In a move echoing through Georgia's political landscape, former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan has been formally expelled from the Georgia Republican Party. On Monday, the State Executive Committee took unanimous action to sever his involvement with the party, citing alleged disloyalty, according to a report by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The Georgia GOP's resolution accused Duncan of undermining his fellow Republicans, endorsing Democratic rivals, and using his GOP affiliation for personal advantage, "Geoff Duncan is hereby expelled from the Georgia Republican Party," the resolution states, he is also "banned from all property owned or leased by the Georgia Republican Party and all events held by or under the authority of the Georgia Republican Party," Atlanta News First elaborated on these details in their recent coverage of the event.
Duncan's response to the decision was sharp and delivered via X, a social media platform, where he questioned the party's priorities and criticized them for focusing on this expulsion while there are more pressing global issues to address, Duncan wrote, "Hard to believe this is a good use of time for a party that’s only got a limited amount of time to figure out mass deportations, world peace and global tariffs. Learn how to take a victory lap not light another dumpster fire @JoshMcKoon," as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The Georgia GOP has also mandated that in any subsequent media references, Duncan should be referred to as an "expelled Republican," as Atlanta News First has detailed, they have also barred him from running as a Republican in any future elections and have rescinded his previous nominations with the party, these statements are part of the resolution that has been publicly released by the party itself.
In a bid to clarify their standing on Duncan's future association with them and their branding as viewed by the larger public, the resolution further accuses him of perpetuating a "pattern of false and exaggerated claims" and adds that his position as a commentator on CNN has been in direct opposition to the party—using his ex-Republican status to "attack the Republican Party," according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
