Unsurprising for the AJC, the sub head, “State Democrats quickly disown Vernon Jones”, is bigger than the headline.

Also unsurprising is Greg Blustein (D-AJC, 4th Estate) getting a quote from Scott Holcomb. He’s a likely future Dem statewide candidate, maybe governor.

Next article will state “former” Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones was reached at his driveway where he was visibly exhausted from a day of loading his belongings into a UHaul.

He told us:
I may not have a job, or any colleagues, or any friends in this city any longer, and no family or relatives who will speak to me, but serving my constituents was a prideful thing for me while it lasted.

The minorities in the Democrat Party are the decent ones. It’s the whites in that party who are the radical leftists.

Or he can stand tall as a Democrat who has morals and integrity and be a beacon to other like Democrats who have been hesitant to be the first. Would be nice to see them all walk away from the commies.

Speaking as someone who has to transcribe and, thus, listen to minority Democrats like Sheila Jackson Lee, Al Green, the rodeo clown broad with the cowboy hats, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Clay of Missouri, Neguse of Colorado, Meeks of New York, Pressley, Hank “Guam” Johnson, and John Lewis, I can say they are NOT decent.

Yes, ma’am, you are correct. Many of the people you identify are elected from majority minority districts. They do not face meaningful competition, not even from within their party. They pretty much view society as a store to be looted, like during a so-called race riot. The radical element of the Democrat Party wants to legalize shop-lifting, which merely decriminalizes spontaneous crime. Why not, when they favor the organized crime of redistribution through government. On the other hand, increasing numbers of minorities have socially-conservative values and some are even developing economically-conservative values. They constitute the moderates within the Democrat Party.
