Trump Finally Opens His War Chest…To Attack Other Republicans

Donald Trump is sitting on more money (in his PACs) than both the Republican Party and Democratic Party combined, but he's been exceptionally greedy and hasn't spent any money helping other Republicans. This week, however, he finally decided to spend half a million dollars - but the money wasn't spent building up a Republican; he used it to tear one down. Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Donald Trump has been sitting on more than 120 million via his save America political action committee. That 120 million by the way is more than both the democratic party and the Republican party have combined effectively, I guess, making Donald Trump the most powerful person in politics in terms of money. There's just one problem though. And we've talked about this extensively. That problem is that Donald Trump doesn't wanna share. He, he must have skipped that day in elementary school where you learn that sharing is caring and he hasn't spent any money helping any candidates anywhere or so we thought it turns out that back in March, Donald Trump did in fact give $500,000, half a million dollars to a conservative group called get Georgia Wright political action committee gave them half million, but it wasn't money that was given to build up a candidate. Instead it was money given to tear down incumbent Republican governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, Donald Trump sitting on more money than both political parties combined, not giving any money to any of the candidates that he has endorsed, including the one in Georgia, running for governor, not giving him money, but giving money to this other group to run attack ads against a fellow Republican and incumbent Republican. You love to see it folks. You Absolut Lee love to see it because the attack ad that get Georgia Wright ha uh, happens to be running right now is going after Brian Kemp. Of course, for not doing enough to overturn the state's elections, even though they couldn't overturn the state's elections, they did their audits. They did their recounts. They did everything they were supposed to do, but they couldn't, as Trump asked them to do find the votes. And they did, of course, after the 2020 election and acted one of the most sweeping and oppressive new voting laws here in the United States. So they, you know, being good, faithful little Republicans like, Hey, we couldn't overturn it, but I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll suppress the vote in future elections so that we don't have to this again. So they did everything they could to appease Donald Trump. But obviously, as we all know, still not enough. So Trump is going after Brian Kemp with everything he got, he is the one who was able to convince David Perue to actually run for governor against Brian Kemp. David Perue, as we all know, is the failed Senate candidate who lost in last year's runoff elections. So that's good, but Trump wants to tear down Kemp because Kemp's only problem was not overturning that election Purdue is not doing well by the way, in this Georgia race, most of, uh, Trump's handpicked candidates not doing well in their races, but Purdue in particular is doing very, very poorly. And Donald Trump is the one who personally not just endorsed him, but convinced him to run against Kemp. And with these new attack ads running against Brian Kemp and David Perue polling. So poorly, you do have this, you know, fight happening between the Republicans in the state of Georgia, trying to bloody each other up. And who does that benefit? That benefits Stacy Abrams, the Democrat running on the other side of the ticket, who almost, and had it not been for Brian Kemp, then secretary of state purging enough voters to make sure he won Stacy Abrams would currently be the governor of the state of Georgia. So the more they go go back and forth, the more that Donald Trump encourages these attack ads against Brian Kemp, the better it is for Stacy Abrams, which means the better it is for the state of Georgia. So Trump half a million dollars. Ain't gonna cut it, buddy. You got 120 in your war chest. Maybe it's time to open it up, go after Brian Kemp, a little bit harder because all your due is making yourself look foolish. And as I mentioned, helping Stacy Abrams in the state of Georgia.
