Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Appoints Republican Donor To Fill Senate Seat

I’ve never heard of this woman.

That’s because she has never held public office before. The only thing she has ever done is donate lots of money to the GOP and now she is a U.S. senator.

AJC:

“Gov. Brian Kemp plans to tap financial executive Kelly Loeffler for a U.S. Senate seat next week as he pushes to expand the Georgia GOP’s appeal to women who have fled the party in recent years. 

The appointment would defy President Donald Trump and other Republican leaders who have repeatedly urged the governor to appoint U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, a four-term congressman who is one of the president’s staunchest defenders in Washington.  …”

I honestly don’t care.

I don’t expect anything else from the GOP. The only people who matter in the GOP are the donor class anyway. If Kelly Loeffler has purchased the Senate seat, she has acquired it more honestly than the rest of these conservative politicians. They ought to just dispense with the formality of elections of auction off these offices to the highest bidder.
