Republican county chairwoman arrested in Jan. 6 investigation

One of the Georgians arrested last week on charges of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot is a local Republican Party official, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has learned.

Mandy Robinson-Hand and her husband, Charles Hand III, were arrested Friday by the FBI and charged with four misdemeanors related to their alleged entry into the Capitol alongside hundreds of others in the pro-Trump crowd. Robinson-Hand is listed as chairwoman of the Taylor County Republican Party on the website of the Georgia Republican Party and her Facebook page shows she was involved in local politics in the Middle Georgia county.

The evening before her March 11 arrest, Robinson-Hand advertised a political fundraiser for congressional candidate Wayne Johnson on her Facebook page.

“I’ve heard him speak at a Meet and Greet in Macon County last month,” she wrote. “This primary election will be difficult for me. I’m still undecided on most.”

Taylor county is sparsely populated, but like anywhere else it has its share of self-important blowhards.
Welcome to the big leagues, Mandy.
