Donald Trump's 'stupid' swipes at Brian Kemp come at a terrible time for the GOP in Georgia

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) So much for Republican unity.

Even before Donald Trump took the stage Saturday at his Atlanta rally, he took to social media to berate Gov. Brian Kemp and his wife Marty as traitors to the GOP cause.

Then, before thousands of supporters packed into a Georgia State University arena, Trump escalated his attacks. Kemp and his allies, he said, “want us to lose” in November. Under Kemp’s watch, he added, “the state has gone to hell” and Atlanta became a “killing field.”

Never mind the lack of evidence supporting the broadsides. Over the course of his 90-minute speech, the former president reopened festering internal wounds within the Georgia GOP and left fellow Republicans baffled and seething at the timing of his tirade.
