Georgia Gov. Kemp dismisses GOP attempts to remove Fani Willis as 'political theater'

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has criticized efforts by fellow Republicans to target Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, calling them "political theater." Some Republicans have been attacking Willis since before she indicted former President Donald Trump for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election. Kemp stated that calls for a special session to impeach or defund Willis were wrong and that she had done nothing to warrant removal. He emphasized that Georgia would follow the law and the Constitution regardless of political implications. The divide between Kemp and some Republicans stems from his refusal to endorse Trump's false claims about the election. Trump has continued to attack both Kemp and Willis. Efforts to impeach Willis or defund her office are unlikely to succeed, and some Georgia Republicans are now considering seeking her removal through a new state prosecutorial oversight commission.
