FLOVILLA — Why should GOP primary voters vote for Lt. Gov. Burt Jones to be Georgia’s next governor over Attorney General Chris Carr or another candidate who may emerge between now and May’s party primary?
For several speakers at Jones’ official campaign kick-off in Flovilla last week, Jones’ loyalty to President Donald Trump shows he is the right person for the job. Jones – who celebrated receiving Trump’s endorsement last month – is so loyal to the president that he tried to help Trump win the 2020 election even after he already lost it, said now-U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach.
Five years and multiple investigations and court cases later, nobody has been charged with rigging the 2020 election in Georgia or any other state.
“We saw boxes being stuffed,” Beach said. “We saw all this, and we got all these complaints, and so we started asking questions. And we wanted a special session, we wanted to get down to the bottom of it, and that’s when I learned this man has backbone and courage. And I will tell you, we both got punished. We lost our chairmanships, but we never wavered. He never wavered.”
