Georgia's former Republican Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan fired back at Donald Trump with a post trolling the former President after Trump posted on Truth Social that Duncan shouldn't testify against him in the Georgia election interference case.
Duncan's remarks came after a grand jury in Georgia investigating Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election result handed up a criminal indictment that charged Trump and 18 of his associates—including his attorney Rudy Giuliani and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows—under Georgia's anti-racketeering law, marking the fourth time Trump has been indicted this year.
Duncan shared a screenshot of a post Trump made on his personal social media platform in which he'd shared an American Spectator article that called on Duncan to be "disqualified for anti-Trump bias" ahead of his appearance before a grand jury and wrote the following message:
"This is starting to become a daily occurrence [Donald Trump]. Thx for spelling my name right today and appreciate the feedback on my book 'GOP 2.0.'"
"Let me know which courtroom to send you an autographed copy to."

Many cheered Duncan's response and joined him in trolling the former President.
In an interview on NPR's Morning Edition, Duncan delivered a resonant message, imploring Republicans across the nation to recognize the significance of the Georgia indictment and its potential implications for the GOP's future.
He called for prominent figures within the party to voice their concerns and convictions, advocating that they stand up for the best interests of both the party and the nation:
"U.S. senators, conservative governors, state legislators — everybody that has a voice and a platform — should speak up as a Republican, and tell Donald Trump to get out of this race because it's not good for the party. But more importantly, it's not good for this country."
This call comes against the backdrop of a recent poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which found that a significant portion of Republicans still support the idea of Trump running for president in 2024.
Approximately 63 percent of Republicans expressed a desire for Trump to reenter the race, and 74 percent would back him if he secured the Republican nomination.
