(CNN) Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and other state leaders have spoken out against bigotry and hate after antisemitic demonstrations took place outside two synagogues in the state this weekend.
Groups were observed yelling antisemitic messages outside a Macon temple Friday night and displaying swastikas and signs with neo-Nazi messages outside a Cobb County synagogue on Saturday.
Antisemitic flyers were also discovered in at least one central Georgia community.

Do something Kemp! Condemn every vile utterance from your party members. Get laws in place to protect minority groups instead of leading the charge to crush them.

Also, swastikas are not free speech, they are hate speech and against our democracy. I don't think that speech was meant to be constitutionally protected IMO.
