Georgia GOP’s Push to Suppress MAGA and Grassroots Influence

An orches­trat­ed effort to “RINO-fy” and “de-MAGA-fy” the Geor­gia GOP involves dark mon­ey and estab­lish­ment tac­tics. Coop­er Whit­mire, a Turn­ing Point USA employ­ee and 9th dis­trict res­o­lu­tion com­mit­tee chair, is linked to these efforts, despite claims of vol­un­teer roles. The estab­lish­ment secured vic­to­ries in the 9th and 14th dis­tricts, with Stephen Aaron and Jim Tul­ly as chairs, while Josh McK­oon, backed by the AJC, is accused of sidelin­ing MAGA to sup­port Bri­an Kemp’s 2028 pres­i­den­tial ambi­tions. A 9‑page NDA restricts can­di­dates, pro­tect­ing McKoon’s slate. Grass­roots wins, like David Oles’ reelec­tion in the 11th dis­trict and Richard Jordan’s vic­to­ry in the 7th, show resilience, bol­stered by hand-count­ed paper bal­lots in sev­er­al dis­tricts. Despite estab­lish­ment tac­tics to demor­al­ize grass­roots efforts, includ­ing quo­rum dis­rup­tions and McKoon’s straw poll exit, the grass­roots can still pre­vail with per­sis­tent effort, though the fight remains chal­leng­ing.

• There was an attempt to RINO-fy and de-MAGA-fy the Geor­gia GOP. The key is to fol­low the mon­ey. Coop­er Whit­mire, turn­ing point employ­ee. They will tell you all these posi­tions are vol­un­teer. There are some dark mon­ey out there to be aware of. Coop­er Whit­mire was chair of the res­o­lu­tion com­mit­tee for the 9th dis­trict. 
• Con­grat­u­la­tions to David Oles, 11th dis­trict, he won reelec­tion. Richard Jor­dan has won in the 7th dis­trict, Deb­bie Doo­ley was on the attack of Richard Jor­dan. The new chair of the 14th dis­trict with Jim Tul­ly. Estab­lish­ment won the 14th and the 9th dis­trict. Jim Tul­ley has cam­paigned against David Oles under the direc­tion of Josh McK­oon. 
• Way to go! The sec­ond, eleventh, and four­teenth dis­trict all did paper bal­lots, hand count­ed. 
• Michael What­ley was in town in the 9th dis­trict, Josh is par­tic­i­pat­ing in get­ting rid of MAGA in the dis­trict. 
• There is an attempt to make the grass­roots feel like there is not a chance to win. At the con­ven­tion David gave a real­ly good speech Sat­ur­day at the con­ven­tion. But the estab­lish­ment is brag­ging that Josh McK­oon walked away from the straw poll this week­end. The AJC favor­ing Josh McK­oon. Josh is part of the plan to de-MAGA-fy Amer­i­ca. Josh is part of the plan for Bri­an Kemp to run for pres­i­dent in 2028. McK­oon will not cam­paign on elec­tion fraud because they are work­ing to sep­a­rate from Don­ald Trump. 
• We have the 9 page NDA. Josh is pro­tect­ing him­self and Salleigh and his slate. Not all the can­di­dates can ask for a vote because they are being required to sign a 9 page legal doc­u­ment that could destroy them if they do some­thing that the GOP deems ille­gal.
• It is very pos­si­ble for the Grass­roots to win. It is a lot of work but it is pos­si­ble.
