Kemp: “There have been calls by one individual in the General Assembly and that got outside of these walls by the former president for a special session that would ignore current GA law and directly interfere with the proceedings of a separate but equal branch of government.”
BREAKING: Gov. Kemp: “Up to this point, I have not seen any evidence that DA Willis's actions or lack thereof warrant action by the prosecuting attorney oversight commission.” #gapol
“In my mind, a special session of the General Assembly to end run around this law is not feasible and may ultimately prove to be unconstitutional.”
More Kemp: “In Georgia, we will not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment. We will do what is right. We will uphold our oath as public servants and it's my belief that our state will be better off for it.”
Kemp says he’s gonna focus on things like cutting taxes, teacher pay raises, etc. “not focusing on the past or some grifter scam that somebody's doing to help them raise a few dollars into the campaign account” #gapol
“We just need to be honest with people about what we're what we're dealing with and not inciting people… we have to be very careful when you're in power, in government, not to abuse that power, because if you do you set the precedent for the other side.”
Kemp says he hasn't spoken with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones about these calls (Jones is president of the Senate and an unindicted co-conspirator in the indictment) but did text with Speaker Burns about it (Burns sent a letter to the House GOP caucus shooting down the calls)
(also how long before someone uses this to write another 'kemp for president' piece)
