Today, the Atlanta Press Club hosted a Republican gubernatorial run-off debate. Rick Jackson was replaced by an empty podium after he refused to participate (after his first disastrous debate performance). And standing alone on the stage, Burt Jones’ couldn’t hide from his own extreme, out-of-touch record.
In response, Democratic Party of Georgia spokesman Jake Strickland issued the following statement:
“Congratulations to the clear winner of today’s GOP gubernatorial debate: the empty podium. Unlike Burt Jones and Rick Jackson, the podium is sturdy, independent, and does not use Georgia taxpayers as a piggy bank to line its own pockets. In fact, the podium was the only one on stage not running (or should we say standing) to sell Georgia out to Donald Trump and his cost-raising agenda.”
