Kemp compared Trump's candidacy to a football team that lost despite holding a fourth-quarter lead.

"You know, you get complacent, you get into prevent defense, you try to start spinning all this stuff instead of just simply answering the tough questions like everybody else behind us is gonna do tonight," he said. "Because you know damn well there's gonna be some tough questions."

"I can't wait to hear what Ron, Vivek, Nikki, Tim, Doug, Mike, Asa and Chris have to say!"

Nothing says love like a gallows, broken windows, and shit smeared on the wall.

"Jan. 6 was a very interesting day because they don’t report it properly,” he told Carlson in the previously recorded interview, which was posted Wednesday night on X, the website formerly known as Twitter. “People in that crowd said it was the most beautiful day they ever experienced. There was love and unity. I have never seen such spirit and such passion and such love. And I’ve also never seen, simultaneously and from the same people, such hatred at what they’ve done to our country.”
