GA GOP Turmoil: Divisions, AI Laws, and Calls to DOGE the Party

This seg­ment high­lights deep divi­sions with­in the Geor­gia GOP, with Josh McK­oon as chair claim­ing uni­ty amid fac­tions like the GRA, Free­dom Cau­cus, and Elec­tion Integri­ty groups. Deb­bie Doo­ley staunch­ly defends McK­oon, notably after an AI-gen­er­at­ed video inci­dent tar­get­ing Sophia Farooq’s cam­paign. Ini­tial­ly against AI restric­tions, Doo­ley now backs SB9—passed 152–12 to curb decep­tive AI in campaigns—potentially to charge Farooq, who faced attacks after a fake Trump endorse­ment video. Free­dom Cau­cus mem­bers Mal­lo­ry Sta­ples and Charlise Byrd, plus BKP, oppose SB9, unlike Doo­ley. McK­oon touts 2024 wins, includ­ing Trump’s elec­tion, but is crit­i­cized for not ful­ly sup­port­ing Trump’s agen­da, like elec­tion secu­ri­ty state­ments. Calls to “DOGE” the GA GOP Inc. inten­si­fy, with demands for an audit. A bal­lot dis­crep­an­cy involv­ing Lisa Pierce’s exclu­sion adds to the unrest.

• There has to be some­thing that Deb­bie would not stop of who she is going against or sep­a­rate rela­tion­ships. We have the GRA, estab­lish­ment, Free­dom Cau­cus, Elec­tion Integri­ty side of GA, the grifters/storm chancers. Now Josh McK­oon of the GA GOP Inc is the great uni­fi­er but the repub­li­can par­ty is very divid­ed. Deb­bie Doo­ley has been very vocal that she is doing all she can to defend Josh McK­oon. 
• The day that Sophia Farooq announced her cam­paign, some­one intro­duced a video that was AI gen­er­at­ed. Deb­bie and Salleigh are pic­tured cel­e­brat­ing over the defeat of a very good can­di­date, Sophia Farooq. The attacks came after the AI gen­er­at­ed video of Don­ald Trump say­ing some­thing very nice about Sophia Farooq. If Deb­bie and Salleigh had their way they would put Sophia in jail. 
• Did some­one send some encour­age­ment to Deb­bie in her lat­est post? Last year she opposed leg­is­la­tion putting restric­tions on AI involv­ing cam­paigns, now she sup­ports it in SB9 after play­ing the Farooq video. Now if this law was in place Deb­bie could bring charges against Sophia. There are penal­ties and pos­si­ble jail time involved in the charges. 
• Now Mal­lo­ry Sta­ples in the Free­dom Cau­cus is say­ing NO on SB9. Charlise Byrd oppos­es. BKP is a no on this bill. Deb­bie Doo­ley is a yes.  GA house advances bill tar­get­ing decep­tive AI in polit­i­cal cam­paigns. SB9 pass­es 152–12. 
• Josh McK­oon brags about win­ning the elec­tion in 2024 and elect­ing Don­ald trump. But he does not go a step for­ward and sup­port Don­ald Trump’s agen­da and state­ments. For exam­ple the GA GOP should have writ­ten a state­ment on the same day that Don­ald Trump laid out the expec­ta­tions in secur­ing our elec­tions. The mes­sage should have been to sup­port the agen­da. Just like there should be a state­ment on free­dom of speech. 
• Josh has full con­trol. We have to DOGE the GA GOP Inc. Josh will say that it is a scare tac­tic to do a full audit of the GA GOP Inc. He will go around to tell you that he gave the exec­u­tive com­mit­tee the oppor­tu­ni­ty to do the audit but the vote was after a speech on all the poi­son of doing the audit. 
• There is a dis­crep­an­cy in the num­ber of can­di­dates on the GOP State Board. Lisa Pierce qual­i­fied in time and needs to get to the bot­tom of why she is not on the bal­lot.
