Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here, the Eric Erickson show, and my goodness, I bet you all know what we're going to talk about.

It has become a national news sensation over the weekend, and I happen to be in the epicenter of it.

David Perdue has announced he will run for governor and challenge the incumbent

Brian Kemp in Georgia. Stacey Abrams essentially baited him into doing this. The Democrats

knew exactly what they were doing. That's one of the most remarkable bits of this.

I don't want to dwell nationally with this in the ways I would on just

WSB in Atlanta. I actually did some special recording for them on this issue, but all of you

need to know because this is a major national story. Donald Trump's team has convinced former Senator David Perdue to challenge the incumbent Republican governor of Georgia in a Republican primary.

Poor old Vernon-Nul-Jones.

Vernon Snuggles Jones was a Democrat turned Republican for went overnight from pro

abortion to pro life and beclown himself announcing he was going to run against Brian

Kemp showed up at several Trump events and got head patted by Donald Trump and now Trump

is coming out with David Purdue after Vernon spent all that money

littering the state of Georgia with his yard signs down the interstate.

There is a small group of Republicans who feel aggrieved about Brian Kemp because they're not really Republicans.

They're Trump supporters.

Donald Trump lost, and of course he can never take the blame, nor can anyone blame him,

so others must be blamed.

So they will blame Brian Kemp, the governor of the state of Georgia, for Donald Trump's loss in Georgia, where 11,400 people more voted for Biden over him and then another 33,000 people refused to vote at all in that election.

Okay. people refused to vote at all in that election. This summer in Georgia, they had their annual Republican convention.

David Purdue introduced Brian Kemp at the Republican convention and saying his praises.

A month ago, reporters asked David Purdue about challenging Brian Kemp, the rumor he was going to run against Brian Kemp, and he said Georgia already has a governor and I support him.
