Georgia GOP’s Decline: McKoon, Shaffer, and the Struggle for Election Integrity

This seg­ment focus­es on the lead­er­ship of Josh McK­oon and his role in the decline of the Geor­gia GOP. While claim­ing cred­it for Trump’s vic­to­ry, McK­oon is crit­i­cized for fail­ing to help win key elec­tions, and Geor­gia has seen sig­nif­i­cant loss­es in the State House under his tenure. The seg­ment also touch­es on the prob­lem­at­ic his­to­ry of Geor­gia GOP lead­er­ship, includ­ing David Shaf­fer­’s influ­ence and legal issues. McK­oon’s recent push for elec­tion integri­ty mea­sures is seen as a polit­i­cal move, with ques­tions raised about his true moti­va­tions and con­nec­tions to Bri­an Kemp’s fac­tion. The loss­es of 19 State House seats, 5 State Sen­a­tors, and 2 U.S. Sen­a­tors are cit­ed as evi­dence of failed lead­er­ship over the past five years.

• Rebec­ca Yard­ley ran against Josh McK­oon on the plat­form to audit the GA GOP. It doesn’t mat­ter who comes out to endorse Josh McK­oon re-elec­tion cam­paign, he is a dic­ta­tor and a bad man, he doesn’t have to ask any­one for any­thing. He can write a check with­out ask­ing, he can enter into a con­tract with any­one in the coun­try and bind the GA GOP to the con­tract, he does­n’t have to tell any­one about it. He doesn’t have to tell the board about the con­tract or any­thing unless he allows it. He did not do any­thing to help get Trump elect­ed and wants to take cred­it for the win. But GA just lost 2 seats in the State House. David Shaf­fer gave Josh McK­oon the job, and David Shaf­fer is a good man. The GA GOP has not been effec­tive for years. 
• The GA GOP his­to­ry of decline. 
• If we went back and inves­ti­gat­ed every doc­u­ment, bank account and trans­ac­tion through David Shaf­fers admin­is­tra­tion, we could find some­thing. David Shaf­fer got indict­ed by Fani Willis but he is not a hero. 
• Three weeks after the leg­isla­tive ses­sion Josh McK­oon put out a list of elec­tion integri­ty items that he is try­ing to pass through the leg­is­la­ture know­ing full well that Bri­an Kemp has said not to put any elec­tion bills on his desk. He is going around the state pre­tend­ing to work on elec­tion integri­ty. Where is the state­ment on what Brad Raf­fensperg­er has said yes­ter­day? 
• Keep in mind that McK­oon is a rift repair­er. He is 100% Bri­an Kemp rift repair­er along with Kan­diss Tay­lor, Salleigh Grubbs, and Mar­ci McCarthy. Why would McK­oon want to stay put in a vol­un­teer job pass­ing up a RNC posi­tion? 
• Don’t for­get we have lost 19 State House seats, 5 State sen­a­tors, and 2 US Sen­a­tors. That is 4 years under David Shaf­fer and 1 year under Josh McK­oon.
