Members of the Georgia state legislature are still pushing for an emergency session to defund Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. 

“My constituents are super excited about the stand that I’m taking,” State Sen. Colton Moore (R-Ga.) told One America News. “They elected me to do my job as a state senator, and a state senator has a legislative duty to put a check and balance on rogue judicial and executive officers. And that’s what I’m doing by calling for this emergency special session.”

Former President Donald Trump praised Moore for being the first state legislator to make this stand. 

“Highly respected Georgia State Senator Colton Moore deserves thanks and congratulations of everyone for having the courage and conviction to fight the radical Left lunatics who are so badly hurting the great state of Georgia and, frankly, the USA itself,” Trump said in a statement.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP IS WITH ME!He knows that my call for an emergency session to DEFUND the corrupt Fani Willis is the correct move. Sadly, Georgia REPUBLICANS are blocking my efforts.This is madness. No more empty promises. The people want ACTION…
