Another Democrat Leaves the Party to Become Republican

We’ve seen this happen a few times already. Democrats have given up on their own party and switched parties, coming over to the side of the Republicans.

Former Democrat State Representative Vernon Jones made the announcement on Wednesday.

“Moments ago, I announced that I am officially joining the Republican Party.

Now more than ever, the Republican Party is in desperate need of leaders that know how to fight.

I know how to fight.”

Speaking to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jones said that he has no plan to switch parties he just thinks Trump is doing a good job on certain issues.

“It’s very simple to me. President Trump’s handling of the economy, his support for historically black colleges and his criminal justice initiatives drew me to endorse his campaign,” Jones said.

“This is not about switching parties. There are a lot of African Americans who clearly see and appreciate he’s doing something that’s never been done before,” Jones added. “When you look at the unemployment rates among black Americans before the pandemic, they were at historic lows. That’s just a fact.”

Jones was especially pleased with the First Step Act and President Trump granting clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, after being lobbied to release her by Kim Kardashian.

“A generation of African American families have been devastated by draconian policies that Joe Biden supported and voted for when he served in the U.S. Senate,” Jones said in a statement to CBS 46. “A change was needed and President Trump took action.”

I hope that we see a lot more of this, but at this point, what does it even matter? There is no integrity in our elections so we have no chance of winning any longer. But there is something that we can do that makes an even bigger difference, and I’ll soon be talking about that.
