Wednesday 11 May 2022 09:29 PM Donald Trump blasts 'RINO' governors backing incumbent Brian Kemp in Georgia trends now
Former President Donald Trump delivered a Wednesday broadside against Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia for his plans to campaign with current and former Republican governors, dismissing them all as 'Republicans in name only.'
The Republican primary, on May 24, has turned increasingly bitter as Trump seeks revenge against a governor who refused to go along with his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
But Trump's primary pick, former Sen. David Perdue, is struggling in a contest that has become a proxy battle for the former president with the GOP establishment.
Trump weighed in with statement blasting Kemp and saying that a victory for him would be a blow to 'election integrity.'
'Today, the worst "election integrity" governor in the country, Brian Kemp, loaded the great state of Georgia up with RINOs,' he said in an emailed statement.
'That's right, he had them all.
'Chris Christie, Doug Ducey from Arizona, and Pete Ricketts from Nebraska.
'That tells you all you need to know about what you are getting in Georgia — just a continuation of bad elections and a real RINO if you vote for Brian Kemp.'
