The Georgia Hour, episode 81: Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon Faces Transparency Issues and The Cover Up

The Geor­gia Repub­li­can Par­ty, under Chair­man Josh McK­oon, is embroiled in con­tro­ver­sy as can­di­dates like Norine Can­tor, Lisa Pierce, and David Cross chal­lenge the sta­tus quo. McK­oon, backed by Trump, faces accu­sa­tions of run­ning a “coverup team” to con­trol del­e­gates and sup­press trans­paren­cy. He blocked dozens from a recent Zoom call, despite claim­ing open­ness, rais­ing con­cerns about del­e­gate selec­tion for the June 2026 con­ven­tion. Alle­ga­tions of per­son­al charges on GOP accounts and a lack­lus­ter cor­po­rate struc­ture review—limited to a sin­gle 10-minute meeting—fuel dis­trust. The pas­sage of SB221, enabling unlim­it­ed cor­po­rate cam­paign funds, is crit­i­cized for empow­er­ing Gov­er­nor Bri­an Kemp and sidelin­ing grass­roots vot­ers. Can­di­dates like Cross push for account­abil­i­ty, while McKoon’s ties to donors and the RNC’s $23M fund­ing are scru­ti­nized. BKP sup­ports Cross, Can­tor, McClain, and oth­ers, warn­ing against a “swamp” of lob­by­ist-dri­ven law­mak­ers and MAGA pos­tur­ing. JaQuon, a young assis­tant sec­re­tary can­di­date, is cau­tioned against being manip­u­lat­ed by McKoon’s allies. The fight for GOP lead­er­ship high­lights a broad­er bat­tle to restore pow­er to the peo­ple, chal­leng­ing a cor­rupt sys­tem tied to the governor’s office and cor­po­rate inter­ests

• Don’t get com­fort­able now. The can­di­dates are doing an amaz­ing job. Salleigh Grubbs has had to answer why her Cobb coun­ty is going back­wards and going blue. She has tripled the blue on it. Norine Can­tor is show­ing that rur­al Geor­gia can’t be for­got­ten. Lau­rie McClain is doing great show­ing the finan­cial issues. And David Cross is doing a great job push­ing Josh to talk about the GOP trou­bles. Josh McK­oon did a zoom call for his sup­port­ers. 
• Some are feel­ing good, but no com­fort lev­el. You have to dou­ble down. You have to find del­e­gates. Josh is only allow­ing the coverup team to have the del­e­gates. Last night Josh had to have a zoom meet­ing, he is doing things he nev­er thought he had to do in this cam­paign. He nev­er thought these peo­ple would have per­se­ver­ance. Josh thought he put a team togeth­er that would be the coverup team that would work to cov­er up things and slide right into the con­ven­tion to get elect­ed. Josh wants to say he is com­plete­ly trans­par­ent. He sent out to all the del­e­gates the link to the zoom call. Then cut out about a dozen peo­ple from the call. Del­e­gates across the state are get­ting the word and Josh is ner­vous. Now the cor­po­rate issue has become a slip and fall sit­u­a­tion. The coverup is that Josh is pro­tect­ing you. Josh can­not tell the truth. He will con­tin­ue to tell you the state com­mit­tee runs the body… the state com­mit­tee doesn’t do any­thing. Josh makes the deci­sions and gives the ONLY option for them to vote on. 
• You have to dou­ble down. 
• The state com­mit­tee cre­at­ed a study com­mit­tee to study the cor­po­rate struc­ture. Only 1 meet­ing for 10 min­utes. 
• So all those times when Josh would say there is lit­i­ga­tion that has to be solved before the cor­po­rate struc­ture could be looked at. When the lit­i­ga­tion went through with John Pad­gett that the GOP sealed. And that was the linch­pin in why it couldn’t be refiled with the SOS. When will the body ever get the truth on any­thing? 
• The top of the pyra­mid of cor­rup­tion is get­ting high­light­ed all the way to the gov­er­nor’s office. 
• Every time you are see­ing these endorse­ments you have to ask if they are a del­e­gate, if they aren’t a del­e­gate then why are they con­cerned? If they are so inter­est­ed in endors­ing their can­di­date then why not par­tic­i­pate? The only endorse­ment that could be accept­ed if they are not a del­e­gate would be Pres­i­dent Trump and Josh does not deserve the endorse­ment of Pres­i­dent Trump. We must restore the bal­ance of pow­er. With the GOP sit­ting below the lead­er­ship PACs putting the peo­ple at the bot­tom of the pyra­mid. We need the GOP to return the bal­ance of pow­er to the peo­ple. WE don’t need peo­ple to go along to get along. We need the peo­ple that will push against the swamp. The peo­ple that are part of the coverup team: Salleigh Grubbs, Bet­sy Kramer, Jeff D, 
• BKP is vot­ing for David Cross, Lisa Pierce, Norine Can­tor, Cindy Nixon, Lau­rie McClain, Kylie Kre­mer. 
• The assis­tant sec­re­tary is not a big job, only if the sec­re­tary is not avail­able. JaQuon is a nice young man. He did a great job in an inter­view on the show. BKP gave him warn­ings on who would want to be friends. With Deb­bie Doo­ley start­ed sup­port­ing JaQuon after Josh need­ed to recov­er from ask­ing JaQuon to get out of the race. It was caus­ing Josh prob­lems when the sto­ry sur­faced and Josh had to make a deal to cov­er up. JaQuon may not be ful­ly aware of how deep the swamp is in the pol­i­tics of Geor­gia. After the GRA con­ven­tion and he didn’t know the rules, some­one ran inter­fer­ence to get JaQuon on the show to try to reverse what hap­pened at the GRA. The warn­ing to JaQuon to not get used by the coverup team. The coverup team got the plan to have Shel­ley Wyn­ter to get JaQuon on the show fol­lowed by the endorse­ment. JaQuon allows Shel­ley to lie, call­ing peo­ple cheaters. If JaQuon would have got up and walked out of the stu­dio to not get used. Maybe if he would do the right thing but when he stayed it is clear that he is not ready to stand up against the pow­er at the top. 
• BKP is deter­mined to push back on the pow­er of the swamp. We have to have the peo­ple that are will­ing to push back against the evil to turn the tables and have the law­mak­ers lis­ten to the peo­ple. 
• Law­mak­ers are behold­en to the lob­by­ists. All the lob­by bills are passed: Tort reform, roundup pro­tec­tion, con­trol under the school safe­ty bill. They will come out say­ing they are MAGA, they sup­port­ed the Lak­en Riley act, no boys in girls sports (a God giv­en right), pro­tect­ed schools and they are the con­ser­v­a­tive voice under the Gold Dome. SB221 the mon­ey. The law­mak­ers do not have to come to the GOP to get the mon­ey. 
• They want to make you believe that if Josh is not there every­thing will fall apart. McK­oon con­tin­ues to tell you about his rela­tion­ships and his access to mon­ey, the donors. He wants you to believe his rela­tion­ships with the donors would col­lapse if he is not chair. Josh McK­oon brags that he raised $3M and we know that $23M came from the RNC. and he wants to tell you that he had trou­ble with donors because they didn’t want to pay legal bills. Bri­an Kemp nev­er gave to the par­ty. But you could direct where the dona­tion would go. MTG could raise $3M in one night for say­ing “Impeach Joe Biden”. There was a dis­cus­sion on fundrais­ing to help raise funds for the legal bills for the indictees. There could have been a large legal defense fund for the 3 indictees. Look at the mon­ey that Josh rais­es, it always comes from the same cir­cle and they are the donors. What Josh McK­oon is telling you is if he leaves, you could lose the con­trollers. Donors=Controllers. The RCCC doesn’t come to your par­ty for mon­ey. The State Sen­ate don’t come to the GOP for mon­ey, the rea­son SB221. The gov­er­nors office doesn’t have to come to the par­ty.

• Josh McK­oon should not have the endorse­ment of Don­ald Trump. Until he can come out and say that Trump won 3 elec­tions. 
• The blue-rib­bon study com­mit­tee on elec­tion pro­ce­dures, this is a slap in the face to all the elec­tion integri­ty work that has hap­pened over the past 5 years.
