Pence Draws Trump's Wrath By Campaigning Against His Candidate In Georgia

Former Vice President Mike Pence announced last week that he is heading to Georgia to campaign with incumbent governor Brian Kemp, the man that Donald Trump is working to defeat by backing David Perdue. This puts the two former teammates at odds with one another, and Trump has already lashed out saying that Kemp is "packing" the state of Georgia with "RINOs." Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Former vice president. Mike Pence has decided that he cannot stand by as Donald Trump supports David Purdue to unseat incumbent Republican Georgia, governor Brian Kemp, and Pence has said that on May 23rd, he is heading to the great state of Georgia to campaign with Brian Kemp, because as Pence puts it here, he built a safer and stronger Georgia by cutting taxes, empowering parents and investing in teachers, funding, law enforcement, and standing strong for our right to life. I am proud to offer my full support for four more years of Brian Kemp as governor of the great state of Georgia. And like I said, Donald Trump is the guy who not only is backing David Purdue to unseat Brian Kemp because of Trump's grudge against him. But Trump actually convinced Purdue to run in this race against Brian Kemp and Purdue is not doing well at all. This is probably going to be the biggest test of Donald Trump's actual power here in the United States in this primary season.

The primary of course is May 24th. Pence is coming down the day before, you know, because I, I guess he's got things to do between now and then. Um, I, I don't know that he actually has a real job, so I would imagine he could probably come down anytime he wants, but he's gonna make it the very last day. You know, because that way, if Kemp loses, he could be like, Hey look, you know, I guess I showed up at the last minute. I tried to do what I could, but it didn't work, but Kim's not gonna lose even among Georgia Republicans who still love Donald Trump, they still back Brian Kemp cuz Kemp in their eyes has actually done nothing wrong. I mean, let's be clear here, Mike Pence. And that statement I just read he's correct. Brian Kemp has been a good loyal by the book Republican. The only thing he didn't do was de-certify his state's electoral college votes. And instead give them to Donald Trump, which of course would've been illegal. Would've been a violation of federal and state law in Georgia. And Brian Kemp wouldn't do that because Joe Biden legitimately won and now Trump hates him and wants his career to be over with on Wednesday. However of last week, Donald Trump released a statement saying today, the worst election integrity governor in the country, Brian Kemp loaded the great state of Georgia up with rhinos.

Now Brian OS of course, as Republicans would name only, but I'm not even sure what that means like today. He loaded up with rhinos. What, what, what did he do? Cuz I looked and I couldn't find anything that Brian Kemp did on Wednesday to load the state up with, with Republicans who don't follow Trumpism like that. That's not a thing that happened, guys. I, I don't know what to tell ya.

But der Donald is sitting there saying you loaded him up today. Where for what? literally nothing happened. But what did happen is you got about Mike Pence. You've been at Pence for a while. We all know it. Mike Pence knows it. You're unhappy that Pince did not follow your plans. And John Eastman's plans and mark Meadow's plans to throw out certain states, electoral college votes to allow you to stay in office. That relationship is permanently fractured and what we're about to see in the state of Georgia, again on May 24th, this is gonna be a big one. We're gonna see which one of you actually has the power. Is it Donald Trump who convinced Purdue to run and has campaign for him? Or is it little bitty Mike Pence who shows up at literally the last minute when Kemp is already way ahead in the polls and says, Hey, I like this guy. Pence will have nothing to do with the victory, but he'll be able to claim victory much like Trump has done in plenty of the races. He's endorsed where he picks somebody that's already winning or in some cases running unopposed, endorses them and then says, haha. Another victory for me. Well, Pence is about to do the same thing in the state of Georgia. And I guarantee you Trump's wrath that we're gonna see come out on probably May 25th is gonna be like nothing we've ever seen.
