When Kemp announces Kelly Loeffler as his choice for Georgia's open Senate seat on Wednesday, he will be courting some serious right-wing blowback
Loeffler appears headed for the U.S. Senate. Photo: Marcus Ingram/Getty Images It’s possible, I suppose, that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has cut some sort of deal with the White House to get POTUS to go along with the selection of WNBA executive and all-around moneybags Kelly Loeffler to the U.S. Senate seat being vacated at year’s end by Johnny Isakson.
The rap on Loeffler has mostly been that she’s a wealthy RINO, viz. her and her husband’s heavy financial support for Mitt Romney . There have also been suspicions aired that Loeffler is soft on baby-killers, mostly because the WNBA, with whom she is associated as owner of the Atlanta Dream franchise, has designated Planned Parenthood as an eligible recipient of charitable funds from ticket sales.
I have been told by multiple people that Loeffler is a devout, pro-life Catholic with a worldview that reflects that. I have no reason to believe otherwise….This is one of those times to have a leap of faith with a trusted ally and perhaps give her a chance.
