Video of the Day: Trump-Supporting Georgia Dem Now Says He’s Staying in Office Despite Threats, Harassment
As we and others reported, Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones (D) announced that he was leaving office after being harassed by state Democrats for endorsing Donald Trump for re-election.
After that announcement, however, he changed his mind due to an outpouring of support. Now, he says he intends to stay in office.
“Yesterday, I announced my intentions to resign from my office. But shortly thereafter, the outpour of support I received was too great for me to ignore,” he wrote on Twitter. “I will not allow the Democrats to bully me into submission. I will not let them win.”
“I will NOT resign,” he added, concluding his tweet with the hashtag, #MAGA.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

There was a time I was afraid to wear my MAGA hat in public. Then I decided I was tired of being afraid, so I put it on and went to the store. I ran into 2 other people wearing theirs, and a teenager (wow) complimented my hat genuinely.
Don't live in fear.
