Georgia Democrat rep who endorsed Trump resigns after backlash: report
![]()
Democrati state Rep. Vernon Jones told The Rashad Richey Morning Show, a talk show in Atlanta, that despite his resignation he would not be leaving the Democrat Party because
"Somebody's got to be in there to hold them accountable -- hold them accountable to how they are treating black people [and] root out the bigotry."
"Turn the lights off, I have left the plantation," Someone else can occupy that suite. Therefore, I intend not to complete my term effective April 22, 2020."
Democrat parties in both counties planned to censure Jones for the Trump endorsement, according to the Journal-Constitution.
Jones, after his original endorsement, told the paper that
"President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign."
State Sen. Nikema Williams, chairwoman of the state Democrat Party, issued a statement soon after Jones' endorsement of Trump calling Jones an “embarrassment,” adding, Jones “does not stand for our values.”
Jones tweeted:
"I’ve seen more Democrats attack me for my decision to endorse @realdonaldtrump than ask me why," he said. "They’ve used and abused folks in my community for far too long, taking our votes for granted. Black Americans are waking up. An uprising is near."
"I don't care what the Democrat Party does to me -- What are they going to do? Spank me?"
He continued:
"More African-Americans, prior to this pandemic, were working more than any other time in my lifetime."
In a final tweet, Jones said:
"The left hates me because they can't control me. They can stay mad."
I intend to help the Democrat Party get rid of its bigotry against Black people that are independent and conservative,”
“I endorsed the White guy (Donald J. Trump) that let Blacks out of jail, and they endorsed the White guy (Joe Biden) that put Blacks in jail."

Contextually, he spoke correctly.Any Democrat who calls his own party the 'Democrat Party' instead of Democratic Party deserves to be out.

Your comment alone proves his point.
I know it's a slur, hence my word contextual, because when he said it, he asked sarcastically, 'what are they going to do to me, spank me??''Democrat Party' is a slur that was introduced into the political lexicon in the 1990s by Rush Limbaugh. Contextual?? Bullshit.
If he can't say the 'Democratic Party', he needs to find another job.
