A Georgia Democrat State Representative who recently said he was resigning following backlash from an endorsement of President Trump is reversing course.
According to The Daily Wire:
“Yesterday, I announced my intentions to resign from my office,” he wrote, captioning a video posted to Twitter. “But shortly thereafter, the outpour of support I received was too great for me to ignore. I will not allow the Democrats to bully me into submission. I will not let them win. I will NOT resign. #[Make America Great Again].”
“Recently, I endorsed Donald J. Trump for his campaign reelection,” Jones said in the video. “But little did I know that I would receive such a barrage of attacks and name calling by the far-Left and the Democratic Party.”
“And yesterday, I had announced that I would not be completing my term, but then, when I started receiving the overwhelming amount of support and outcry from the people that I represent … every walk of life, every age, every color, every party. That was emotional, that was motivational,” he continued.
“I thought about it, and I talked to my family, and I talked to my supporters, because what you did for me, I’m gonna remain on the battlefield,” the Georgia Democrat added. “I’m going to complete my term, I’m gonna continue to put my country before my party, and I’m gonna do everything I can to help Donald J. Trump get elected because he’s the man for this job, he’s the man for this office.”
Jones continues to push forward and it looks like he is fully embracing the controversy surrounding him.
