Georgia's Republican governor is withdrawing a lawsuit he filed against Atlanta's Democratic mayor and City Council in an effort to block restrictions the city put in place to fight the coronavirus, including a citywide mask mandate

Washington Georgia's Republican governor is withdrawing a lawsuit he filed against Atlanta's Democratic mayor and City Council in an effort to block restrictions the city put in place to fight the coronavirus, including a citywide mask mandate.

"In light of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms' concession regarding the city's Phase One roll-back plan and following her refusal in mediation to further negotiate a compromise, the Attorney General's Office has filed to withdraw our pending lawsuit," Gov. Brian Kemp said in a statement Thursday, adding he will instead address the issue in a new executive order this coming Saturday.

Kemp why haven't you told unemployment to assist with the additional $300. All the other states gave to the unemployment. What I'm j to do with $158 weekly. KeishaBottoms staceyabrams TheDemocrats JoeBiden

Kemp’s an idiot.

Makes sense anyway you look at it.

Alanta mayor has that little girls blood on her hands.we the people no yall dont care about the little girl who was murdered in cold blood by the anarchy blm.

Nothing happening here....

democratsareimmoral trying to make it more difficult for Atlanta businesses CNN Communist news network provided to you by the CCP Communist Chinese party. The party that gave us the coronavirus

The Georgia Gov. closed the state late, opened the state early while incompetently reviewing the wrong CDC Covid data in this reopening decision. All while refusing & suing over a mask mandate. This Gov. sided his political alliance with Trump over the health of Georgians. GOP

SaveOurChildren

Phuker thought that he could use his white privilege in court to defeat another black woman this time he knows he will lose so he backs down amazing congratulations Atlanta keep up the good work Keisha

Maybe Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp saw the light and realized he was riding the wrong horse. The Trump Republican party is on the wrong side of American history.

Because going to court would've brought up his miss handling and the lies of the coronavirus spreading

The Schools in Georgia are not 'hot spots' so his lawsuit is shot out of the water. If he was to continue it would've only proven Mayor Lance's case for restrictions.

Kemp has to go.

Best side eye ever

I love her wish she would have been VP

A loser and a coward. Glad the mayor never buckled in the face of blatant sexism and stupidity.

Kemp is the Georgia COVIDIOT following covidiotinchief

WHERE THE F*CK ARE YOU ON THIS

Withdraw the law suit against Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms....wasting time and money.

yes because half the state is infected with COVID

BUT NOTHING ABOUT THE CANNON HINNANT MURDER

ElleSharyll Thats because Kemp knows he doesn't have leg to stand on & Mrs. Bottoms will not back down! She will win!

Why? Is he sick? Or did his lawyer school him?

Just shows you how the GOP are a bunch of Dumbasses! How the hell do you want to stand against a virus on just “being American and your rights not to wear a mask” SO STUPID! All so stupid 🤣

He knew it had no merit. He needs to be defeated on 2022.

CannonHinnant

Good for BrianKempGA , maybe he didnt want to embarrass himself and his family any further just to make his dear leader happy.

Ahhh, your temper tantrum didnt work BrianKempGA....

That was a total waste of time and energy for all involved and it redirected a significant amount of money that could have helped people during a pandemic. But never mind BrianKempGA GovKemp

Anything on this CNN

Cannon Hinnant SayHisName

It’s a shame in this country, that you don’t have to pay any attorney fees

Too late!! Damage done!!

you corrupted media why are not covering the murder of the Cannon baby killed by a dude?

'...adding he will instead address the issue in a new executive order this coming Saturday.' OH GREAT.

He knew he'd never win and KeishaBottoms has time! She's way smarter than him.

Republican Governor Kemp knew he couldn’t win a virus lawsuit. He was just being a Trump puppet wimp. Wise up- Georgia is falling apart. Open schools- close schools... The virus is still here!

Why are you not reporting about the black man that shot the 5 year old boy? Say his name!!!

As a (former) republican, it is sad to see the republicans use just about any method they can devise to get what they want. It's like a group of spoiled children who can't take no for an answer, except with lawyers who've sold their soul.

Reality kicked in

What a total embarrassment Kemp is! The mayor is trying to save millions of lives! You were willing to kill millions of lives! What was your point in the first place filling a lawsuit? For what? I bet you feel real stupid considering all of the Covid in your city!!🤨😷mask up

Waste of time and taxpayer money. Shame on him.

WearAMask

Well let me see would he have done this out of not liking women. Or hate the state of Atlanta. Or the other elephant in the room........her power. Her colour, let me know the answear

KeishaBottoms Will never understand why he filed it in the first place. What an ignorant and arrogant piece of work🤨 Obviously, the Mayor is trying to save lives and the Governor doesn't give a dayum🤔 StaceyAbramsTriedToTellYall GeorgiaYouAreInTroubleGirl

Governor Kemp's oops, I did another stupid thing.

CannonHinnant

What a goddamn idiot!! How much did this cost the taxpayers

Brian Kemp:

Bottoms could finally compromise now that she is out of the VP picture. Hopefully she falls into obscurity and is able to bring security back to the city she has abandoned
