Georgia Governor's Lawsuit On Mask Mandate A 'Waste Of Resources' | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC
All Kemp is doing is sucking up to Trump, should Trump manage to Steal another election this November. Kemp is wanting an cabinet appointment.
Well the mayor husband got COVID 19.
Did he use a mask and if yes what happened.
Aww did he steal it you 5 year old little cupcake? Here’s a bottle for you
WATCH HOW THEY WILL DELETE THIS MSG: No the government should not interfere where someone’s action only affect themselves. However, by not wearing a mask you are endangering not only yourself but everyone else’s life as well. In situations where an individual is interfering with other people’s rights or freedom, THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO STEP IN. THIS IS THEIR JOB!! THIS IS THE US CONSTITUTION!! And they keep deleting this msg!!!!!
@libsrtraitors purged over 75k votes and ran while not recusing himself as secretary of state. Ran racist and idiotic ads.
libsrtraitors = the scum of Russia
A campaign worker stopped at my house last night, and asked me if I would consider voting for Donald Trump? I told her I would rather drive a rusty railroad spike through my skull. 🙂
David Goodfellow …Sorry… “Forcing who to do what?”
@faouzi alsadi VooJa Day is just another POS Russian troll. Ignore
David Goodfellow …..Hey there David, I guess you haven’t been following the news. Trump wasn’t impeached, there was no Russian there there, we landed on the moon, and the world has moved on. Time for you to do the same. Why don’t you watch this video to see where you’re going wrong. Thank you in advance.

Do it.
@Football Nerd You mean gullible and uneducated enough to vote for an old white racist with dementia. You guys sleigh me. The party of diversity and change and the best you can come up with is an old racist white guy that has failed blacks his whole career and he’s senile to boot. Good job. See you in November.
Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
An’ just an old sweet song keeps Georgia in fear and death
Did you know 30 Percent of kids tested in Florida are infected. Governor DeSantis resign now, our state is becoming a graveyard theme park
Oh no infected, there are ZERO deaths! People do not need Draconian marxist measures from anyone! How is the Mayor feeling? She tested+, got mildly sick, did not go to the hospital and did not DIE! In fact, the mortality rate on Covid is still dropping over time! There is NO reason to force wearing anything, you have no right to force anyone to wear a mask and you have no right to stop people from making a living, going to church or to NOT allow children to go to school! Very sorry, but, Life has to go on, this violence in your streets, increased crime, poverty and hunger will lead to many more deaths than Cv19 in the very near future!
@Pam Deshane You’re not up to date. It’s mutated to be less deadly but significantly more infectious. When it spreads faster, it will continue to ravage higher death counts. ALSO, you are unaware that there are other major organ and body damages from COVID that persist after recovery.
Perfect, that’s how you get herd immunity. So tell us, how many have died or even been sick?
Like 0.00000001% have got sick or died?
SO WHAT? IF TESTED SIDE BY SIDE FOR TOE NAIL FUNGUS COME UP WITH THE SAME NUMBERS FOOL. 30% ARE FALSE POSITIVES TO BOOT. STOP TESTING CASE NUMBERS GO IN THE TOILET! TEST FOR THE NORMAL FLU SEE WHAT HAPPENS NUMBERS WILL GO OFF THE CHART.
The real enemy is trump because if he would set the example his followers would follow and it’s such a simple fix to the problem it’s so common sense but he is the one that’s making it political so he is the demon here if everybody would mask up we get through this situation and be done with it and put it behind us
get out the country then. no room for ur communist rules here
@Calvin Jase Whoooo here be ghosts🥴🥴🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🐖😓💯✔️
So simple if they were N95 masks! People do not need Draconian marxist measures from anyone! How is the Mayor feeling? She tested+, got mildly sick, did not go to the hospital and did not DIE! In fact, the mortality rate on Covid is still dropping over time! There is NO reason to force wearing anything, you have no right to force anyone to wear a mask and you have no right to stop people from making a living, going to church or to NOT allow children to go to school! Very sorry, but, Life has to go on, this violence in your streets, increased crime, poverty and hunger will lead to many more deaths than Cv19 in the very near future! By the way, wearing a cloth bandana is like trying to stop a mosquito with a chain link fence!
@Pam Deshane You’re not up to date. It’s mutated to be less deadly but significantly more infectious. When it spreads faster, it will continue to ravage higher death counts. ALSO, you are unaware that there are other major organ and body damages from COVID that persist after recovery.
@DarkKnightTrinity Scare Monger, U hate America! What will happen to the people after this violence increases, crime increase, poverty increase and hunger sets in? How many will die from not allowing people to make a living?
Mask protest is another way a small group of misguided people are holding the rest of us hostage. This country is so F’ed.
At least they are looting and rioting and burning up the city. That’s what I call holding people hostage.
@Gregg Where??…are you stuck in June?
I don’t think Kemp will be running next cycle.

Donald Trump “The only reason we have so many cases is because we’ve done so much testing”
Well how do you explain the deaths?
Also wanna know the difference between the US and all these other countries? The other countries leaders encourage their people to wear masks!
China has over a billion people and zero Covid19 deaths. These stats are not honest.
@pinebird Not 0 deaths in total. 0 deaths yesterday.
I know it seems incredible when you live in the US and see people dying every day. But this virus is containable. Every other developed country in the world has proven that.
You hate America! People do not need Draconian marxist measures from anyone! How is the Mayor feeling? She tested+, got mildly sick, did not go to the hospital and did not DIE! In fact, the mortality rate on Covid is still dropping over time! There is NO reason to force wearing anything, you have no right to force anyone to wear a mask and you have no right to stop people from making a living, going to church or to NOT allow children to go to school!

Pam Deshane = Kemp is absolutely correct. He is strongly encouraging people to social distance and wear masks, but saying that it will not be enforced as law. Just not enough police to go around and arrest and old man like Joe Biden with his mask hanging from one ear.
China 0 cases………….BAHAHA
Omg., I like her a whole bunch., I would like very much for her to be joe Biden’s running mate !
*KEMP D I S G R A C E*
The Mayor should take his job, and then they could have a governor that isn’t a national joke.
Well, Stacy Abrams would have obviously been better.
Let’s help her do it
Trumptsers will go down with him in 100 days or so…
Trump would win in a fair election, just like he did against Hillary. Those same voters are out there. Now America is even more awake. The crimes of the political establishment have been exposed to the whole world. The Left can’t have a fair election, if they want to win. Thus, they have pulled out all the stops, are employing all assets, including the fake polls, the non-stop media disinfo campaign, censorship and other skullduggery on social media platforms and search engines, mail in ballot fraud, allegedly in response to the pandemic scare. It’s an all out war. If they keep pushing the mail in ballots, the election is sure to be contested. We may not know for weeks/months who ‘won’.
Some Dems are openly talking about using the ‘military’ to escort Trump from the White House if he refuses to admit defeat and leave (even if it can be shown that there was genuine fraud).
Oh Yeh! They will! HARD!
You speak of the enemy of covid but you forgot the enemy of the Trump lackeys.
The hospitals in Atlanta are busting out of their seams with the virus and the govenor is on the side of the virus. African Americans have it the worst with this virus. The mayor is trying to help the citizens and the moronic govenor is trying to stop her with a silly, expensive lawsuit. What an incredibly stupid govenor! Only in America!
Couldn’t have anything to do with all the rioters and looters could it?
Gregg it has to do with the governor kissed Donald’s butt, that’s what’s up !
YOUR A MORON HOSPITALS ARE NOT AT CAPACITY ONE IS BECAUSE THE COVID19 CASES ARE SHUTTLED TO THE ONE ONE HOSPTITAL IN THE AREA AND BESIDES ITS NOT ABNORMA TO HAVE PEAKS IN THE SYSTEM PUTTING STRAINS ON THE BEDS NOW AND THEN, MY ENTIRE FAMILY ARE DOCTORS AND NURSES CALL THE HOSPITALS YOURSELF GO LOOK AT THE EMPTY PARKING LOTS AND WAITING ROOMS. BESIDE HOW MANY DO YOU KNOW HAVE THIS KILLER VIRUS PERSONALLY FEW DO NATION WIDE!
@JR JR You wrote a large paragraph that is nothing but a extended sentence! No periods, no commas, written in all caps, with many misspellings of simple words. You proceeded to call others morons? That is very rich!
@richard Harris DID YOU GET THE POINT? DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING IMPORTANT? WHO APPOINTED YOU MY SPELLING TEACHER?
She is down with the virus…..having to work overtime to fight to keep people alive!!!!! Only in USA
Is the lawsuit just for this one mayor? Other mayors are doing the same thing. Why isn’t he suing them?
Counter Sue Brian Kemp for psychological damages, he is doing this knowing that you have been infected with the covid just to hurt you and your constituents.
She will make a good Governor.
No, no., I would think she would make a excellent Vice President ! And then maybe when joe gets out at 83 yrs old then the first black womenswear president ! How’s that sound ?
WHO SAYS?? SELLOUT IS WHAT SHE IS!!
@JR JR aaaw, cute.
One more reason Stacy Abrams should’ve won.
Can the family of 3100 died in Georgia sue Kemp?
