'People would kill for him': Anti-MAGA voters describe life in America's Trumpiest county

More than 90 percent of voters in Brantley County, Georgia, backed Donald Trump in 2020, making it the most reliably pro-Trump county in the six battleground states — and likely the country, CNN reported Monday.

But that's not to say there aren't some holdouts who refuse to vote for the Republican nominee. They spoke to CNN during a visit to report on the staunchly conservative county in southeast Georgia.

“I ain’t going to vote for a criminal,” said Corbet Wilson, an independent.

He said the Jan. 6 insurrection should have been a disqualifier, and his friend Donald Lewis agreed.

“He’s anti-American," Lewis said. "He’s trying to overthrow our government."

The pair joined their Trump-backing friends and neighbors at the Gold House diner in Nahunta, and while the talk was amicable they were mystified by the level of support the Republican nominee enjoyed.

"People would kill for him, I think,” Wilson said. “I don’t understand it. I don’t even try.”

“They can vote any way they want to vote,” Wilson said, and conservative pal David Herrin chimed in: “And we’ll still eat breakfast again.”

The Trump fans weren't impressed by Kamala Harris' proposals for improving the economy, especially her plan to change the tax code so wealthier people would pay more to go toward education and health care, and they were suspicious of the big jobs report last month.

"Government numbers,” said Bill Middleton, a retired union boilermaker.

Herrin didn't believe President Joe Biden or anyone in his administration deserves credit for the improved economy.

“You can’t take that and give credit to Washington, D.C.," Herrin said. "You give credit for that to the American people that go to work every day, even when they down, even when it’s against them, even when it then when it’s going uphill. We get up and we continue to work, we continue to fight, and we’ve made this country better. Ain’t nobody in Washington got a right to take credit for what the American people have done.”
