ATLANTA — As Gov. Brian Kemp and other top Republicans distance themselves from the Georgia GOP, the state party is moving to the far-right fringe for a significant upcoming event.
Once a regular draw for governors and party elders, the state GOP is heralding U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as the headliner for its June 29 Foundation breakfast.
It's the latest evidence that top officials are steering clear of the state GOP after party chair David Shafer appeared to align himself with David Perdue and other Donald Trump-endorsed challengers who were shellacked by Republican incumbents in the May primary.
