The Jolt: Kemp rules out 2024 bid, keeps ‘open mind’ on GOP nominee
Atlanta,

TRAINING CENTER VIOLENCE. Republican members of Georgia’s congressional delegation filed a resolution last week condemning the violence at the proposed public safety training center in Atlanta. U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter took the lead on the language, and six other Georgia GOP members signed on as cosponsors: Reps. Andrew Clyde, Drew Ferguson, Austin Scott, Rich McCormick, Barry Loudermilk and Rick Allen. The resolution points out that all but two of the protestors arrested at the site earlier this month and accused of property damage and domestic terrorism live outside of Georgia. “Georgians back the blue and I am proud to lead this resolution in defense of our brave law enforcement officers,” Carter, R-Pooler, said in a statement. “Not only were these attacks violent and unnecessary, but these criminals claimed to be protecting the site against ‘ecological destruction’ while destroying it with fireworks and Molotov cocktails.” *** |
