“Anyone who harms a law enforcement officer should be held fully accountable for their actions,” Gov. Kemp said, “and presidents should not issue blanket, preemptive pardons for their family members in the final minutes of their tenure.” #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/tru...
Forcing Biden to issue pardons to protect his family is not the same. I hate greed ruining everything. Every. Damned. Thing.
Greg can you confirm the governor was given ice for his shoulder following this statement
And Governors should not sign blanket laws for what Georgia women can do with their bodies!
I see Gov. Kemp is demonstrating the moral backbone of a jellyfish.
I am happy that our governor understands what is right. But now he needs to lead a team of action. The governor has had his family attacked and not done anything about it. Geogria needs to be leading this. Get to work governor.
Kemp is maneuvering for his next gig I see. There is no room where he is trying to go though on the GOP side.
I think he's got a good shot of beating Ossoff in '26. He certainly can't count on help from Trump, but he won in '22 without that already. We'll be working to keep Ossoff where he is, though.
I wouldn't be so sure he's going after the Senate. MTG wants it, and Trump will give her the chance. I think he is gonna keep his powder dry and return in 32 for prez.
He's a whip smart pol, and he knows pissing off Trump won't affect him anymore. He wants the big job. Not too mention 26 week be a bad GOP year, just didn't know how bad
*Will be a bad year
There should be limits on pardons, either in number or timing or severity of the crime. Both Biden and Trump took it too far.
Under the changed circumstances of our current criminal President, I think Biden finally recognized that the norms and laws would not hold, and acted appropriately to help his family. It's too bad he didn't get it four years ago, when it might have helped ALL of us.
Shouldn’t have to blanket pardon his family and government employees as protection from the next admin!! But here we are.
...and presidents should not BE FORCED TO HAVE TO issue blanket pardons for their family BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ELECTED A DICTATOR..." FIXED IT BRIAN!
What a clown 'both sides' from a far right winger, Brian.
Are Republicans genetically incapable of disagreeing with Trump without, at the same time, bashing Democrats in the same communication?
Be fair, now - most of them are incapable of disagreeing with Trump under ANY circumstances. Our election-stealing, worker-betraying, racist governor is a paragon of virtue by the standards of his fellow Republicans.
Ah yes, the famous "both sides" defense
And Governors should not sign laws to restrict voting.
And secretaries of state should resign when they’re running for governor.
