"It's batshit crazy."

I swear that ear piercing must have affected his brain.

Trump reopens old feud in Georgia. Some Republicans are scratching their heads.

Some Republicans warned Trump’s comments could threaten his already shaky prospects in the state.

What the crazy fuck did was use his campaign rally tonight in Ga. to attack and insult the state's governor--over the 2020 election.

Just before rallying supporters in Atlanta on Saturday, Trump unleashed a tirade on the state’s popular Republican governor, Brian Kemp, whose vaunted ground game operation Trump may need in November, ripping into him on Truth Social for “fighting Unity and the Republican Party.”

And when Trump took the stage, he went at him even harder.

“He’s a bad guy, he’s a disloyal guy and he’s a very average governor,” Trump told supporters, eliciting boos toward Kemp from the crowd.

“I’m sitting here scratching my head,” Bobby Saparow, a Republican operative and Brian Kemp’s former campaign manager, told POLITICO. “Attacking the popular governor of a pivotal swing state makes zero sense. ..."

Erick Erickson, the Georgia Republican and radio host, told POLITICO: “Over 30,000 people refused to vote for [Trump] in Georgia in 2020 and he lost by about 12,000 votes. All he’s doing is reminding everyone why they don’t like him. And he has no Georgia ground game and will have to rely on Kemp. It’s going to hurt him.”

Kamala has a ground game on every piece of ground in Georgia and in the other swing states.

Many Republicans inside and outside of Georgia still nurse raw feelings about how Trump’s fixation on the 2020 election in the state contributed to a major setback for the party in the 2021 Senate runoffs. Democrats won two Senate seats in Georgia that January, when Trump’s false claims about a stolen election were widely credited with dampening Republican turnout.

Trump opened his rally in Atlanta — in the same venue where his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, rallied just days ago — by hailing the saying he was “thrilled to be back in the great state of Georgia. I love Georgia.”

In a response to Trump’s post on Truth Social, Kemp said his focus was “winning this November and saving our country from Kamala Harris and the Democrats — not engaging in petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past. You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of it.”

“I think the more important point is that you’re trying to unify your party and you personally attack the most popular politician in the state who has said he’s supporting you,” said a GOP operative in Georgia, granted anonymity to speak freely. “It’s batshit crazy.”
