A top Republican adviser denounced Georgias 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 Ohios Republican Gov. John Kasich and he didnt 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 isnt due to actions that cant 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 Georgias 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.

healthcare to millions is a traitor to America, that includes Kemp and Trump.
