The Georgia Hour, episode 65: The Battle for the Georgia GOP: McKoon’s Plan to Reshape the Party

A contentious struggle within the Georgia Republican Party (GOP) as Chairman Josh McKoon aims to create a “new GA GOP” by 2026, sidelining America First, MAGA, and grassroots supporters. Debbie Dooley, a former Tea Party leader, allegedly taking dark money and endorsing Stephen Aaron, who is not aligned with Trump, while attacking pro-Trump figures like David Cross, Brian Parker, and Brian Pritchard. Salleigh Grubbs, accused of manipulating a Cobb County chair election, is a McKoon’s ally, as her county turns blue. In contrast, Lisa Pierce is praised for growing her county’s GOP support. McKoon’s slate is accused of rigging elections through a restrictive 9-page NDA for delegate lists, with a $25,000 fine per infraction. The podcast alleges financial opacity, including $100,000+ spent on a watch party and payments to Kemp allies like Chris Albrecht. It claims McKoon and allies are targeting key districts to suppress grassroots patriots, urging listeners to alert RNC Chair Michael Whatley about election manipulation.
