Top GOP adviser denounces Georgia's Brian Kemp: 'He cheated & undermined democracy every step of the

A top Republican adviser denounced Georgia’s governor-elect Brian Kemp as a “hack” who stole the election.

John Weaver, a political strategist for former president George H.W. Bush and a presidential campaign adviser to the late John McCain, now works for Ohio’s Republican Gov. John Kasich — and he didn’t mince words when it came to Kemp

A publication that aims to flesh out an “intellectual” defense of the president’s worldview, the site currently features banner ads imploring readers to buy former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka’s new book. It recently published a defense of blackface and a column on why it is “impossible to overstate” the damage that “left-wing Jews” are doing to America.

The biggest reason Martha McSally lost is the same reason Republicans lost control of the House,” Olsen writes. “Across the nation, moderate college-educated independents who had frequently backed Republicans in prior elections switched sides.”...

I've been reading that Claire needs the Black vote, I hope she can get it.
