Our media firefighters haven’t yet offered up any conclusive evidence that Georgia secretary of state and GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp is guilty of fostering voter suppression, but that’s all about to change with this new “report” by Rolling Stone’s Jamil Smith:

Audio leaked to @RollingStone reveals @BrianKempGA telling attendees at a closed-door campaign event that @staceyabrams’s voter turnout operation “continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote.” Read my report. https://t.co/uAob3x4TVx

Wow. Damning!
Seems this guy would be forced to step down by now. Hopefully this video will lead to that.

Except no. It’s not damning. Like, at all.
Yeah your headline is intentionally misleading. He was talking about high turnout for the Abrams, and how he needs high turnout too. Your article even mentions that. pic.twitter.com/bXZoprYTga

Superb example. It’s just stupid journalism to edit his quote like that. As if no one would notice.

Stupid journalism. Sounds like par for the course with Rolling Stone.
Rolling Stone. You are documented liars.
