Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore, who demanded a special session of the Legislature for an investigation of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D), was indefinitely suspended from the chamber’s GOP caucus Thursday.
“Despite the fact 32 of 33 Republican State Senators, the Governor, Lt. Governor, Speaker of the House, and the Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party agree that a Special Session to take action against the Fulton County District Attorney is impossible, Senator Moore has a right to his opinion,” according to a statement posted to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, by the Georgia Senate Republicans.
“However, during his advocacy for his ill-conceived proposal, Senator Moore has knowingly misled people across Georgia and our nation, causing unnecessary tension and hostility, while putting his Caucus colleagues and their families at risk of personal harm,” the statement continued.
Moore called for a special session for an investigation into Willis last month after the district attorney indicted former President Trump on charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
“The Legislature has this great check and balance when it comes to controlling the purse. Ultimately, from what I’ve seen, I think she should completely be defunded of any state dollars. People in northwest Georgia and Georgians all over don’t want their tax dollars going to fund this type of political persecution,” Moore told The Hill at the time.
Moore hit back at his suspension, saying he will now refer to the GOP Senate caucus as the “RINO caucus,” meaning Republican in name only.
“The Georgia RINOs responded to my call to fight back against the Trump witch hunts by acting like children and throwing me out of the caucus,” Moore said in a post on X. “But I’m not going anywhere.” “The people of Georgia are 100% with me,” he continued. “This is the fight of our lifetime, and I will continue to double down to defend the rule of law and do what is right. I will continue to EXPOSE Fani Willis and the RINOs covering for her.”
So sick of what these lying fascist pricks have to say. If it was a “witch hunt” (a very annoying term after hearing the orange degenerate scream it for years) or political prosecution, there won’t be proof of the specific crimes of which the defendants have been accused. If there is, I’m sure this guy won’t say “oh, oops, I was wrong”. The way they attack the legal system and individuals working for it is a strong negative influence as well. I’m sure this loser will be very welcome on right-wing news shows though.
This prick also has threatened us all with violence over trump:
I kinda wish we had just let the south secede
The country didn’t have the resources it would need to survive had the south been allowed to secede, and slavery wouldn’t have ended (or wouldn’t have ended anywhere near as soon and Jim Crow laws would still be in effect most likely). That’s not a good timeline.
Which resources and why not? The US didn’t have to be a megacountry to make it. Overall the South is a drain on the rest of the country because of their backwards shit, general lack of education, and the horrifying politicians they inflict on the rest of the country. Slavery might not have ended right then, but it would have eventually. They kept treating black people like total shit for decades anyway, I mean, they still are. Slavery also hasn’t ended worldwide… it just went underground. There are more slaves now worldwide than there were in 1850.
