Genuinely surprised that people aren't tying this to Jack Smith brief.

"Days after Jack Smith reminded how Trump sicced a mob on Brian Kemp with repeated attacks on GA's popular governor, the two will be in the same place at same time."

Donald Trump and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp will appear together today for the first time since before the 2020 election.

Here's just one section of the Jack Smith filing describing Trump's attacks on Brian Kemp. Seems pretty newsworthy that prosecutors are pointing to his attacks as evidence he tried to steal the election?

Also note: Trump is arguing that it was part of his duties as President of the United States to make vicious attacks on Twitter against members of his own party who crossed him.

Brian Kemp is another spineless Repug.

1. Another profile in cowardice

Republicans don’t seem to care if TSF personally attacks them, their spouses or anything he does. Power, baby!
