Trump repeatedly attacks Republican Georgia Gov. Kemp at Atlanta rally

Former president Donald Trump unleashed a fusillade of personal and sometimes false attacks against the popular governor of Georgia on Saturday night, reigniting an intraparty feud three months ahead of the presidential election in this battleground state.

At a rally where his advisers wanted him to sharply attack presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and focus on Democratic policies, Trump repeatedly veered off script to attack Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in personal and increasingly aggressive terms — and seemed fixated on the past.

Trump mocked him sarcastically and called him “Little Brian”; repeatedly called him “disloyal”; blamed Kemp for Trump being charged in Georgia by a prosecutor whom Kemp has criticized; suggested Kemp wanted Republicans to lose elections; and argued Georgia would have better crime and economic numbers if Kemp were no longer governor.
