In a fiery, rapid-fire episode of “The Georgia Hour” on Voice of Rural America, host BKP unloads on what he calls a coordinated hit job inside the Georgia Republican Party after the AJC exposed newly hired “special advisor” Brad Barnes for a long history of antisemitic, xenophobic, and white-nationalist-adjacent social-media posts.
BKP argues the scandal is not an accident but a deliberate purge:
- Barnes was quietly brought on October 15, 2025 by Chairman Josh McKoon to “leverage technology and win elections” — right before Democrats flipped a Public Service Commission seat and, in BKP’s words, “handed Republicans our asses, double-cheek squeeze.”
- As soon as the AJC story dropped, establishment figures (Jason “Mongo” Thompson, Debbie Dooley, Katie Frost, and others) instantly piled on demanding Barnes resign or be fired — despite many of them having traveled with him, sat at the same tables, and posed for photos for years.
- BKP claims the same people screaming loudest about antisemitism now have either ignored or defended far bigger embarrassments and suggests the outrage is selective because Barnes had become a liability or a convenient scapegoat.
The host smells a deeper 2026 setup:
- He accuses Debbie Dooley of feeding the AJC the Barnes dirt as part of a Brian Kemp–Burt Jones alliance trying to kneecap potential rivals (especially Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Dooley just attacked over Israel/Gaza).
- He warns the Georgia GOP leadership is deliberately imploding the party before the crucial 2026 cycle, protecting grifters and RINOs while purging actual Trump loyalists.
The episode ends with quick hits on Gabriel Sterling running for Secretary of State, massive illegal-immigrant population numbers, new data-center battles, stormwater tax hikes, and Chris Carr’s attack ads on Burt Jones — all framed as proof the establishment is panicking and the grassroots needs to take the party back.
