Georgia Republicans find themselves in a state of disarray as right-wing conservatives, both in Congress and Georgia's General Assembly, pressure GOP leaders to pursue efforts to punish Democratic Fulton County, Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis for indicting former President Donald Trump.
Spearheaded by first-term state Sen. Colton Moore, the push for political retribution has shaken the so-called law and order party, as some of the GOP's less radical colleagues are forced to fire back against the unseemly probing of a prosecutor. Earlier this month, Willis charged Trump and 18 other defendants in a sprawling racketeering indictment accusing the group of conspiring to overturn the results of the state's 2020 election. Moore, who represents the northwest corner of Georgia, in response to the indictment said Willis' "political persecution" of Trump and her behavior in the aftermath should prompt an emergency session to review her actions.
