Atlanta's mayor slammed Georgia's Republican governor for trying to stop her mandatory mask order
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta has hit out at Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp over his attempt to "restrain" her from talking about their dispute over a face mask mandate for the city.
Kemp, a Republican, began legal proceedings against the city on July 16, after Bottoms, a Democrat, defied his executive order that stops local officials from issuing mask mandates. Bottoms issued a mandate soon after.
However, according to an Sunday Instagram post from Bottoms, Kemp has also applied for an emergency injunction.
This asks the court to suspend her order as well as bar her from speaking publicly about her belief that she had the authority to issue it.
