Georgia governor warns state lawmakers they cannot choose Trump electors
By Zack Budryk - 12/08/20 08:47 AM EST

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Monday warned state lawmakers that they cannot appoint pro-Trump presidential electors.

Kemp said while speaking at the Biennial Institute for Georgia Legislators that legislators appointing their own electors was “not an option.”

“You all will be taking an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of our state and now, more than ever, it is important to remember that thousands of brave men and women have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those laws, that constitution and all that they protect,” Kemp said, according to USA Today.


“I’m confident that each of you will live up to the words and greater calling regardless of political consequences. That’s what I’ve been doing,” he added.

Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans, have been singled out for condemnation by the Trump administration over their refusal to overturn the results of the presidential election in the Peach State. The state certified its election results last week following a hand audit and recount of ballots.

Gov. Kemp was cravenly accused by Stacey Abrams of stealing an election for the Republicans.   And now the Trumpsters are cravenly accusing Gov. Kemp of stealing this election for the Democrats.

You know a man by his enemies.  Kemp's got the "best".   I admire the heck out of Brian Kemp.

Whipsaw hypocrisy;  “You all will be taking an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of our state and now....
Do you believe after allowing illegal voting to occur and legitimizing it, Georgia officials demand strict compliance of the laws and obligations of duty when it comes to supporting the lawlessness of the election ?

@Right_in_Virginia

I suspect with many of them they don't really have any choice because they are being blackmailed,and are backed into a corner.

Not that I feel sorry for them. I don't. They are in that position because they "sold" there office for gain or privileges. Bleep them and the donkeys that rode in on them.

He has no power to control the state legislators whatsoever other than to call a special session.

And that is one single thing he has chosen to not do.

democrats have made it publicly clear, the Constitution isn't good enough for what they have in mind for America.  Dictators is very much what they have in mind, and being owned by Soros goes without saying.  The Bible tells you, the anti-Christ is very impatient.  (In a very big hurry to accomplish humanities demise)  This is the End Times, and slaughter will commence in the near future, global society collapse first.

After all,the movers and shakers behind globalism don't hesitate to modestly admit that it is the answer to all of humanity's problems,and that they stand ready and able to manage us like the unruly children that we are?

Kemp is following the footsteps of former Governor Eugene Talmadge.  Here's his statue at the Capitol with his hand firmly on the bribes in his pocket.

You admire a man who took kickbacks from Dominion, Facebook, allowed his Secretary of State to subvert the law regarding mail-in voting, refused to release video surveillance of mail-in collection points in violation of Georgia law, and still to this day refuses to have Dominion voting machines re-certified after software changes were made in October, also a violation of Georgia law, and who refuses to enforce signature checks for absentee ballots as required by law.

Plus who refuses to call for a special election.

And does anybody believe this quote?

“Nobody’s fought harder for this president than me up to Nov. 3, and no one has supported him as much as I have after the election with the legal rights that he has to contest the election,” Kemp said.

Only thing is...there's a little thing called the Constitution that says he can't tell the lawmakers what to do when it comes to choosing electors.

That's the state congressional body's business...not his.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Kemp has had the knife out for Trump ever sine the President questioned his Senate choice for completing Isakson's term.  Kemp is a petty man.

Our forefathers dealt in morality and Christianity and built a nation the envy of the world in freedom and prosperity.  Our socialist opponents subverted many nations of the world promising easy riches and power seducing them with utopias delivering  tyrannys that have been the most ghastly oppressors of mankind the world has known.  Socialist liars and deceivers; Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol pot, whose answer is severe oppression, desolation of nations, freedom little more than a distant dream.  Ruling unruly children promises while they foment, feed and instigate rebellion, perversions, molestation's, and even human sacrifice-slaughter by force or deception-abortion.  If you can't/don't know the difference, why are you trying to discuss them here ?  The choices are already clear enough for even dullards.  A Victim of public socialist twisted and distorted education?

@christian

Only a clueless fool would believe anybody that promises they are going to give everything to everybody,and it's not going to cost anybody anything "except for the rich,who will pay for it all".

After all,it is the rich who control the political parties.

Who REALLY thinks THEY are going to give up THEIR wealth and privilege's in order to provide new cars and mansions for the professional welfare classes?

What they WILL provide is full employment via labor camps.

Which I suspect is NOT what their supporters are voting for.

My brother informed me that people have actually been murdered in Georgia because of their wanting to better investigate voter fraud.  A car bomb was involved in one such incident that utterly destroyed the vehicle.  Odd the media is loathe to acknowledge it. eh ?

Quote
December 5, 2020 An apparent car crash in Georgia – kills Harrison Deal. He was a staffer for Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler. Harrison Deal was also dating Gov Kemp’s daughter.

As the DNC has gotten in bed with leftist radicals pre-election and election, our elections are now violent, complete with the murders of people that get in the way of the results the leftist demand.  Again, the media does its best to cover for the thug terrorism coupe/rebellion the democrats have gotten in bed with.
 As democrats HAVE told you MANY times, ONLY THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO RULE.  tHE MURDER OF PEOPLE THAT GET IN THE WAY, ACCEPTABLE LOSSES. 
Rioting or car bombings or outright murder.

I'm not suggesting Gov.  Kemp should tell lawmakers what to do.   I'm just saying he's right in saying they shouldn't act stupid. 

This is not about saving the Republic and the Constitution.    This is about indulging the fantasies of Donald Trump and cheering on the chaos he represents    If you care about saving the Republic,  then call for a united and mighty GOP effort to elect two Senators in Georgia.    The GOP is not doomed,  it mostly kicked butt in this election.  Take a look see at who's going to oversee the next census.

Of course I support Gov.  Kemp.    He has his eye on the prize.    Trump is not about saving the Constitution or even his own legacy.   He is channeling the doomed Captain Ahab. From hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!

And more to the point,  he is willing to upset this nation's tradition of a peaceful transition of power in accordance with the peoples' verdict.    That's the Constitutional principle I am willing to fight for.    Don't force the rest of us down into your private hell,  Mr. President.

Still in denial, I see.  Yet again, Jazzhead, how do you expect the GOP to win either seat considering the amount of fraud and illegalities that are taking place?  There are around 1.25 million people registered to vote in Georgia that are ineligible.  Guess who every one of those 1.25 million will be voting for?
