Georgia is a dumpster fire too. So many GOP politicians here serve their own interests, clinging to lobbyist money and the Governor’s purse while pretending to stand for principle.

Georgia deserves better than performative politics, donor puppets, and empty slogans. Time to clean house.

🧵 Here are just a few receipts:
🏛️ 1. Lobbyist & Dark-Money Influence

Frontline Policy Action—a “conservative” lobby group—failed to report massive ad spending backing Gov. Kemp and Lt. Gov. Jones in 2022. This triggered ethics complaints with the Georgia commission.

Yet we’re supposed to believe the real problem is the GRA because Kemp’s Frontline golden boy Cole Muzio left the GRA? 😂
💰 2. Ethics Clouds & Self-Dealing

Georgia GOP Chair Josh McKoon pockets a $228K taxpayer-funded salary with Gov Kemp as his boss while grassroots candidates were smeared, delegates’ voices silenced, and paper ballots denied at the 2025 GAGOP convention.

He’s also been accused of spending donor money on gym memberships, Brooks Brothers suits, and laundry.

But sure—grassroots reform and the @GARepAssembly are the problem.
🗳️ 3. Election Reform Neutered

The Georgia State Election Board attempted to ensure 2 + 2 = 4 in Georgia elections. Their changes were overturned.

Then HB397 was gutted by House Republicans, killing real legislative reform.

They’re stealing us blind in Georgia elections—and smiling while they do it.
🏴 4. Punishing GOP-Loyal Critics

Sen. Colton Moore, an outspoken conservative, was removed from the Georgia Senate Majority Caucus, physically dragged out of the Capitol, and later arrested—all for exposing corruption and calling out ethical compromise in his own party.

This is how Georgia Republicans treat dissent.

💸 5. The Consultant Grift

Millions in donor funds flow to the same consultant class year after year, losing elections while enriching themselves. No consequences. No accountability.

Georgia’s GOP leadership needs a wake-up call. Voters deserve officials who serve Georgia first—not their donors or party bosses.

GAGOP: The People Raised the Pig. McKoon & Frost Slaughtered It.

The 2025 GAGOP Convention Coup

🧵 1/

GAGOP Chair Josh McKoon, re-elected at the 2025 Georgia Republican Convention in Dalton, openly rejected the will of the duly elected delegates—who voted overwhelmingly to deny Brad Raffensperger ballot access as a Republican.

Let’s be clear: The GAGOP has no official membership. Georgia has no party registration, and primaries are open to anyone. The lines between Republican and Democrat are deliberately blurred—and insiders like McKoon exploit that ambiguity to cling to power.

Read more below: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻Image
🧵 2/ Read AP report here:

apnews.com/article/georgi…
🧵 3/ What happened at Convention?

• Mike Crain, a Frost family ally, was appointed Convention Chair, by Josh McKoon, without a vote.
• Rules were forced through via a motion to end debate before discussion—delegates were silenced.
• Mic access was systematically blocked by McKoon’s Goon Squad: Brant Frost V, Travis Bowden, Debbie Dooley, Courtney Cothran, Madeline Lane, and others.
• A well-organized effort, supported by more than 100 grassroots volunteers, was denied the use of Trump-endorsed paper ballots.
• Instead, clickers—whose results are completely unverifiable—were forced on the convention by McKoon and Frost.

GAGOP Convention Update:

Josh McKoon appointed Mike Crane as Convention Chair—big mistake.
Crane clearly has no idea what he’s doing. The crowd just follows the hack with a mic.

GAGOP insiders from Coweta County (Frost territory) quickly motioned to shut down discussion and adopt Convention Rules without debate.

Delegates are being led by the nose—away from Trump-endorsed paper ballots and toward more rigged procedure.

John White, the Parliamentarian, eventually had to step in just to explain the clickers.

This isn’t leadership.
It’s controlled chaos posing as order.

#GAGOP #GrassrootsTakeover #RINOMeeting #NoMoreMcKoon
Clicker Fail…

While delegates wait for technical issues to be resolved, Josh McKoon’s team conveniently inserts two additional endorsement speeches for their candidate.

We have a voting body of 1,713, yet the clicker vote counts on all three questions are well below that number.

This isn’t a convention—it’s a controlled narrative.

🎪 More GAGOP Clown Show 🤡

Katie Frost delivers the Nominating Committee report—loaded with malice toward anyone opposing the McKoon slate.
(Reminder: the committee includes Katie and her mom, Krista. Neutral? Yeah, right.)

Then Brant Frost, McKoon loyalist & brother, “nominates” David Cross for Chair—stealing the moment from someone who’d do it with true grassroots passion.

Games. Games. More Frost family games.
Always given the mic. Always rigging the moment.

🚨 McKoon’s GAGOP Executive Committee Ignores Crisis—Whistleblower Warnings Go Unanswered.
Treasurer Laurie McClain, legally liable for GAGOP finances, has been denied access to bank & credit card records for months—violating party rules & federal law.
FEC reports filed without her knowledge. Allegations of possible embezzlement.
Emergency meeting called.
McKoon’s team did nothing.
What are they hiding?

🧵5 Reasons to Vote for David Cross over Josh McKoon

1. 🗳 Election Integrity Is Non-Negotiable
David Cross has been on the frontlines fighting to restore trust in Georgia’s elections — working to ban Dominion machines, require hand-counted ballots, and eliminate black-box voting.

McKoon? Silent. Compromised. Backed by the very machine we’re trying to dismantle.
🔗 x.com/lauraloomer/st…
2. 🔒 Grassroots > Gatekeepers
Cross doesn’t answer to lobbyists or consultant cliques. He answers to you — the grassroots.

McKoon blocked reformers, stonewalled transparency, and forced 9-page NDAs to muzzle GAGOP candidates.
Cross stands for open records, open debate, and accountable leadership.

📽️ Watch:
3. 🚨 McKoon Broke His Promises
In 2023, McKoon campaigned on transparency, coalition-building, and grassroots empowerment.

Reality? He delivered zero.
He centralized power, sidelined elected officers, and failed every measurable benchmark.

🧵 THREAD: Attn GAGOP Delegates & Alternates — A Very Important Read

1/
Via @HankSullivan1 :

Last night I received a powerful message from Gary Coates. With his permission, I’m sharing it in full.
If you care about the future of the Georgia Republican Party, read every word. 👇

“If we’ve learned anything over the past 4 years, it’s this: character and integrity matter.”

Character = moral, ethical, trustworthy, selfless, honorable.
Integrity = empathy, humility, transparency.
Trump: Promises made, promises kept.
3/
Both parties have discarded character for personal gain.
Look at where it’s gotten us.

We must demand leadership with character.

In 2023, I supported Josh McKoon.
He made 7 promises. He kept zero.
Let’s review. 🧵

Wow!

Look what grassroots leader GAGOP Candidate Chair David Cross did—on his own, with an empowered team of volunteers. 🧵

1/ Thanks to a motion by Janelle Clodfelter to allow video, we now have a powerful, well-produced record of Saturday’s GRA Convention.

This is transparency. This is leadership. This is how we empower informed voters.
