'Match made in hell': Conservative rips GA GOP for sowing Trump’s 'chaos and confusion'

Geoff Duncan, the former Georgia Republican lieutenant governor, on Friday reacted to the state party chair’s effort to bar him from running as a Republican over Duncan’s endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, telling CNN he has “no desire to be a part of that party.”

Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon on Friday “sent Duncan an open letter demanding that he ‘cease referring to [himself] as a Republican,’” The Atlantic-Journal Constitution reports.

In the letter, McKoon took a shot at Duncan’s “life otherwise devoid of accomplishment (e.g. dropping out of college, failing as a minor league baseball player, starting a series of sketchy businesses)” and claimed the former lieutenant governor is “prostituting [himself] to CNN as a Trump critic” to support his family.

Speaking about the letter on CNN, Duncan said he “read it first is like a breakup letter — but what they missed was I broke up with them a few years ago when they decided to not be conservative but be crazy.”

Duncan described a “mini-cult” in Georgia that “formed a relationship with Donald Trump's cult in 2020 — and it was a match made in hell.”

"And now all of a sudden you've got this crazy party that is not really a party, it’s just chaos and confusion,” Duncan continued. “And there's nothing that I'm proud about what they're doing. It's not certainly the Republican Party that I grew up in. and I have no desire to be a part of that party.”
