Georgia’s lieutenant governor, one of the most prominent Republicans to openly contradict false claims about fraud in the November presidential election, confirmed Monday as expected that he won’t seek reelection in 2022.

Republican Geoff Duncan was among the most high-profile Republicans to openly oppose Trump’s claims, angering many in his own party.

In Georgia, many other Republican officials have doubled down on unproven claims that Trump was cheated out of Georgia’s 16 electoral votes in November. Duncan said Monday that he will focus on building an advocacy organization called GOP 2.0 that “will focus on healing and rebuilding a Republican Party that is damaged but not destroyed.”

“GOP 2.0 will work hard every day reminding Americans the value of conservative policies through genuine empathy and a respectful tone,” Duncan said.

Go ahead and do that Duncan. GOP 2.0, won't be grand, it won't be old, and I doubt it won't be much of party since we will have a blast whipping your pussy boy asses.

Why? The same people who paid to steal the election are still paying him.

Follow the money.

Note the use of the loaded and false terms “false claims” and “unproven claims.”

REAL journalist would just say “claims” or better “contentions.”

And the left continues to say the media is not biased.

Yet ANOTHER Trump victory.

“In Georgia, many other Republican officials have doubled down on UNPROVEN claims that Trump was cheated out of Georgia’s 16 electoral votes in November.”

Hmmm, interesting term ‘unproven’. I happen to agree with that term here. But what happened to ‘debunked’ and similar terms. Might AP know something about Arizona that is making them be a bit more careful in describing the 2020 election?

I don't think Duncan could get re-elected, given what happened in Georgia. So rather than go through the embarrassment, he's ducking out
In addition, he probably is trying to avoid further scrutiny.

“””Duncan said Monday that he will focus on building an advocacy organization”””


In the business world a person becomes a ‘consultant’ when they are fired from their job.

In the political world a person who is fired creates an advocacy organization.

Allow me to translate American Pravda’s lies.

One of the prominent Georgia RINOs in the Kemp administration realizes after backing the Steal that his political career is over and opts to duck out from the certain ass kicking that was coming his way in 2022.

Kemp and Ratburger (and Ratburger’s cronies) are on deck.
