ATLANTA (The Borowitz Report)In his latest response to the coronavirus pandemic, Georgias governor, Brian Kemp, has issued a sweeping statewide ban on science.
Over the past few weeks, scientific information has been spreading throughout the state of Georgia like wildfire, Kemp said. We need to flatten the truth curve.
Under the executive order, Georgians can be fined as much as five hundred dollars for visiting Web sites containing evidence-based information.
Additionally, Kemp is issuing a stay-at-home order for all Georgians planning a trip to a library or bookstore.
The governor said that Georgians could once again visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site as soon as the rest of its data has been safely removed.
Kemps zero-tolerance policy on science drew strong praise from his Republican colleague Donald J. Trump.
Congratulations to Brian Kemp for having the guts to get tough on science, unlike those beauties Andrew Cuomo, Jay Inslee, and that woman from Michigan, he tweeted.
Trumps support has reportedly emboldened Kemp, who is said to be considering a statewide ban on integers.

(206,720 posts)What I really don't get is how Brian Kemp was allowed to run when he was also in a position to oversee the election! That raised red flags well before the election!

(206,720 posts)That makes obvious sense given his position at the time of the election.
