Explosive GOP Civil War: Georgia Republicans Plot Purges

In this fiery episode of The Georgia Hour on Voice of Rural America, host BKP delivers a blistering takedown of the Georgia Republican Party's deepening internal chaos ahead of a pivotal state committee meeting on October 13, 2025. Kicking off with praise for his loyal audience, BKP dives into the financial disarray plaguing the party under Chairman Josh McKoon, who faces mounting legal bills from three indemnified defendants in Fani Willis's RICO case—David Schaefer, Shawn Still, and Kathy Latham—totaling a massive drain on resources. Despite excuses, BKP slams McKoon for mismanaging the party into a "financial mess," contrasting it with grassroots efforts.

The spotlight falls on Dennis Futch, the Pickens County GOP chairman and the party's largest donor (allegedly $80,000 last year), whom BKP brands "Boss Hog" and a self-appointed "Voter Task Force Chairman"—a made-up title to soothe Futch's ego after threats to withhold funding. Futch's aggressive response to a Pickens County executive committee letter exemplifies the infighting: the letter demands ousting the "Frost family" and unifying for 2026 elections, but Futch retaliates by belittling counties and pushing two resolutions at tonight's Zoom state committee meeting. These include permanently expelling BKP, former Second Vice Chair David Cross, and allies for disputing convention fees via chargebacks—actions BKP admits to, framing them as justified after a "rigged" Dalton convention where delegates like him were blocked from participating despite paying $250 fees.
BKP recounts the convention's manipulations: withheld delegate lists, rejected candidate résumés (e.g., Lisa Pierce and Kylie Kremer), and physical barriers like microphones being blocked by Frost allies, including a groomsman from Brent Frost's wedding. He accuses the party of fraudulently forcing outcomes, echoing widespread knowledge of the "rigged" vote that ousted Cross in June. A separate RNC complaint, spearheaded by Cross, highlights financial and reputational harm from these disputes, but BKP flips the script, calling out the party's hypocrisy—especially the untouchable "Frost family," linked to $140 million in alleged schemes (referencing a Ponzi scandal where Georgia seniors lost life savings).

Deepening the drama, BKP unveils a web of personal ties binding McKoon's inner circle to the Frosts: wedding photos show Brent Frost's nuptials attended by McKoon, Sally Grubbs, Mike Crane (convention co-chair), and Nathaniel Darnell (recently fired from First Liberty Building & Loan over improprieties). Even Darnell's wedding features Frost as best man, painting a picture of cronyism. BKP mocks resolutions demanding "unity" and private disagreements—ones that can't dictate to independent county or district parties—while ignoring the "embarrassment" caused by McKoon's crew, whom he likens to communists and dictators cozying up to politicians for "checks falling off the table."

Touching on broader rifts, BKP notes a push to block Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from qualifying as a Republican (deemed "repugnant" to the party brand) and a counter-resolution for a "truce" with the MAGA wing, led by Georgia Republican Assembly chair Alex Johnson. He boasts his own election integrity creds—civil suits against Raffensperger and Chris Carr, work on SB 189 and SB 202—mirroring Cross's self-funded data analysis proving Trump won Georgia in 2020.
