The Georgia Hour, episode 66: Grassroots Fight to Reclaim the Georgia GOP from Establishment Control

This pod­cast dis­cuss­es the grass­roots move­ment to reform the Geor­gia Repub­li­can Par­ty (GAGOP), accus­ing it of being over­tak­en by estab­lish­ment fig­ures like Gov­er­nor Bri­an Kemp and Chair­man Josh McK­oon, who alleged­ly seek to “de-MAGA” the par­ty. It high­lights the upcom­ing dis­trict con­ven­tions across Georgia’s 14 dis­tricts, focus­ing on North Georgia’s 7th, 9th, 11th, and 14th dis­tricts, which are seen as con­ser­v­a­tive strong­holds resist­ing estab­lish­ment con­trol. McK­oon is crit­i­cized for not ful­fill­ing his promise to remove “Inc” from the par­ty name, while his ally, Salleigh Grubbs, is linked to Cobb County’s shift toward Democ­rats. The pod­cast claims the estab­lish­ment is tar­get­ing con­ser­v­a­tive dis­trict chairs like David Oles and Richard Jor­dan to con­sol­i­date pow­er. It also accus­es Deb­bie Doo­ley of aban­don­ing Trump sup­port to back estab­lish­ment can­di­date Stephen Aaron in the 9th dis­trict, despite her past MAGA advo­ca­cy. Con­cerns are raised about a restric­tive 9‑page NDA issued by the GAGOP, alleged­ly to lim­it del­e­gate access and inter­fere with elec­tions. The pod­cast urges the Geor­gia Repub­li­can Assem­bly (GRA) to with­draw McKoon’s endorse­ment and empha­sizes the need to stop estab­lish­ment can­di­dates to pro­tect con­ser­v­a­tive val­ues and ensure true Repub­li­can rep­re­sen­ta­tion

• WE are work­ing to drain the GOP swamp and clean up the GA GOP Inc and return it to the peo­ple. We want our repub­li­can law­mak­ers to acknowl­edge the par­ty once again. Bri­an Kemp the gov­er­nor made changes where the law­mak­ers do not recog­nise the par­ty again. The true grass­roots are work­ing to take it back. If we don’t take back the chances of get­ting our rep­re­sen­ta­tives to pay atten­tion to the peo­ple it may be the end. 
• This week­end is our dis­trict con­ven­tion, we have 14 dis­tricts.  Josh McK­oon is the chair­man and he made the cam­paign promise that he would remove the Inc from the par­ty, but he has not. His run­ning mate Salleigh Grubbs who has the only metro coun­ty that went more blue in the last elec­tion. The estab­lish­ment has been try­ing to con­quer the North GA dis­tricts. They have already con­quered the 14th. They are work­ing on the 7th, 9th and 11th. They are try­ing to take the chair from David Oles, a con­ser­v­a­tive and give it to Melanie Cow­art. They are try­ing to take the 7th from Richard Jor­dan. If they can take the 4 dis­tricts in North Geor­gia the estab­lish­ment will own the state. These 4 dis­tricts were the strongest oppo­nents to Bri­an Kemp. They are try­ing to de-MAGA the par­ty and de-MAGA Geor­gia. There is a lot of Trump bag­gage in Geor­gia. 2016 Trump won the elec­tion. 2018 Trump had a prob­lem with Kemp when John­ny Issac­son, in 2018 it was decid­ed that Trump would not win the 2020 elec­tion in Geor­gia. Kemp has not liked Trump in a long time. But Trump is very strong in the 7, 9, 11, and 14. Trump got involved in the pri­ma­ry in 2022 against the estab­lish­ment. The best way to de-MAGA Geor­gia is to attack the most con­ser­v­a­tive part of the state. The GRA should imme­di­ate­ly pull their endorse­ment of Josh McK­oon because of their con­ser­v­a­tive val­ues they have in their paper­work is not Josh McK­oon. If they can just get rid of Trump in the 9th dis­trict, the cov­et­ed prize. 
• Deb­bie Doo­ley has sold out Don­ald Trump. 
• Michael What­ley is com­ing to the 9th dis­trict Fri­day night. Why are they fight­ing so hard to get the 9th dis­trict? They want to de-MAGA the coun­try. YOu will say that Michael What­ley is Trump endorsed. Now Stephen Aaron has worked for the par­ty for a long time. He is from Gilmer Coun­ty. He does not sup­port his own coun­ty GOP. Why is Deb­bie so inter­est­ed in the 9th dis­trict? Now in her endorse­ment for Stephen Aaron she nev­er men­tions that he is MAGA or Amer­i­ca First. Deb­bie used to real­ly dis­like Stephen Aaron. Deb­bie Doo­ley knows Stephen Aaron and is push­ing an estab­lish­ment can­di­date against Don­ald Trump. 
• Deb­bie sends an email out this morn­ing. She wants you to leave Don­ald Trump, leave MAGA and join her in sup­port­ing the estab­lish­ment, Stephen Aaron. Stephen was a page for Sen­a­tor Ral­ston in 2005. He is a life long politi­cian. Stephen’s first cam­paign man­ag­er for Ralston’s 2014 re-elec­tion cam­paign. Where are his MAGA cre­den­tials? Deb­bie Doo­ley does not sup­port Don­ald Trump. She now sup­ports Bri­an Kemp. She goes on to say that by sup­port­ing Bri­an Park­er in the 9th dis­trict you will get the GRA’s Account­abil­i­ty Rule. We are tired of the democ­rats buy­ing the R and run­ning under the repub­li­can name and win­ning elec­tions. Real repub­li­cans want to stop the destruc­tion of our coun­ties by these estab­lish­ment can­di­dates. 
• When Salleigh Grubbs was chair and Sophia Farooq was a vol­un­teer and ran her precinct and attend­ed the meet­ings, noth­ing was said. But when Sophia Farooq want­ed to run for chair, they hunt­ed for Mary Clarice Hath­away, not a res­i­dent of Cobb coun­ty or the State. Deb­bie does a char­ac­ter assas­si­na­tion of Sophia Farooq and after the elec­tion Deb­bie runs to cel­e­brate with Salleigh Grubbs on the elec­tion of Mary Clarice. 
• Deb­bie doesn’t attack Bri­an Park­er for being a Trump sup­port­er, being MAGA. 
• GA GOP sent out a 9 page NDA to get access to the del­e­gates, the vot­ers, email address­es and phone num­bers. No one is going to sign this doc­u­ment, it is a vol­un­teer posi­tion. They are inter­fer­ing with an elec­tion. 
• Salleigh Grubbs is cry­ing that David Cross doesn’t have a plan for the 1st vice chair. David Cross wants a del­e­gate list and will send the plan to win in 2026 direct­ly to the del­e­gates. The last NDA in 2023 was a one page doc­u­ment, today it is a 9‑page NDA.
