A Republican former Georgia lieutenant governor who has been fiercely critical of President-elect Donald Trump — and who endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president — scoffed as his own state's GOP hurled him out of the party on Monday.

Geoff Duncan frequently appeared on news networks such as CNN during the 2024 election cycle to bash the MAGA leader, even declaring in Election Day, "If Donald Trump wins, there's no doubt he'll wreck the car and continue to soil the brand of being a Republican."

On Monday afternoon, the Georgia GOP hit back in force.

"Geoff Duncan having been formally expelled, we ask that you refer to him as 'expelled Republican Geoff Duncan' or 'ousted Republican Geoff Duncan' when you go to him for quotes trashing President Trump and the Republican Party," the party wrote on X.

In a news release, the state GOP said Duncan campaigned as a Trump-supporting conservative when he ran for office who "exaggerated" claims, such as graduating from the Georgia Institute of Technology, playing in the MLB and being a successful businessman.

Duncan was a relief pitcher drafted by the then-Florida Marlins in the 69th round of the 1996 MLB draft from the technology institute. He pitched in five seasons, rising to AAA before a shoulder injury forced him to retire from the sport.

"Duncan’s single term as Lieutenant Governor was marred by embarrassment and scandal," the GOP railed, adding that he "undermined" Republican candidates such as Burt Jones, his GOP successor for lieutenant governor, and Herschel Walker, the GOP nominee for Senate. In doing so, he "violated his oath of allegiance to the Republican Party," the GOP alleged.

The party continued, adding that "by his pattern of conduct, Duncan has forfeited any claim to being even a nominal 'Republican.'"

Josh McKoon, chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, and the State Executive Committee of the party, both demanded he stop calling himself a Republican and "using his false credential as a 'Republican' to undermine and sabotage the Republican Party and its candidates," the GOP said.

The party said Duncan has been expelled and banned from qualifying as a candidate of the Georgia Republican Party. Furthermore, his nomination for lieutenant governor was expunged, along with his nominations for state House of Representatives.

The pointed letter drew praise from firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who wrote on X: "Expelled, ousted, and disgraced Republican Geoff Duncan belongs to the Democrats now."

Duncan also weighed in on the announcement, questioning on X whether his ouster was the best use of party resources.

"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," he wrote.

Bryson DeChambeau was paired with Rory McIlroy in the final round of the Masters on Sunday, but the two apparently didn’t exchange any words during the tense day that saw both golfers struggle until the end. 

Speaking to the media after shooting a 75 and finishing the tournament 7 under, the LIV Golf star revealed that he didn't speak once with McIlroy during the final pairing. 

"No idea," DeChambeau said of how McIlroy was after the round. "Didn’t talk to me once all day."

DeChambeau said he enjoyed the excitement of the day, but said his partner appeared zoned in. 

"He was just like ‘eh.’ Just being focused I guess. That’s not me, though." 

DeChambeau later said when asked if he tried to initiate conversation with McIlroy that "He wouldn’t talk to me." 

Despite a blunder-filled day, McIlroy completed the career slam with his first win at Augusta National after defeating Justin Rose in a one hole playoff on 18 after Rose missed a 15-foot putt for birdie.

DeChambeau shared in the shock on McIlroy’s biggest blunder of the day on 13 when McIlroy missed his mark by 20 yards on his second shot.  The ball disappeared into Rae's Creek and led to a double bogey.

"I wanted to cry for him. As a professional, you just know to hit it in the middle of the green, and I can’t believe he went for it, or must have just flared it,’’ he said. "I’ve hit bad shots in my career, too, and it happens. When you’re trying to win a major championship, especially out here, Sunday of Augusta, the Masters, you have to just do it and get the job done and do it right."

It wasn’t pretty, but McIlroy joined rare company with his win at Augusta, becoming just the sixth golfer in history to win all four majors. 

"There were points in my career where I didn’t know if I would have this nice garment over my shoulders. But I didn’t make it easy today. I certainly didn’t make it easy. I was nervous," McIlroy said. 

"It was one of the toughest days I’ve ever had on the golf course."
