The Georgia state senator pushing to defund the Fulton County district attorney’s office following the indictment of former President Donald Trump is warning his colleague that if they don’t act, “our constituencies are going to be fighting it in the streets.”
Sen. Colton Moore, a backbencher in the Georgia Legislature, has gained notoriety by calling on his fellow lawmakers to pressure Republican Gov. Brian Kemp to call a special session to claw back taxpayer dollars going to Fani Willis, the district attorney behind the indictment against Mr. Trump and 18 others for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
He added, “I want to make this problem go away with my legislative means of doing so, and the first step to getting that done is defunding Fani Willis of any Georgia tax dollars.” “He is trying to make a name for himself and position himself for a higher office, but a lot of people do not take him seriously — even a lot of Trump people,” said David Johnson, a Georgia-based GOP strategist. “They see this as his opportunity for his 15 minutes of fame.”
Mr. Hatchett said the GOP lacks the supermajority needed to gut funding for Ms. Willis’ office, adding that Mr. Moore “inaccurately cites the Georgia Constitution, something even a quick Google search would reveal.”
