Bibb County GOP issues pro-Trump resolution

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Following former President Donald Trump’s surrender to Fulton County authorities in Georgia, the Bibb County Republican Party is pointing to a resolution it approved on August 17 that demonstrates full support for the current Republican Party presidential frontrunner and also demands action against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who led the charge in filing charges against Trump.

“We want the attorney general to do a full investigation of the Fulton County DA,” Bibb County Republican Party Chair David Sumrall said.

Sumrall, who penned the resolution after seeing a similar document created by a local Republican Party in South Carolina, is calling for more than just an investigation.

“We would like the legislature to come together to do a special session to remove the Fulton County DA for exceeding her authority,” says Sumrall.

Despite the controversy surrounding the 45th president, Sumrall believes the latest charges will actually enhance Trump’s popularity.

As of now, the attorney general has not initiated an investigation into the Fulton County DA, and there has been no indication of a special session commencing for the state legislature.

A RESOLUTION DEMANDING INVESTIGATION INTO PARTISAN INDICTMENTS

WHEREAS, the recent Fulton County Grand Jury indictments of President Trump and his co-defendants are a blatant attempt to silence the voices of conservatives and threaten those who use legitimate processes to challenge disputed elections;

AND WHEREAS, the indictments signal to the world that the United States is no longer a constitutional republic but has become a banana republic in which those in power arrest their political enemies and silence all opposition through force and coercion;

AND WHEREAS, the Fulton County’s website published the indictment prior to the completion of the grand jury’s deliberation on the matter, calling into question the District Attorney’s ability to administer nonpartisan justice;

AND WHEREAS, the Fulton County District Attorney campaigned on a premeditated plan to prosecute President Trump;

AND WHEREAS, President Trump is the leading candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination and has warned that a government that silences political opponents will soon begin to silence its own citizens;

AND WHEREAS, the Fulton County District Attorney has not attempted to indict Stacey Abrams and others who fraudulently denied the results of the 2018 Georgia Gubernatorial Election or the 2016 Presidential Election;

AND WHEREAS, the alleged crimes described in the indictments occurred on State Capitol grounds under the jurisdiction of the Capitol Police and the Georgia Attorney General and involve a federal election, and therefore, are not under the jurisdiction of Fulton County;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Bibb County Republican Party strongly condemns the recent indictment against former President Donald Trump and other co-defendants orchestrated by the Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney; and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Bibb County Republican Party urges the Georgia Attorney General to investigate the legality of this indictment; and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Bibb County Republican Party supports the calling of a special session of the legislature to remove the Fulton County District Attorney; and,

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Bibb County Republican Party stands with President Trump and his co-defendants and their families and urges all Georgia citizens to contact the Attorney General and their legislators to support an investigation into these partisan indictments.
