Ex-Georgia Lt. Governor's Concerns Over Trump's Recent Statements

Former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan voiced his apprehensions about statements made by Trump earlier in August, when the former president posted a message on Truth Social, stating, “If you go after me, I'm coming after you!

Duncan characterizing them as "erratic" and "unmoored from truth." In an Aug. 7 interview on CNN, Duncan expressed his unease, particularly in the context of Trump's ongoing legal challenges.

He drew connections between Trump's recent remarks and the events leading up to the Capitol attack. "We’ve seen this play out, even the communications that we’ve seen in the last 48 to 72 hours that he has put out on social media just seem erratic and unmoored from truth," Duncan stated.
