supporting it.

the south will fall again

Good

Well they did vote for across the board incompetence & corruption & that’s exactly what they’re getting. Elections have consequences & tragically this is theirs...
