Georgia GOP in Chaos: Shocking Betrayals, Power Struggles, and a Party on the Brink!

In this explosive episode of The Georgia Hour hosted by BKP on Voice of Rural America, the focus is on the turmoil within the Georgia Republican Party, as revealed during a recent state committee meeting conducted via Zoom. BKP dives into the critical issues facing the party, with a particular emphasis on the ongoing Public Service Commission (PSC) races, early voting, and internal conflicts that threaten the GOP's influence in Georgia.

BKP begins by addressing the PSC races, warning that the potential loss of two Republican-held seats could shift control to Democrats, opening a "floodgate of money" that might influence future races, including the governor’s race and the U.S. Senate race against Jon Ossoff. He highlights the historical shift of the PSC from Democratic to Republican control, starting with Doug Everett’s election in 2002, and expresses concern that the commission is now at risk of flipping back due to voter dissatisfaction with rising power bills and perceived mismanagement. BKP stresses the importance of mobilizing rural voters to protect these seats, as municipal elections are likely to drive Democratic turnout in cities.

The episode takes a dramatic turn as BKP calls out Debbie Dooley, a prominent grassroots figure, accusing her of "selling out" to Governor Brian Kemp. He references a recent event where Dooley appeared with Derek Dooley (no relation), a U.S. Senate candidate, at a protest outside Jon Ossoff’s office, holding a sign reading "Georgians are suffering." BKP sarcastically dubs her "Suffering Dooley," suggesting her alignment with Kemp is a betrayal of the grassroots movement. He contrasts this with Congressman Mike Collins, also running for Senate, who he claims received no media coverage for a similar protest, despite his active engagement with voters across GOP events.

BKP further criticizes the Georgia Republican Party’s leadership, particularly Chairman Josh McKoon and his associates. He argues that the party is in "shambles," lacking funds and donor support, and accuses Kemp of deliberately weakening the party after being booed off a stage years ago. The episode also touches on a Gainesville mayoral race, where BKP alleges Kemp is backing a candidate to challenge Congressman Andrew Clyde, a Trump-supporting Republican, in the 9th District.

The podcast delves into internal party disputes, including efforts to ban members like David Cross for challenging the party’s actions. BKP recounts a controversial state convention where he claims the process was manipulated, preventing delegate participation and favoring certain candidates. He also mentions Vernon Jones, a former Democrat-turned-Republican, who is now running for Secretary of State, and questions how his candidacy might impact the GOP’s voter base.
Throughout, BKP’s tone is fiery and confrontational, blending sharp criticism with colorful insults aimed at party insiders. He urges listeners to stay vigilant, support Republican candidates in the PSC races, and resist what he sees as a corrupt establishment within the Georgia GOP. The episode is a rallying cry for grassroots conservatives to take back their party and protect Georgia’s Republican stronghold.
