#Georgia #Election #2020
He has the responsibility to testify if not for the sake of the constitution at least for the truth, otherwise he is just as corrupt as all republicans.
Well let’s hope they don’t get away with that.
Laws, morals, ethics, and values all apply differently for them and us. It’s all evolving backwards to the days of Lords and peasants or has it ever really changed except surface level. Greed and power is what drives most politicians. Very few are in the game to make a difference and those people should be in a third party. The Reality party.😂 The rest of these political “representatives” need a wake up call. You must abide by the law regardless of your net worth, social status, and who you align with. You are NOT above the law. But how do we go about finding honest people to enforce this? Sadly, it’s a crap shoot with very low odds of winning so they keep getting away with manipulating the laws over and over.✌🏻💙🆓
Republicans don’t mind handing subpoenas out, they just hate receiving them.
Hasn’t the governor ever heard of multitasking? What BS that he can’t testify before the elections!
So much for republicans being about law & order
So in GA the Administrative can interfere with the operations of the Judicial just because of a partisan Governor. Wow it is like the Southern stereotype movies !
How can he defend the indefensible? Morally he has no choice. All he has to say is yes, they asked me to throw away legitimate votes which is what happened according to his own words.
V O T E . B L U E ✨ ✨ ✨
R O E V E M B E R ✨ ✨ IS NEAR! 💙
Seriously, anyone considering voting republican, please just watch this guilty as f$%# clown in a suit slither his best to avoid going near the truth of what he did. This is sickening. Vote Democrat.
Yea, we can see how the quality of everyone’s life has improved with skyrocketing gas prices, highest inflation since the eighties, millions pouring over the southern border bankrupting social services, forced experimental jabs or you lose your job, forced masking, sending 40 plus billion to Ukraine when that money could have been used to help struggling Americans at home, crime at an all time high in blue cities etc.etc.
Kemp is dancing the “GOP is above the law” dance and stepping on toes. The criminal wants to delay the proceeding until after people decide to give him power and wants the questions ahead of time. W T F ?!?!?
This is how Republicans now function—not as law abiders or law defenders but law obstructionists. If it potentially affects them they don’t want to know about it. So much for the rule of law.
Who woulda thunk that the party of Law and Order were the actual ones against Law and Order.
Dream on Kemp.
Fani does not give two hoots who you are. The Law is the Law. Comply. IF you have nothing to hide, there should be no problems. But, I take it, you do have alot to hide.
I wonder if executive privilege will help all these sinners on judgement day.
At least let me testify after the election – who’s politicizing this now, Kemp?
How many Republican politicians have ever been polygraphed?? No, seriously.
Govenor you are making a silly excuse. Just fulfill your civic duty sir.
If he plans to testify truthfully why does he need to be prepped?
Wow, the quality of brainwashing is astounding. Questions were being asked that were valid. Why would anyone not want to know if and election was completely free of question. Seems like the guilty are winning in this country. Main stream media are also complicit. Anchor said they came to Georgia and lied. Where is the evidence of that? No justice in America with liers in charge. Good luck Georgia. The infection runs deep.
WTF Does he have to hide ? Also WTF Does Lindsey have to hide ? 🤣
Sad, Republicans do not know the difference between Crime and Politics..
Stop with the whole ” Its Political” of course it is a group of people tried to stop the peacefully transition of 1 administration to the next, how is it not Political? Who cares how close it is to an election, we have them every 2 years and these cases take a while. The party of Law and Order needs to stop whining and do as they tell us common folk to do, follow the law, and have your day in court.
Do not allow the DEMONIC CRIMINALS TO GET THE SUBPOENA QUASHED……..CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY SHOULD BE TESTIFIED ABOUT….
Another Trumpublican trying to get away with more crime. This country will never be the same.
That’s a lot of nerve wanting to know the question before you want to be interviewed for a crime that’s like that’s like the picture telling the batter I’m throwing you all curve balls . THESE PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALS ⁉️
We have an election every two years and I’m sick of saying that the next election is any reason to not charge someone if anything it’s MORE of a reason to. I don’t care which party if they committed a crime treat them like anyone else
So Brian, dosent think he has to be responsible for his behavior Wow!!!
Neither did British Petroleum on March 23 2005 when there Oil Refinery in Texas City killed all kinds of folk.
BP payed off some folks no jail time for anyone, just like Brian is going to do.
I guess this is the Defnition of White Privillage?
Must be nice not to be responsible for you’re behavior, but claim some kinda of Moral Majority at the same time with the Republican Party.
The Hypocrisy is beyond mind blowing.
It’s just so Fox News Like, lie for profit and that doesn’t work lie again, and again, and again 🤮 add a wedge issue and some fear🙃
Either show up. Or forfeit your job. 🤷
The political argument is another way of saying witch hunt, not real merit to the argument.
I watched the judge … he’s not gonna quash sh!t.
A governor doesn’t have to testify about a crime he was witness to? Wow!
Republicans don’t need any special treatment
US Right Wingers dodging the truth while running and hiding under their mamas’ skirts?!? Perish the thought.
Notice everyone of these disgusting traitors never say go ahead and investigate. They always just try and stop the probe and start crying on FOX.
Vile treasonous slime.
Kemp is involved in total corruption…we all know it.
Kemp wants time in a Federal Prison.
Sure Bob, any other request?
As a government employee, he should be required to testify. As part of his employment.
whats there to hide? why delay it?
KEMP IS A “CROOK”❗️❗️❗️❗️
Everthing the Republican party do is for their own self gain. What has the Republican party done for you, what is the Republican party offering you and your families future. The Republican party are a pack of criminals, drenched in white-collar crime, you scratch my back I scratch your back, make 2 billion dollars worth of masks scenario, I’ll be your doner. Respect your president Joseph Biden, look what he has done in 24months for everyone and the country’s future. At every turn the Republican party have voted against everything. Time is running out to try and rectify an American bright future. No more chances the time is now. Vote Blue In 22 🙏💙🇺🇸🙏
Even with war added to Benedict Brandon’s long list of failures, his voters still justify and support his spineless incompetence.
The crying game 🎮😢😭💔😪🤧 is there is no word about Going Places the tv show that lasted only episodes from to on ABC on Friday night part of TGIF and it was on at 930pm. Delvin Wilder the actor and Jennette Armond the actress from Zombies of Mass Destruction have not been signed by the tv show Going Places reboot.
Who woulda thunk Republicans could descend to a level of two-bit criminal!
The reason it’s so close to the election is bc the repugs keep trying to have it delayed w/frivolous motions/arguments. If they don’t like the timing, it’s on them. Nothing to hide? Testify!
Republicans have lost all credibility. This is the new standard when a politician is subpoenaed . Democrats should remrmber this when Republicans are in control … just day NO. Funny that Hillary testified for 11 hours and sat there while Republicans screamed and attacked her personally, but Republicans refuse to even show up. We know who the cowards are.
Kemp Is very much a conspirator in this case what is tragic truly tragic is that MSNBC CNN and all the rest report on the same thing on each and every one of his shows each and every day and the only scripted they report on is the one given to them by the Republicans they don’t report on how Bad a job the judicial system is doing they don’t report on Biden not having anything to say about anything that’s worthy hey the only time Democrats complain is when Democrats are in office and guess what I complain against the Democrats which one and the Republicans had the power where was the voices where was the Democrat voices then they say nothing until the Democrats get in office and then they’re only thing is to complain where is the media should be reporting on all of this where are you at MSNBC and the rest of you change some of your shows to report onOther things
Vote Kemp out of office and put a Democrat in.
why would an elected public servant want to serve the public with the truth?
One more thing you should change your format to the host of the show having a bit more time to say something in some type of commentary before they rush to put on their guest. I don’t know I just know for a fact that you have better producers than the ones that are produced in Diso warehouse is it that you’re just trying to keep the American public dumb to have the facts
Why doesn’t Brian Kemp as for open answer SAT test?
It is time to end the ‘politicized’ and ‘it is too close the the elections’ BS. What wee need to to expose all these traitors prior to the election. Then, even if people vote for the traitors ,it will be plain to see how many traitors support them verses support for true patriots of our democracy. The traitors will have no excuses for their actions such as ‘ I didn’t know how corrupt < fill in the republi-clown candidates name here> was”
So Democrats are still supposed to play by rules that Republicans don’t?
KEMP, GRAHAM, TRUMP, AND MORE QTE GUILTY IF TREASON THATS WHY GHEY REFUSE YO FOLLOW THE LAW. GIVE THEM ALL THE OK SB AS LTY FOR TREASON GTG THAT TRUMP PUSHED. The entire Republucan Party is corrupt, evil, immoral and working against the USA. Crooks everyone if them.
I’m confused
He has been subpoena to the grand jury to answer questions !
He is not being sued or under a indictment
Please help DAs?
Party over Country 100%. Kemp is sick man.
Kemp placed himself into the interference of voting in 2020, now he should answer for why he did it.
Prepped… Since when do you need to be prepped to tell the truth?
Sounds like the governor doesn’t want to be under oath.bwonder why?
Well, I hope to win the lottery and buy a unicorn 🦄 farm. Can’t believe how many cry babies there are simultaneously bawling about crimes they claim they haven’t committed and wasting taxpayers money on frivolous lawsuits just trying to run the clocks. Throw in the lying and idiotic rhetoric coming from TFG and we could have ourselves a war over a Baby Hewey. Seriously? 😒 Some people have limited resources of brain cells to rub together so they’re unable to realize Trump gives 0 F’s about them or this country as a whole. Republicans don’t have any policies but two : Destroy everything the Democrats have accomplished and insert complete authoritarian dictatorship. Fascism is coming to a town near you if you don’t 🗳💙.
I can agree that it is close to the election, but when you crime, you should think about that in advance. The old saying still holds true! Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
he will get whatever he wants ..jist like any other rich white politician…
So let me get this straight…he came clean about Trump..had his life threatened and now DOESN’T want to do his AMERICAN duty!! Screw your election!! Why do these aholes get to pass on what the rest of us don’t have a choice to pass on!!
These people are scum.
Of course he’s contesting the subpoena, he’s up for re-election and if he testifys he has only three options perjury, plead the fifth or hang trump out to dry .
Option three he loses the election , option one he loses his freedom and option two he just looks mobbed up.
We can only wish him the worst and offer him some recycled thoughts and prayers , it’s easier than hoping he’ll do the right thing.
If it’s that difficult for him to walk and chew gum at the same time maybe he shouldn’t be in such a position to run the state.
Surely it in the public’s interest to be fully informed before any elections take place, whether the governor or any candidate was involved in something unethical or criminal. Too late to find out later.
So close to elections? Fun GOP have no problems stealing Surpreme or Justice’s to get what they want! Blue 🌊 is coming, get rid of the criminals which are GOP they helped to attack our country and help Trumpty Dumpty stage a Coup! Ridiculous they don’t want to held accountable but karma is coming one by one!
Complicit and redneck …
Kemp wants to know what questions he’s going to be asked so he can fabricate a defense and not purger himself. What could be wrong with that?
It’s always close to an election. The weasels need to be put in the seat and sworn in.
F his cheating a**.
Republicans, the party of law and order. All they want to do is break the law.
Brian Kemp Corruption!
Seriously, what is wrong with Republicans, they seem to hate humanity… even themselves.
Republicans trying to wriggle out of taking responsibility for their actions
The party of law and order – laws for thee but not for me.
Here we go yet again, Stacey Abrams must have went on a diet for this
The majority of Americans have had enough
Governor Kemp just needs to man up and answer the questions truthfully ! Stop trying to avoid and hold up the investigation it’s that simple unless Governor Kemp has something to hide ?
Dude,you recorded the phone call!!!!
Republican party are nothing but a bunch of criminals these people have taken advantage of United States system for years they’re finally exposed and charged as criminals are
FASCIST ; PUTIN , TRUMP , KKK , NEO-NAZIS , MAGA , NRA , JIM CROW , JIM JONES , FOX .
VOTE BLUE..
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39:
Every subpoena should be served.
Republicans despise democracy.
Going forward accept no plea bargains for anything. 2% of cases go to trial. Change that, we grind the system to a halt. Juries move to nullify wherever a law hurts our honest or oppressed. Know and enforce your rights and the rights of others. That’s how we #StoptheGlobalists
When all of Tweety’s legal defenses fail, he will have his tried & true to fall back on: “Hillary sent e-mails!” “Hunter Biden has a laptop!” “What about Obama!” Argue with that, I dare you.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Look dammit: Either we all comply to a subpoena or none of us comply to a subpoena. I’m sick of all this corrupt lawyer crap. That’s why I don’t vote for lawyers or crazy doctors running for political office.
Are republicans afraid to tell the truth? More and more are pleading the 5th or fighting subpoena’s.
Maggatt why are they so afraid?
“Executive Privilege” needs to be repealed/revoked across the spectrum. No one should be immune to or exempt from legal consequences for committing a crime.
F all that them mfs need to stop bullshittin and get back to The Ice Cube’s Contract with Black America and The President Trump Platinum Plan including the Schools Choice vouchers or don’t pass nonthing at all
“I shouldn’t have to testify… aaaaaagh 😢” ” I, I, I plead the 5th… aaaaaagh 😭” “Uh, uh, Political witch hunt… aaaaaagh”. “I, I, I want my Mommy… waaaaaagh” 👶🍼 G. D. REPUBLICAN CROOKS !!!
Why they fight so hard to not tell the truth 🤦🏽♂️
This is disturbing
Last-ditch to win the election. Do not fall into it.
