Article snippet: An adviser to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) hit back at Rep. warned that Kemp could face a primary challenger if he doesn't appoint Trump's preferred candidate to a soon-to-be open Senate seat.  "Mind your own business. We don’t know you and we don’t care what you think," tweeted Ryan Mahoney, whom the Atlanta Journal-Constitution identified as a top Kemp adviser. He was responding to an earlier tweet from Gaetz which said: "You all begged for @realDonaldTrump ’s support. Now, you are directly acting in contravention to his request." The Florida lawmaker had previously tweeted that Kemp should appoint Rep. MORE (R), who's resigning at the end of the year due to health concerns. "If you substitute your judgement for the President’s, maybe you need a primary in 2022," Gaetz wrote.  Gaetz's tweet follow reports that Kemp is expected to choose financial executive Kelly Loeffler for the role.  The Hill 1625 K Street, NW Suite 900 Washington DC 20006 | 202-628-8500 tel | 202-628-8503 fax The contents of this site are ©2019 Capitol Hill Publishing Corp., a subsidiary of News Communications, Inc.
