Trump: 'I'm ashamed that I endorsed' Kemp in Georgia

[sabra]

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Sunday said he regretted endorsing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), taking a swipe at the top Republicans in the state ahead of two critical Senate runoff elections.

The president decried the use of Dominion Voting Systems machines in Georgia, which are the subject of unproven conspiracies among some conservatives. He placed blame at the feet of Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for approving the rules of the election.

"Everything has to be approved by the legislature, and they had judges making deals, and they had electoral officials making deals like this character in Georgia who’s a disaster," Trump said of Raffensperger, who has defended the integrity of the presidential election in Georgia, where President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump by just more than 12,000 votes.

"And the governor’s done nothing. He’s done absolutely nothing," Trump added of Kemp. "I’m ashamed that I endorsed him. But I look what’s going on. It's so terrible."

1. Lolz - Kemp who made himself Gov because he was the Sec of State head of his own election

Rigging machine.

2. Trump expected Kemp to do it for him also

but stacey Abrams was paying attention and working to prevent that shit as much as possible.

[fearnobush]

3. Trump also pissed because he cannot pardon anyone in any individual state for rigging this for him

Since it falls under the states authority not federal.

4. Impossible. Trump has no shame.

11. He's just a senile old man spouting conspiracy theories.

He's got to find some way to turn this overwhelming defeat into a win, so it's clear to him that the only way he would have lost is if there was fraud on the other side. He repeated that over and over again during the election. The sad thing is, there are 70 million people who agree with him.

The thing is that even cheating every way they could -- gerrymandering, scrubbing hundreds of thousands of Democrats from the voting rolls, screaming that there was voter fraud, bringing lawsuit after lawsuit only to be tossed out by irritated judges, gumming up poll watching with trivial challenges, passing voter I.D. laws, discouraging vote by mail, discouraging vote in person -- the Republicans still lost against a Democratic Party which played by the rules.

It must terrify the Republicans, knowing that they have used every dirty trick in the book and they still lost. Now they're on the last page and there's only one word: losers.

5. Donnie's right....don't support any Republican !!!

[tavernier]

6. I'm ashamed that the entire world is watching this cry baby.

It is so embarrassing. You just want to tell him to get up and stop shaming himself and the country. But I fully expect him to fall to the ground on his back, flail his arms around, stomp his feet and yell until he is purple.

7. Here's the thing Donald;

who gives a fuck who you endorsed?

[miss-nasty]

8. I usually cringe when I hear him but...

I’ve had to listen to this a dozen times. It makes my heart happy.

[bluestarone]

9. Will these RETHUGS ever learn that if you DO NOT bow to him

RUMP will treat you like the true SCUM you are!!!

[TNNurse]

10. When will Republicans learn

that unless they whore themselves with allegiance to Trump, he will attack???

It is all or nothing with him.

12. Today 1 of my friends said she knew of 2 "dead' who had voted;

3 other people who received ballots they didnt request. I asked for amy proof of it but she had none. Which i guess SHE wouldnt, but i told her i expected to see these people named in the court case. Because if they reported such a thing, it WOULD make news. I've seen NONE.

13. Anyone have a clue what he's talking abour?

Beyond waaa, waaa, I lost!?

[Hip2bSquare]

14. 250,000+ of our fellow Americans are dead...

and his endorsement of a loser is what brings him shame. My hatred of trump is real.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Donnie understands nothing but his own dominance

Everyone in the world should bend to suit him.

Ha ha. Everyone but him and his kids knows the world doesn't work that way.

[Rebl2]

16. Well guess

[flibbitygiblets]

the disingenuousness of his statement is just one tiny example

21. You just figured he'd kiss your ass and you were conned or deluded. Either way, LOSER.

22. Trump will run out of buses under which to throw people.

[Ilsa]

23. The in-fighting is priceless! We should encourage it at every chance.

Some Georgia republicans are going to write in Trump instead of voting for Loeffler to show support for him.
