ATLANTA – Georgia’s Gov. Brian Kemp has gassed up his pickup truck and grabbed his shotgun to battle an enemy laying waste to America: “cancel culture.”
The Gov these days is putting on his stern face and happily making the media circuit to say he’s furious that Major League Baseball nixed the All-Star Game in Cobb County. That happened, of course, after the state’s GOP legislators and Kemp tightened up election laws to help protect their shrinking margins.
Now, there are few things as infuriating – and worrisome – as the woke Twitter mob coming after you. But Kemp stands unafraid. And he is not going to waste any time looking a gift horse in the mouth, which is exactly what this is. A gift.
“Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola and Delta may be scared of Stacey Abrams and Joe Biden and the left, but I am not,” he said in a press conference last weekend after MLB’s announcement. Delta Air Lines and the Coca-Cola Co. had already come out against the law, yielding to pressure to do so.
And Kemp merrily made the rounds, especially on Fox News, using it as a golden moment to worm his way back into the Republican electorate’s heart, which is still unhappy with him for not being strong enough in the Stop The Steal movement.
