Vernon Jones will easily fit in Drumpf’s Republican party
Pushing falsehood about the 2020 election, allegations of rape, corruption, cronyism, and incompetence. He has all the requisite qualifications.

Vernon Jones is an American politician from Georgia. Jones is a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives and Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County, Georgia. He unsuccessfully ran for the United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and DeKalb County Sheriff. Wikipedia

It appears Jones wants nothing more than to get elected to something again - anything.

True but he may put on a show for the trump rubes and cause Kemp trouble through out the campaign.

It just a fundraising grift which could hobble Kemp.

Well this is nothing new. Ted has always been an asshole. I just wonder if the people in TX have figured this out?
But then I’m sure my fellow Missourians are just fine with Hawley being an asshole, same with the folks in AR with Cotton.

I wonder why anyone would cheer on their senator for being in a high dander snit all the time?

I just trying to figure why Jones waited so long to find his true home in the Republican Party?

Jones could not be elected to anything in Georgia…trust me, I lived in DeKalb Co. when he was the head of county government. He is probably one of the most corrupt politicians I have ever seen. It is quite fitting he found the republican party more suited to him.

Yes. They’ve figured out he’s their asshole.

I guess just not enough of them, and shame on the ones who think being an asshole is a good thing. They do realize that they’re paying him to be an asshole, and thus he can’t get anything done for them?

If it weren’t for Brian Kemp, Donald Trump would still be President of these United States.

Please continue the circular firing squad.

Another lie. If Georgia had gone for Trump, Biden still would have won the electoral college, 290-248.
