Here's Kemp, trying to keep people of color from voting in the Georgia election, with his trying to deny 53,000 people from voting (70% of them African Americans)

He's now using language used by segregationists in the civil rights era.

“Despite what you hear or read, the numbers are clear. While outside agitators disparage this office and falsely attack us, we have kept our heads down and remained focused on ensuring secure, accessible, and fair elections for all voters,” Kemp said in a statement through his state office website.
"“Brian Kemp refers to his critics as ‘outside agitators.’ You can’t make this stuff up!” tweeted Joseph Crespino, professor of 20th century U.S. history and chair of the history department at Emory University in Atlanta."
That's exactly the language of the segregationists from many decades ago when used to describe the people that were pushing for civil rights in the south.
From the article:
"One of Georgia’s most famous white supremacists, the late Gov. Lester Maddox, often used the term “agitators” to dismiss those who protested his refusal to serve three African-American Georgia Tech students at his restaurant in Atlanta. Maddox’s account of the 1964 confrontation, after the enactment of the federal Civil Rights Act, included multiple reference to “agitators.”"
