With just days to go before Election Day, Republican Brian Kemp continues to show how unfit he is to lead the state of Georgia as its next governor. On Wednesday, he dropped out of the final gubernatorial debate soon after it was announced that Oprah Winfrey would be campaigning for Democrat Stacey Abrams. The Abrams campaign rightfully called Kemp out for his cowardice and unprofessionalism—all the while announcing plans for Abrams to take questions from Georgians.
Meanwhile, Kemp’s campaign team, which is clearly made up of horrible people who don’t mind exploiting bigotry and division to win (and that’s putting it nicely), decided not just to spin the story to make Kemp look good, they flat out lied about the facts. This was what they tweeted about the debate.
But, of course, that’s not at all what happened. Because even though Kemp and Republicans seem not to know this, alternative facts are not actual facts.

As per WSB-TV, the very station that was supposed to host the debate: “Kemp’s campaign informed us they are unable to make that date and time work. Kemp is attending a rally with President Donald Trump in Macon.”
Basically, Brian Kemp decided that if Oprah was coming to Georgia to stump for his opponent, he’d bring out the big guns and campaign with Donald Trump and then lie about it. But lies almost always come back to bite you in the ass, especially on the campaign trail and especially when they are completely, 100 percent disputable with facts—something Republicans have yet to learn. So Brian Kemp is a liar, who was checked by the media (finally!) and got caught. And while Abrams will be receiving well-deserved support from Oprah and President Barack Obama (who comes to Georgia on Friday), Kemp will be on the road with another liar, his President and Racist-in-Chief Donald Trump.
Good riddance. Both of those lying losers deserve each other.
