    “We have to purge the Party of people that go against our Candidates, and make it harder for a popular Republican President to beat the Radical Left Lunatics. Geoff Duncan is a loser who is disintegrating on his own.” Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday, referring to the former lieutenant governor of Georgia who has endorsed Harris.

    What exactly does he mean by “purge?”

    Also, Geoff Duncan:

    In May 2024…Duncan expressed his support in the 2024 U.S. presidential election for Democratic incumbent President Joe Biden, while strongly criticizing the GOP presumptive nominee, former Republican President Donald Trump. Duncan described Biden as a “decent person I disagree with on policy”, which he contrasted with Trump, who he characterized as “a criminal defendant without a moral compass”. After Biden stepped aside, Duncan endorsed Kamala Harris.

      Less deadly purge (for now)

      By “purge” he means he wants one of his cultists to do some right-wing radical terrorism. But only if he is unable to be prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder.
