Georgia Senator, asked about voter suppression, mugs constituent for his phone
US Senator David Purdue (R-GA/@sendavidperdue),
a grown-ass human being elected to high office in the most powerful
nation in the land, was asked a question about Brian Kemp, who is both a
(monumentally unhinged)
candidate for governor of Georgia and Georgia’s Secretary of State, in
charge of overseeing the election in which he is standing.In that latter capacity, Kemp has purged 10% of the state’s voter rolls comprising 53,000 people, 70% of whom are Black.
One of Purdue’s constituents asked him a question about his endorsement
of Kemp in light of this blatant, illegal voter suppression, whereupon
the senator stole his constituent’s phone and walked away with it.
