The Georgia Hour, episode 75: Josh McKoon Georgia GOP Corruption: Unity or Cover-Up?

This explo­sive pod­cast episode dives into the swirling con­tro­ver­sies sur­round­ing Geor­gia Repub­li­can Par­ty Chair­man Josh McK­oon, accused of finan­cial impro­pri­eties and cor­rup­tion. BKP dis­sect­ed claims that McKoon’s push for “uni­ty” masks a cov­er-up of ques­tion­able expens­es, includ­ing per­son­al train­er fees, Scotts­dale AZ bar tabs, a tram­po­line park, home decor, and dry clean­ing, alleged­ly paid with GOP funds. Crit­ics label these as mis­use of dona­tions, with McK­oon dis­miss­ing them as acci­dents. The episode explores Trump’s recent endorse­ment of McK­oon, seen by some as a des­per­ate move amid a frac­tured base, with alle­ga­tions of pur­chased endorse­ments and large dona­tions influ­enc­ing par­ty dynam­ics. The hosts unpack McKoon’s sev­er­ance pack­age for a for­mer col­league, con­tra­dict­ing stan­dard prac­tices, and his slate’s alleged role as a “coverup team.” McKoon’s ambi­tion to run for Sec­re­tary of State is scru­ti­nized, along­side his fail­ure to push for paper bal­lots or acknowl­edge 2020 elec­tion fraud claims. The episode also touch­es on Salleigh Grubbs’ cam­paign piv­ot and Lisa Pierce’s sharp cri­tique of GOP lead­er­ship. With elec­tion integri­ty at stake, BKP ques­tioned whether McKoon’s lead­er­ship under­mines Georgia’s Repub­li­can future, urg­ing lis­ten­ers to demand trans­paren­cy and account­abil­i­ty. Tune in for a raw break­down of Georgia’s GOP tur­moil.

• The McK­oonette nev­er stop dis­cussing uni­ty. It is not uni­ty, it is code word for sum­mit, sum­mit to their cor­rup­tion. 
• Crimes have con­se­quences. We have seen Trump make unin­formed endorse­ments against the base before and when the rest of the finan­cials are released and oth­er impro­pri­eties, I am con­fi­dent the endorse­ment will not mat­ter. Trump endors­es Josh McK­oon. 
• Sev­er­al things hap­pened yes­ter­day. There are a string of endorse­ments that are pos­si­bly pur­chased or large dona­tions have come into play. Sev­er­al endorse­ments have come out from Trump for sev­er­al par­ty chairs. Josh is bleed­ing with the base. He has the zom­bies out there and they can’t attack the infor­ma­tion, only per­son­al attacks on the peo­ple. This endorse­ment is for break­ing glass in an emer­gency. They have been plan­ning on get­ting the endorse­ment for weeks. Michael What­ley was in GA, did Josh call for the endorse­ment now. 
• We have known that Josh McK­oon for ques­tion­able charges. It is all over social media and it is hurt­ing Josh and the zom­bies. Even John Fred­er­icks had to get off the air yes­ter­day from the peach pits, he had to say that there is a prob­lem in Geor­gia. 
• In Geor­gia repub­li­cans are sup­posed to unit and sur­ren­der and over­look the cor­rup­tion. 
• In the real world you do not pull out the com­pa­ny cred­it card. Thou­sands of dol­lars was used for a per­son­al train­er. In Scotts­dale AZ, Josh paid for a lot of drinks. Josh paid for a tram­po­line park, recur­ring charges. And some home decor in the town where his wife lives. Sev­er­al charges at the clean­ers. Josh is going around say­ing that it is just an acci­dent. 
• There is a rea­son why Josh has put this slate togeth­er, the coverup team. Josh does not want these ques­tions. He wants you to be a McK­oon zom­bie. They want sub­mis­sion. 
• In the real world, if you have a job for one year and you are let go and dis­missed you are told to put your stuff in a box and leave. But Josh says he worked out a sev­er­ance pack­age with attor­neys for Travis. We are being told that he left in June and got paid in July and August. 
• Salleigh Grubbs has changed her cam­paign mes­sage, she is admit­ting her mis­takes in Cobb coun­ty. She is work­ing on a prayer. She is in a mess. 
• Lisa Pierce’s 3 minute speech hit all the marks. Call­ing Salleigh as fail­ing up. Uni­ty, right Josh? 
• Josh wants to be a state offi­cer. Josh was a state sen­a­tor and gets some name recog­ni­tion. It was a run­ning joke that he would have a dif­fer­ent suit for when it went to the media for dif­fer­ent things. He want­ed to run for Sec­re­tary of State. Brad Raf­fensperg­er had a lot of mon­ey. There was a run-off between David Belle Isle and Brad Raf­fensperg­er, Josh didn’t make the run-off. Josh knows this failed cam­paign was due to mon­ey and not enough name recog­ni­tion. This time he knows GOP chairs, major donors, and he could run this time and things be dif­fer­ent and could have the mon­ey. He wants to be sec­re­tary of state. There are two ways to get paper bal­lots. This last ses­sion Josh and the GOP didn’t push the paper bal­lot bill but he says he is for them. Then you have to elect a sec­re­tary of state that on day one will decer­ti­fy the machines. The oth­er night when asked if he doesn’t win, what hap­pens to be the miss­ing piece for elec­tion integri­ty is a sec­re­tary of state can­di­date whose sole plat­form would be to decer­ti­fy the machines. Josh McK­oon will not say that the 2020 elec­tion was stolen. 
• Remem­ber this is the first year since 2020 that we have not got­ten an elec­tion integri­ty bill under Josh McK­oon. 
• Josh’s slate is his coverup team. Remem­ber JOsh is call­ing Travis’ pay­out a sev­er­ance pack­age and Travis is call­ing it a Christ­mas pay­out. 
• The GOP Inc has a can­di­date to take pic­tures with two weeks ago the chair­man was a holo­caust denier that her chil­dren called uncle stu.
