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.

Ive watched countless videos of Trump supporters getting attacked in the streets simply due to their support of @realDonaldTrump. Lets call this what this is: a hate crime. And as we return to the legislature next week, Ill be introducing legislation thatll make it such.
Yesterday, I announced my intentions to resign from my office. 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. #MAGA https://t.co/gR2MsU5Rb3
Im a Georgia State Representative and lifelong Democrat. But in this election, Ill be casting my vote for @realdonaldtrump. I didnt leave the Democratic Party. The Party left me. #MAGA #KAG #WalkAway https://t.co/BUs4kRZ7JG
I refuse to allow a bunch of ANTIFA affiliated thugs to come to my beloved city of Atlanta and burn it to the ground, under the guise of #BlackLivesMatter. They dont give a damn about black lives. They only care about DESTRUCTION.
I was ambushed leaving the White House by a left-wing mob for proudly supporting @realDonaldTrump. I wont watch my country be destroyed by @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer and radical Democrats. @CNN @MSNBC @cbs @NBCNews @ABC @washingtonpost My response: https://t.co/MhjzPSqEkE
THREAD:�I refuse to remain silent. My name is Vernon Jones, I am an outgoing State Representative in Georgia, a lifelong Democrat and the newest member of the Republican Party. (1/9)
Ive seen more Democrats attack me for my decision to endorse @realDonaldTrump than ask me why. Theyve used and abused folks in my community for far too long, taking our votes for granted. Black Americans are waking up. An uprising is near.
I went on MSNBC and they accused me of being a sell-out. The Left is so racist that they think the only way a black man will think for himself is hes paid? Im tired of the bigotry. @realDonaldTrump - Ive got your back! https://t.co/MbftgawuLV
The way the Democrat Party has treated me this past week has made one thing clear: they are the bigots they claim to hate and I wont be silent about it. https://t.co/9kE9kcfWKS
