Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock condemned two neo-Nazi demonstrations that took place outside synagogues in Macon and near Atlanta on Friday and Saturday.

“There is absolutely no place for this hate and antisemitism in our state. I share in the outrage over this shameful act and stand with Georgians everywhere in condemning it,” Kemp tweeted Sunday morning. “We remain vigilant in the face of these disgusting acts of bigotry.”
