Colton Moore is a state senator in Georgia. He’s also one of the few Georgia politicians at the state level who is willing to fight for Trump, as many of the supposed conservatives in his state are backing down and refusing to go after Fulton County DA Fani Willis for her prosecution of former President Donald Trump and his allies.
Posting about the situation on X, formerly known as Twitter, State Senator Moore called out the fecklessness of the Georgia Republicans and called on conservatives in the state who are ready for a fight to DM him to start running for office and get better people put in state political positions.
He said, “The RINO class is out of control in Georgia. It is absolutely insane that we have REPUBLICANS blocking my effort to defund Fani Willis. I will not quit this fight. If you are a PATRIOT that wants to run for Georgia House or Georgia Senate… Please DM me ASAP. NEED NEW LEADERS!”
He also called for a special session to oust DA Fani Willis in another tweet, posting a letter addressed to Governor Kemp in which he said, “We, the undersigned, being duly elected members of the Georgia House of Representatives and Georgia Senate, and comprising 3/5 of each respective house, pursuant to Article IV, Section II, Paragraph VII(b), hereby certify to you, in writing, with a copy to the Secretary of State, that in our opinion an emergency exists in the affairs of the state, requiring a special session to be convened under that section, for all purposes, to include, without limitation, the review and response to the actions of Fani Willis.”
And, in yet another post, State Sen. Moore called out one of the RINOS who is refusing to side with the state conservatives and Trump against DA Willis. Check that out here:

One of the other GA Republicans fighting for Trump is State Senator Clint Dixon. He said, “I’m frustrated by the Fulton County indictments handed down last week. This is clearly all about Fani Willis and her unabashed goal to become some sort of leftist celebrity. While some have called for a Special Session, that’s not a legitimate option to hold her accountable. There is no legal action that the Legislature can take to stop Fani Willis’ bad behavior. The Legislature does not have control over her office or funding. And even if the legislature was empowered to act, calling a Special Session requires a 3/5s majority of the legislature, meaning Democrats would have to go on the record in opposition of their aspiring super star. This reality is one of the reasons we passed a law this year to hold rogue District Attorneys accountable. Once the Prosecutorial Oversight Committee is is appointed in October, we can call on them to investigate and take action against Fani Willis and her efforts that weaponize the justice system against political opponents. This is our best measure, and I will be ready to call for that investigation.”
Governor Kemp, for his part, resisted efforts to impeach her, saying, “Up to this point, I have not seen any evidence that DA Willis’ actions or lack thereof warrant action by the prosecuting attorney oversight commission. As long as I’m governor, we are going to follow the law and the Constitution — regardless of who it helps politically.”
