1. I explained to @RepVernonJones, GOP candidate for #Georgia Governor, why tweeting Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Nazi murderer Josef Mengele is offensive. Jones had tweeted @Mediaite reporting of Logan's comparison. He deleted his tweet. Screenshots below

Vernon Jones, Republican candidate for Georgia Governor, deleted his tweet, as I requested. He had tweeted @Mediaite reporting about Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Josef Mengele to substantiate his criticism of Fauci.

One additional message from Vernon Jones. We can agree to disagree about Dr. Fauci's role. But seems we are in agreement that there is no place for Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Nazi Josef Mengele.

Vernon Jones, a pro-Trump Republican running for Governor of Georgia, DM'd me yesterday, saying he wants to "keep it public, not DM's"

I had asked Jones to delete his tweet with link to Fox host Lara Logan's comparison of Dr. Fauci to Nazi Josef Mengele. Jones deleted his tweet
