Graham To GOP Georgia Gov: “Too Fast, Too Soon”

The New York Post reports:

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday lauded his home state’s plan to reopen its economy during the coronavirus pandemic — but chided neighboring Georgia for “going too fast too soon.”

“I support what South Carolina Governor @henrymcmaster announced yesterday — a small reopening of our state’s economy with a focus on social distancing. I worry that our friends and neighbors in Georgia are going too fast too soon,” the Republican lawmaker tweeted.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced plans Monday to restart the state’s economy before the end of the week, saying many businesses that closed to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus could reopen as early as Friday.

I support what South Carolina Governor @henrymcmaster announced yesterday — a small reopening of our state’s economy with a focus on social distancing.

I worry that our friends and neighbors in Georgia are going too fast too soon.
