The Georgia Hour, episode 108: Georgia GOP Implodes: a Battle for the Soul of the Party!

Dis­cov­er the explo­sive inter­nal con­flicts tear­ing the Geor­gia Repub­li­can Par­ty apart in 2025. From Josh McKoon’s con­tro­ver­sial res­ig­na­tion from the Geor­gia Repub­li­can Assem­bly (GRA) to the pub­lic feud over Brad Raffensperger’s bal­lot eli­gi­bil­i­ty, dive into the chaos involv­ing Deb­bie Doo­ley, Kan­diss Tay­lor, and MTG in the 14th dis­trict. Learn why the AJC is ampli­fy­ing the GOP’s split, how Bud­dy Carter’s Sen­ate run has sparked a fren­zy in the 1st dis­trict, and the crit­i­cal fight to uni­fy North Georgia’s 9th and 14th dis­tricts to counter Demo­c­ra­t­ic gains in metro Atlanta and beyond. Uncov­er the strate­gies, betray­als, and pow­er strug­gles shap­ing the GA GOP’s future ahead of the 2026 elec­tions.

• Why is the par­ty get­ting ripped apart by every aspect across the state? Why would you resign and send the let­ter to the AJC. Why would the AJC get involved in the split of the par­ty? 
• There is an explo­sion in the first dis­trict with the open seat as Bud­dy Carter steps out to run for Con­gress. Tonight is the first fundrais­er for Jim Kingston and he could start tomor­row with $1M in the bank. 
• The 14th dis­trict, for some rea­son MTG has flipped the tables over. 
• Then we have the GRA. where Josh led the explo­sion there. If Josh was the first to resign, it would have died there. But what they did was get the news arti­cles and air the dirty laun­dry. 
• And like it or not Deb­bie Doo­ley sup­ports Brad Raf­fensperg­er. She sup­ports Bri­an Kemp. She has made a deal with the dev­il. 
• There has been some work in DeKalb to get some peo­ple on the bal­lot and to get peo­ple to the bal­lot box. The cir­cle of cor­rup­tion in GA GOP Inc lies in Ful­ton Coun­ty. Metro Atlanta is blue, the Savan­nah mar­ket is blue and that is why Kan­diss Tay­lor is a prob­lem because we don’t want the demo­c­rat vote to grow there, Colum­bus is blue, Macon is blue. That is why we have to make North Geor­gia strong. South GA is strong but the pop­u­la­tion is sparse in south GA. The red area of the state is north of Atlanta with the pop­u­la­tion base. The 9th and 14th are need­ed to top­ple the metro vote. We need to stop the fight­ing in the 14th and 9th dis­tricts, they have to have these dis­tricts singing kum­baya going into the elec­tion to get the vote out. Why would Josh McK­oon want to blow up the 9th and 14th. In the 14th there were a lot of coun­ties that used to be in the 9th dis­trict. There is total dis­ar­ray across the state. 
• The democ­rats had a quad coun­ty meet­ing in Union coun­ty. Char­lie Bai­ley, the demo­c­rat chair came up here. They know they prob­a­bly aren’t going to win a com­mis­sion­er, state sen­ate or house seat. They will do all they can to field a can­di­date to run against the repub­li­cans to claw into the vote and that is the way to turn the ball. In North Geor­gia that is what they are doing. So for your coun­ties that go from 80% to 70% repub­li­cans will not win. 
• John Ossoff is who we are try­ing to unseat. They are try­ing to put John in the pub­lic every­day and the AJC loves it. It was set up yes­ter­day for Ossoff to ques­tion VA Sec Doug Collins from GA. We have to have some kind of uni­fied front for this bat­tle and for some rea­son the Chair­man Josh McK­oon is lead­ing the way for some kind of explo­sion in the state. 
• When you see the explo­sion in dis­trict 1, know that McK­oon had his hand in that. And he orches­trat­ed and led the way in the rigged elec­tion of the state offi­cers. Why would you par­tic­i­pate in a pub­lic explo­sion? At the GRA Nom­i­nat­ing Con­ven­tion, Josh McK­oon knew he would destroy the GRA that day. Now Josh ran on dupli­cat­ing the Trump Force 47, but a large per­cent of the Trump Force 47 vol­un­teers were GRA mem­bers or friends of GRA mem­bers. So when you are in a war you don’t shoot your infantry. 
• Salleigh Grubbs is still a mem­ber of the GRA. She is the shit starter of Geor­gia. She will tell you how she wants every­one to unite and that she is still a mem­ber of the GRA for the good of the par­ty. If she is stay­ing in for the good of the par­ty then what good is the 150 or so that have been asked to leave. 
• Josh and Salleigh had a bad day at the GRA Nom­i­nat­ing Con­ven­tion. Every elec­tion cycle the GRA has a nom­i­na­tion com­mit­tee for the offi­cers of the state, dis­trict and coun­ty. At the GRA con­ven­tion the micro­phones were not blocked. But at our GA GOP con­ven­tion the micro­phone was blocked by the GRA mem­bers that have resigned. That day at the GRA Con­ven­tion Josh and Salleigh had a bad day. Then the Deep State called… First they have to put the plan in place. Then it comes to the con­ven­tion time. The peo­ple that are in the GRA that are now gone par­tic­i­pat­ed in the steal­ing of the elec­tion. They did this to get the most out of it and did it pub­licly. The res­o­lu­tion to keep Brad Raf­fensperg­er off the bal­lot as repub­li­can… Josh allowed it on that day, but on this day he couldn’t be a part of it. He could have stopped it that day telling the rules com­mit­tee to have to have ⅔ vote to pass but it was passed with a 40% res­o­lu­tion pass. The 40% will help cov­er up the stolen elec­tion and it will blow up in the media. Every­one that left the GRA are all ok with Brad raf­fensperg­er being on the bal­lot. Deb­bie Doo­ley has writ­ten mul­ti­ple attacks on the GRA account­abil­i­ty rule. Deb­bie Doo­ley is ok with Brad Raf­fensper­er is on the bal­lot as a repub­li­can. Josh McK­oon has made it as pub­lic as pos­si­ble putting it on the front page. Josh McK­oon does not have a plan to bring this dis­as­ter that he caused to bring the peo­ple togeth­er for 2026.
