Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger were recently taken to task on Twitter by Donald Trump who slammed them for their refusal to call a special session. 

“RINOS @BrianKempGA,@GeoffDuncanGA, & Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, will be solely responsible for the potential loss of our two GREAT Senators from Georgia,

@sendavidperdue & @KLoeffler. Won’t call a Special Session or check for Signature Verification! People are ANGRY!” Trump said in a tweet.  

RINO stands for “Republican in Name Only.”

Raffensperger and Kemp have been regular targets of Trump. 

Last week Raffensperger announced he is launching an investigation following a video released allegedly showing ballot counting taking place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta after workers were told to leave.

Raffensperger certified the vote for the third time yesterday saying “the facts tell us a different story” in regards to voter concerns about alleged fraud. 

The Trump campaign has been critical of Kemp, alleging he failed to properly address allegations of voter fraud in Fulton County.
