Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp recently fired back at former President Donald Trump’s “petty personal insults” regarding his claims of election fraud in the state in a social media response to Trump’s earlier remarks via Mediaite.
It has been noted on Saturday, the GOP nominee wrote on Truth Social that Georgia Secretary of State “Brad Raffensperger has to do his job, and make sure this Election is not stolen,” while adding that Kemp “should focus his efforts on fighting Crime, not fighting Unity and the Republican Party!”
Famously, Trump slammed the a couple of Georgia state officials over his claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged in the state. As president, Trump had a phone call with Raffensperger where he pressured Georgia’s secretary of state to change the state’s election results.
In Saturday’s Truth Social post, Trump also went after Kemp’s wife claiming that they are responsible for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis prosecuting him.
Trump added, “He and his wife didn’t think he could win. I said, ‘I’m telling you you’re going to win.’ Then he won, he was happy, and his wife said, ‘Thank you Sir, we’ll never be able to make it up to you!’ Now she says she won’t Endorse me, and is going to ‘write in Brian Kemp’s name.’ Well, I don’t want her Endorsement, and I don’t want his.”
Kemp responded by issuing Trump a very clear warning to not go after his family again.
“My focus is on winning this November and saving our country from Kamala Harris and the Democrats – not engaging in petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past,” Kemp wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
The governor added, “You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of it.”
