The GOP needs unity to win on January 5, but Trump’s still furious at Governor Brian Kemp for refusing to help him steal the 2020 election

If Republicans hold onto the seats of both David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, they will hold a 52-48 margin in the Senate and could maintain a choke hold on the new Biden administration’s Cabinet and judicial nominations, not to mention anything approaching a progressive legislative agenda.

The rocky relationship between Gov. Brian Kemp and Donald Trump hit a new low on Sunday when the president said he was “ashamed” that he endorsed the fellow Republican in a tight race for governor in 2018.“The governor has done nothing,” Trump said during a Fox News interview on his false claims of rampant voter fraud in Georgia. “He’s done absolutely nothing. I’m ashamed that I endorsed him.

The outpouring of anger has been one-sided: Each time Trump has swiped at the governor, he’s either declined to respond or turned to a common enemy, such as Democrats or the media. Still, state GOP officials say the president seems to have taken Kemp’s decision to sign off on the certification of the election as a personal betrayal.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Trump is trying to steal the election?

Win? They will gain lots of experience.

All his zealots, Trumpaloonies and Trumpateers are screaming RINO, and Boycott the Runoff Election, hehe. They better get on to Parler if they wanna reach their Tinfoil Hat, and Q-Nut Contingent, hehe. Better yet, don't.

Don Trump is not GOP. Not the GOP of the future! He was a one term accident.

Darn! Brian's just the guy to help Trump steal an election! What's up BrianKempGA ? Where's you mojo?

No quid pro quo for Kemp

No tears will be shed anywhere for GOP GOPChairwoman.

No honor among thieves.

Nobody wants to be around a loser. Trump will hemorrhage support when there’s no presidency to prop up his flimsy illusion of power.

TRUMP IMPEACHED AND DEFEATED
