Georgia GOP Suspends State Senator For Pressuring Colleagues to Impeach DA Prosecuting Trump

  • Republican state senator Colton Moore was suspended by Georgia's GOP caucus for pressuring colleagues to investigate and potentially impeach DA prosecuting Trump.

  • Moore had pushed for a special session to defund or remove Fulton County DA Fani Willis, who is prosecuting Trump for election tampering.

  • Georgia GOP senators said Moore's proposal was impossible and his rhetoric caused unnecessary tension and hostility.

  • Two GOP senators said they received threats for not supporting Moore's plan.

  • Moore condemned his suspension, saying "Georgia RINOs responded to my call to fight back against the Trump witch hunts by acting like children."
