The Georgia State Chapter of the RINO Removal Project is a grassroots movement dedicated to purging Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) from the Georgia Republican Party (GRP). Georgia, a cornerstone of conservative values, has been undermined by GOP leaders who campaign as conservatives but govern like Democrats, prioritizing establishment interests over the America First agenda. Our mission is to expose these betrayers, rally patriotic Georgians, and replace RINOs with true conservative leaders who champion limited government, secure borders, and traditional values. Join us to restore the Peach State’s GOP as a bastion of liberty and integrity!
The RINO Problem in Georgia: A Timeline of Betrayal
Georgia’s conservative heart is under attack by RINOs who dilute the GOP’s principles and align with liberal agendas. From Atlanta to Washington, D.C., these politicians betray voter trust by supporting moderate or progressive policies. Below is a timeline of key events highlighting the RINO crisis and the grassroots push to reclaim the GRP, based on recent developments:
- 2020–2021: Kemp and Raffensperger Defy Trump’s Election Fight
Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger faced intense criticism from conservatives for refusing to challenge the 2020 election results in Georgia. Despite Trump’s claims of fraud, both officials certified the results, earning the “RINO” label from Trump and his base. Trump called Kemp “a horrendous RINO who has betrayed the people of Georgia” for not supporting efforts to overturn the election, as noted in a 2023 Politico article. Their actions alienated MAGA voters, setting the stage for ongoing GOP divisions. - 2022: Kemp’s Moderate Governance Sparks Outrage
Despite conservative achievements like a heartbeat abortion ban and quick reopening after COVID lockdowns, Kemp’s refusal to fully embrace Trump’s agenda and his focus on bipartisan economic development drew RINO accusations. His 2022 primary win over Trump-backed David Perdue showed RINO resilience, but grassroots conservatives vowed to challenge his establishment grip, as reported in a 2024 Deseret News piece. - 2023–2024: RINO Senators Targeted by RRP
The RINO Removal Project (RRP) identified Georgia as a key battleground in its State Surveillance Program, targeting U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff’s Republican opponents who fail to uphold America First principles. While Ossoff is a Democrat, RRP’s focus on Georgia underscores efforts to ensure GOP candidates are ideologically pure, as noted in a May 2025 Townhall article. The GRP’s failure to consistently back Trump-endorsed candidates fueled RRP’s campaign. - April 2025: Grassroots Push Against RCV and RINOs
Georgia conservatives, inspired by RRP’s 12 state chapters, began organizing to repeal ranked-choice voting (RCV), which some argue benefits moderate RINOs by splitting conservative votes. Local GOP districts in Fulton and Cobb Counties passed resolutions condemning RINOs like Kemp for supporting policies perceived as too moderate, such as expanding Medicaid access, echoing sentiments from a June 2025 X post by @BethPearceinGA celebrating RRP’s efforts. - June 2025: RRP and GatorPAC Partnership & Strategic Partners
RRP announced a strategic partnership with GatorPAC, led by Col. Rob Manes. The RRP’s goal is to boost grassroots activism in Georgia. The collaboration, reported by MENAFN on June 12, 2025, leverages RRP’s RINOScorus™ 2.0 platform to identify RINOs using voting records and policy stances. Georgia’s chapter is co-hosting virtual town halls on X to promote America First candidates for 2026, targeting state legislators who back bipartisan bills. - Ongoing: Local GOP Districts Target State RINOs
Districts in Gwinnett and DeKalb Counties are pushing to censure state legislators like Rep. Scott Hilton and Sen. Shawn Still for supporting bipartisan education and infrastructure bills, seen as RINO compromises. These efforts mirror Alaska’s District 29 sanctions and aim to bar RINOs from GRP funding and endorsements, as inspired by RRP’s national strategy.
Why RINOs Are a Problem in Georgia
Georgia’s RINOs thrive in a state with a strong conservative base but a growing moderate electorate, exploiting divisions to maintain power. Here’s why they’re a threat and what’s at stake:
- Betrayal of Conservative Voters
RINOs like Kemp and Raffensperger campaign on conservative promises—tax cuts, border security, and election integrity—but their actions, such as certifying the 2020 election or supporting bipartisan policies, align with establishment or liberal interests. This erodes trust in the GRP and frustrates Georgia’s MAGA base. - Ranked-Choice Voting Protects RINOs
While Georgia doesn’t fully use RCV, debates over election reforms have raised concerns that moderate RINOs benefit from systems that dilute conservative votes. RRP’s push to eliminate open primaries, noted in a May 2025 Townhall article, aims to prevent Democrats from choosing less conservative GOP candidates. - Bipartisan Compromises Weaken America First
State legislators supporting bipartisan bills on education, healthcare, or infrastructure are accused of prioritizing corporate and globalist agendas over conservative priorities like fiscal restraint and Second Amendment rights. These compromises block bold reforms, as highlighted by RRP’s America First Academy. - National Impact of Georgia RINOs
Georgia’s role as a battleground state amplifies the damage of RINOs. Kemp’s refusal to back Trump’s 2020 election claims and Raffensperger’s resistance to fraud allegations weakened the national America First movement, as noted in a 2021 NBC News critique of GOP loyalty. - Lack of Accountability Emboldens RINOs
Past failures to sanction RINOs, like Kemp’s 2022 primary victory, signal to moderates that they can defy the GRP base without consequences. RRP’s state chapter leads aim to change this by enforcing accountability through censures and primary challenges.
The RINO Rogues’ Gallery: Georgia’s Top Targets
Here are the key RINOs undermining Georgia’s conservative agenda and why they must be removed:
- Gov. Brian Kemp (Election 2026, Term-Limited)
Kemp’s refusal to challenge the 2020 election results and his moderate policies, like Medicaid expansion, earned him Trump’s “RINO” label. Despite conservative wins like the heartbeat bill, his bipartisan approach and rejection of Trump’s agenda make him a prime RINO target. RRP is backing challengers for his allies in the 2026 legislature. - Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (Election 2026)
Raffensperger’s certification of the 2020 election and resistance to Trump’s fraud claims sparked MAGA fury. Labeled a RINO by Trump in 2020, his focus on election integrity reforms hasn’t quelled conservative distrust. RRP is mobilizing to support a primary challenger. - Rep. Scott Hilton (Election 2026)
Representing Peachtree Corners, Hilton’s support for bipartisan education and healthcare bills has drawn censure threats from Gwinnett County GOP districts. His moderate voting record, with a 60% conservative score per RRP’s RINOScorus™, marks him as a RINO target. - Sen. Shawn Still (Election 2026)
Still’s backing of infrastructure bills and failure to fully support Trump-endorsed policies led to censure resolutions in DeKalb County. His 55% RINOScorus™ score reflects his deviation from America First principles, making him a priority for RRP challengers.
The 2026 Elections: A Battle for Georgia’s Soul
The 2026 elections, including the gubernatorial race to replace term-limited Kemp, are a critical opportunity to oust RINOs and install America First leaders. RRP is vetting candidates through its proprietary questionnaire, focusing on secure borders, fiscal responsibility, and election integrity. The Georgia Chapter is hosting X Spaces town halls, with the next scheduled for July 15, 2025, featuring a challenger to Raffensperger.
