Republicans Are Race-Baiting a Republican
The NRSC goes after Doug Collins for the crime of hanging around Black people.
Rep. Doug Collins is a Georgia Republican, and as the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee he was one of President Trumps most vociferous defenders during the impeachment saga. Hes running for Senate now. Standing in his way is Sen. Kelly Loeffler, a Republican businesswoman appointed to the seat in December when her predecessor stepped down with health issues.
The two will square off in November in what has become a bitter fight pitting various factions of the Republican political machine against each other, with both sides claiming that the anti-Trump swamp is thwarting their efforts.
Theres little doubt where the National Republican Senatorial Committee stands. On Thursday the group released an ad slamming Collins for the crime of
hanging around Black people:
The charges here, if you cant bring yourself to watch, are that Collins says hes friends with Stacey Abrams and Hakeem Jeffries, and that he once shook Barack Obamas hand. You dont exactly need Bletchley Park to crack this code. The ad makes Lee Atwater look subtle.

Now, Georgia already has a Republican in that position and Collins is going against the party by challenging her.
That proves that in addition to being a right-wing maniac and a jackass of epic proportions, he's also not a team player. And that's just unacceptable.
