Showing Original Post only (View all)Gov Kemp WILL NOT approve a commission to remove Fani Willis as DA. [View all]
Kemp said the following: "I have not seen any evidence that DA Willis's actions or lack thereof warrant action by the prosecuting attorney oversight commission."
He specifically addressed Senator Colton Moore's warning of a "civil war" if they don't remove Willis:
"There have been calls by one individual in the General Assembly and that got outside of these walls by the former president for a special session that would ignore current GA law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government."
"In Georgia, we will not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment. We will do what is right .. We need to be honest with people about what we're dealing with an not inciting people .. we have to be very careful when you're in power ... not to abuse that power."

We disagree with everything he stands for, and surely he disagrees with all but (R)'s

He deserves as much credit as Pence does for what he did. Nothing more. This is not a hero.

He didn't want "to do the right thing" when he disenfranchised 30,000+ votes to keep Stacey Abrams

I would think that Colton Moore does not have standing to request her removal.
