Top GOP adviser denounces Georgia's Brian Kemp: 'He cheated & undermined democracy every step of the

A top Republican adviser denounced Georgia’s governor-elect Brian Kemp as a “hack” who stole the election.

John Weaver, a political strategist for former president George H.W. Bush and a presidential campaign adviser to the late John McCain, now works for Ohio’s Republican Gov. John Kasich — and he didn’t mince words when it came to Kemp

.“This hack @BrianKempGA is the next “governor*” of Georgia,” Weaver tweeted. “But he cheated & undermined democracy every step of the way. @staceyabrams should be governor, but isn’t due to actions that can’t be tolerated. She has a bright future. We need a new, enforceable Voting Rights Act. Now!”

Democrat Stacey Abrams announced Friday she would end her gubernatorial campaign, but she refused to concede to Kemp — who oversaw as Georgia’s secretary of state an election clouded by voter suppression and malfunctioning equipment.

“Concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede,” Abrams said. “I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not right.”

There are some republicans who may feel some shame over the lack of decency, but the party as a whole apparently does not believe in the fundamental basic principles of democracy.
