Vernon Jones, a Democrat who switched parties as part of full-throated backing of the former president, said Monday that he will run for Congress instead.
“Vernon Jones is a conservative patriot who cares deeply about Georgia,” Perdue wrote in a tweet. "We need his voice and we need him in the fight. I’m proud to have his support."
Cody Hall, a spokesperson for Kemp, attacked Jones' endorsement as worthless, citing allegations that Jones had raped a woman in 2004, which Jones hotly denied, with charges later being dropped. Hall also attacked Jones on other grounds, including voting against a bill restricting abortion.
“Vernon’s support for Perdue makes sense — both have a history of paying lip service to the America First movement and putting their own egos and wallets ahead of what’s best for the people of Georgia,” Hall said.
“I look for an endorsement, and I think Vernon will make a great congressman,” Dooley said. “Trump takes care of those who are loyal to him.”
It is sad to see Vernon Jones reduced to a boot licking, lap dog flunky.
