She’s also immediately the hottest Senator. A lot of the things some conservatives are saying about Senator Kelly Loeffler could have been, and were, said about Trump, and look how that has turned out. I say we give her a chance.

Here are her full introductory comments:

Good morning. I want to start this morning by thanking Governor Kemp for this important opportunity to serve our nation and our state.

I am humbled buy this honor and I am grateful for the confidence that you’ve placed in me. Thank you, governor.

I’d also like to thank Senator Isakson for his years of service to our state and our nation. He’s a true statesman for Georgia and we keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

I know I have a lot of work to do to earn the trust and support of my fellow Georgians, so for starters please allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Kelly Loeffler, I am a devoted wife, a proud patriot and a devout Christian.

I have lived the American dream and I am blessed to stand here today, but it is a long way from where I came from. I grew up on a family farm, the fourth generation of corn and soy bean farmers. I was shy, I had braces on my legs and on my teeth.

We lived simply, life revolved around farming, church, school and 4-H. There was a rhythm to our lives - we planted in the Spring, I showed cattle at the county fair in the summers and in the fall we harvested. Sundays were for church and family.

I attended public schools and helped pay my way through school waiting tables.

Hard work, faith and family - this is not a political slogan, this is at the foundation of everything I believe.

I’m not a career politician or even someone who’s run for office. I’ve spent the last 25 years building businesses, taking risks and creating jobs. I haven’t spent my life trying to get to Washington.

So here’s what folks are going to find out about me:

I’m a lifelong conservative, pro-second amendment, pro-Trump, pro-military and pro-wall. I make no apologies for my conservative values and I look forward to supporting President Trump’s conservative judges. I am strongly pro-life - the abortion-on-demand agenda is immoral. In the Senate I look forward to supporting S.160 - Senator Lindsey Graham’s 20-week abortion ban. And when it comes to protecting innocent life, I look to god because every life is a blessing.

In Washington I will work with President Trump to continue the incredible economic progress our nation has seen. Because of our president’s policies, we’re growing our economy and jobs at a record pace. Every day, new jobs are created for working moms and dads, for young graduates and for that waitress just looking for a chance.

I’ve been called soft-spoken, but I’ve also been called a lot worse.

In Congress, I may not be the loudest voice in the room, but you don’t have to be shrill to be tough. And when it comes to fighting for Georgia, I will never back down.

No one will fight harder for our state, for our nation, for our president and for our conservative values, because here’s the thing: Contrary to what you might see in the media, not every strong American woman is a liberal, many of us are conservatives and proud of it.

With all of the important things to be done in Washington and here at home in Georgia, I am angered by the impeachment circus. I oppose it, it’s a distraction and a sideshow. Just imagine what could be done if Democrats would stop fighting President Trump and playing politics and start working together. Think what could be done for hard-working families - creating jobs, expanding access to health care, keeping America safe and strong.

Make no mistake - Washington Democrats want to overturn much more than an election, they want to overturn our way of life, because they resent America’s success. They can’t tell you how much their socialist ideas will cost, they don’t care how many jobs will be destroyed, and they can’t even agree that they want to protect our borders. The only thing they agree on is that they hate Donald Trump.

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, that whole socialist gang in Washington – they’ve taken over the Democrat Party and they will not stop until America bends to their every demand, and everything that has made our country great is destroyed.

This is the fight of our generation and this is why I’m here. I’m Kelly Loeffler, this is who I am, this is what I believe.

As an outsider to Washington, I know I have to prove it, to earn your trust and your support - through my votes, through my priorities and my actions. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Thank you, may God bless Georgia and may God bless America.

I agree. We need to put an end to all of this in-fighting, debating who has the highest conservative score, etc. We have the enemy pounding at the gates, so we need to unite.

Now I'm not talking about Benedict Arnolds and the spies within the party (looking at you Mitt). They need to be flung over the wall.

Let's give Kelly a chance. Let her establish a record, then we can have the debate.

I think Ted Cruz has come a long way too. So anything is possible

All talk Ted is a self promoter. I was a strong supporter- no longer. Ted is great at one liners but has accomplished NOTHING. He is a self promoter- that is silent during this 3 year coup nightmare. Never Ted

I will admit that I don’t know much about these senators, I’m more pissed that it’s seems like the Governor stabbed Trump in the back

We dont have the luxury of giving someone a chance, the senate margins are too thin. If she betrays us during the impeachment trial it could be game over

If her actions match her statement, then it's wonderful. Unfortunately we have been disappointed with politicians making similar statements and then yielding to the Swamp after arrival.

Trust, but verify.

HuggableBear 4 points ago +5 / -1

Yeah. I Trust Kemp. I don't trust her, but I don't know her. Kemp, however, has earned a lot of goodwill. If this is what he chooses to spend it on, so be it. Hopefully, she ends up being something that earns him even more goodwill instead of costing it.

We'll see...

I knew as soon as I heard about her being picked out of the blue on the radio that it sounded odd. Without ever seeing her or knowing anything about her, I knew this was about...

A: Money B: Pussy or C: Both

I wasn’t wrong.......

Sounds like the kind of voice we need in Washington, but I'm always on the fence until someone is tested. Have high hopes but time will tell.

What a blessing to her family and our country. May God continue to watch over and protect her and hers.

She is a globalist that loves the idea of babies being dismembered alive so much that her business has made sure that hundreds of thousands of dollars got donated towards it. Anyone in the same camp as graham, romney and mccain is a piece of shit, including this woman.

Only a fucking moron or a shill would prefer this snake in the grass over Collins, who has repeatedly gone to the mat for the people of the USA. I will not only vote for whoever runs against her (primary or otherwise), I will vote against kemp in his primary and if he wins that I will vote for anyone the dems put up against him.

It's nauseating to see a supposedly pro-Trump site celebrating a defeat for him.

thank you, finally, a voice of reason

PEPE_the_Frog 3 points ago +3 / -0

l cant upvote this enough. Trump has said MANY times that he doesnt fear the democrats, but he definitely worries about the RINOS destroying us from within. Collins is OUR GUY, he should be in that seat, not this RINO woman

At least you're openly advertising that you're a dem voter and part of the problem. Now kindly go fuck yourself

Covfefe_Crusader 4 points ago +6 / -2

I voted for Trump twice and will vote for him again. I voted for kemp as well but will learn from my mistake. I'd prefer accelerationism to sucking RINO cock.

> accelerationism

So deliberately aiding and abetting the enemy. Go live in a blue state if you want to vote for blue governors

This being America, I will live wherever I want to live and vote however I want to vote. The fact that you seem to think you can tell me what to do would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

It's a done deal. Now we need to work with her.

Covfefe_Crusader 3 points ago +4 / -1

I have 0 need to work with her and all the motivation I need to vote against both her and kemp. She's just another on a disturbingly long list of the wrong people being allowed to run the country into the ground.

It's really no wonder the USA is on the brink. So many so called conservatives only know how to capitulate and bend the knee as you suggest, which is why the do nothing GOPe is a perfect fit for them. This thread reads like a RINO worshiping congregation, not a Trump rally.

PEPE_the_Frog 4 points ago +4 / -0

this woman is a snake in the grass. Collins EARNED this seat. PRESIDENT TRUMP SPECIFICALLY DID NOT WANT HER. KEMP HAS BETRAYED TRUMP AND BETRAYED THE MAGA MOVEMENT

As a Reagan-conservative, I voted for trump mostly to put in good constructionist judges.

We'll see. Why would Kemp defy Trump on this? Especially after Trump stood up to help Kemp win. I wonder if this was a Blagojevich situation? I won't trust her for a single minute. It is her history- not her gender that is the issue.

The problem with politicians is they aren't treated like what they are; employees of the United States.

In a normal workplace, if you violate company policies, badmouth your employer, or act in a manner that reflects poorly on them, even in your private life, you get shown the door. And not only do you not get hired if your background is questionable, you have to start and the bottom and work your way up.

I know that's an idealized description, but if that is how it is supposed to work for a private company, how did we come to allow what takes place in the largest and most important company in America?

So yeah, if a candidate has the credentials, give them the job. But "let's wait and see" should be replaced by "if they screw up they'll be written up, and after two write-ups, shown the door with two weeks' severance pay".

To be pedantic, they were supposed to be employees of their own state, representing it's interests in DC.
