Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks Kemp, threatens a Senate run, and fishes for Trump's VP
On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene brought out her abrasive and disgraceful brand to talk about Republican Gov. Brian Kemp. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that when asked about Kemp’s statements contradicting Donald Trump’s post-indictment claims of election fraud in Georgia, Greene called the statement “bad,” saying, “His message should have been against this, not arguing with President Trump about the election and making it about his own ego and pride over Georgia’s election.”
Greene’s response came after Kemp’s very public rejection of newly Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act-indicted Trump’s claims of massive election fraud in Georgia. Kemp had posted a screenshot of Trump’s claim that he had a “CONCLUSIVE” report that would “EXONERATE” the 2020 election loser. Kemp wrote that the 2020 election in Georgia was “not stolen,” adding, “for nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward - under oath - and prove anything in a court of law.”
Kemp is term-limited and many believe he will run for Senate in 2026. Greene’s statement provoked followup questions about what her possible future plans might be. Asked if she would consider primarying Kemp, Greene answered, “I haven’t made up my mind whether I will do that or not. I have a lot of things to think about.” Greene went on to float this gem: “Am I going to be a part of President Trump’s Cabinet if he wins? Is it possible that I’ll be VP?”
