Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has time and again incurred the wrath of defeated, former President Donald Trump where it concerns the results of the 2020 election in the Peach State.
Yet Kemp will endorse the former President when he becomes the GOP nominee for the third time.
In an interview with Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution over the weekend, Kemp said:
Despite all of that, despite all of his other trials and tribulations, he would still be a lot better than Biden. And the people serving in the administration would be a lot better than Joe Biden.
And it has nothing to do with being a coward. It has everything to do with winning and reversing the ridiculous, obscene positions of Joe Biden and this administration that literally, in a lot of ways, are destroying our country.
On the contrary, it has everything to do with cowardice. Kemp is no different from nearly all the Republican presidential hopefuls who raised their hands and said they would support Trump if he was the nominee at last month's GOP debate in Wisconsin including former Vice-President Mike Pence who if Trump supporters at the U.S. Capitol had their way would have been strung up by his neck. A fate which, by the way, Trump thought Pence deserved. So, if Pence is willing to support Trump despite the fact Trump agreed with the mob which he incited to attack the U.S. Capitol, then why should Kemp be any different than any other Republican? Kemp is yet another GOP quisling.
Now that Kemp has given Trump his blessing it is well worth posing these questions.
For starters, how exactly does Kemp think Trump would be a lot better than Biden?
Is Kemp down with executing generals as Trump is with outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley? If this is what Trump thinks ought to happen to the people who serve in his administration, then what makes Kemp think any responsible adult would want to serve in a second Trump Administration? We'll be stuck with the Steve Bannons, Steve Millers, Seb Gorkas, Kash Patels and Corey Lewandowskis of the world.
Is Kemp on board with claiming TV networks like NBC and MSNBC are engaging in treason because they dare to disagree with the Holy Orange One and refuse to amplify his lies?
Does Kemp think terminating the Constitution is one of the things which makes Trump a lot better than Biden?
In view of the fact that Trump is on public record as being in favor of executing General Milley, accusing NBC and MSNBC of treason and terminating the Constitution, what makes Kemp think President Biden's positions are obscene much less destroying the country?
Governor Kemp cannot answer these questions because his proposition regarding President Biden is predicated on a false premise, and he knows it. Kemp is concerned not with the future of this country, but the future of his career.
In the words of Liz Cheney at the January 6th hearings in June 2022, "Tonight, I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain."
In endorsing Trump, Kemp has now adorned the cloak of dishonor and will never be able to take it off.
