The Kemp-Dooley cash corruption loop, Collins staff woes & Keisha & Jon rally
The Ron Show airs weekdays at 8am and 4pm on Georgia NOW
Last Thursday, WXIA-TV’s Doug Richards reported on findings that showed a bit of a taxpayer cash corruption loop showing itself between Governor Brian Kemp and the Dooley family, where Brine influenced upwards of $27 million in school safety contracts, taking donations from Daniel Dooley and funneling it back to Daniel’s brother Derek Dooley’s Senate campaign.
Meanwhile, Mike Collins had to cut ties (finally!) with Congressional staffer and campaign manager Brandon Phillips after a social media comment calling a Dooley staffer “Matt Lauer’s sloppy seconds” and “a Yankee with poor judgment in women and GA politics.” That Dooley staffer – Brooke Nevils, came forward recently alleging being raped by former the former NBC and TODAY show host Matt Lauer and revealed attempting suicide afterwards.
I mean, sure it’s low, but Phillips LIVES “low.” As Patricia Murphy pointed out in her AJC op/ed, Phillips has been involved in bar fights and dog-kicking allegations. He’s scum, but he’s popular GOP scum, having ties to GOP gubernatorial hopeful Rick Jackson and Rep. Clay Fuller from Georgia’s 14th Congressional district, along with lieutenant gubernatorial hopeful Sen. Greg Dolezal.
Meanwhile, the joint campaign appearance with former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Senator Jon Ossoff stood in stark contrast at the Tabernacle Sunday, giving both candidates an opportunity to tee off on those scandals and on the current state ot Trump 2.0. I have both speeches in the show to review.
