Rumors Swirl in Georgia After Elderly Congressman Disappears From Public Eye
American Greatness ^ | 10/31/2022 | Debra Heine

“Weekend at Bernie’s” rumors are swirling in Georgia as an elderly Democrat congressman runs for reelection without debating his Republican rival, or campaigning.

Rep. David Scott, 77, has made no public appearance in the past month, and some Republicans are now wondering if he’s even alive.

Scott was last seen in public at a Financial Services Committee hearing in Washington D.C. on September 21.

Two videos featuring the congressman were posted on his YouTube channel in October, but it’s not clear when they were recorded. The latest one on October 28 shows Scott delivering remarks on the Inaugural Black Farmers Ball while sitting in front of a window with green-leaved trees in the background. However, according to Scott’s opponent, GOP candidate Caesar Gonzales, the trees in Atlanta are displaying Autumn colors right now.

Gonzales told American Greatness that he has heard from multiple Democrat sources who have told him that Scott is currently in hospice. Another source from the FBI allegedly said the congressman is “on ice in Annapolis.”

Gonzales noted it would be easy to dismiss one or two of these rumors, but since he’s heard it from six different individuals, it’s worth looking into.

According to Georgia election law, a vacancy that occurs after nomination may be filled by a substitute nomination up to ten days before the election.

It would be crazy if the voters did elect a dead congressman

If he is elected as a deadman then Kemp gets to chose his replacement.

What legal ramifications could there be if the democrats knew he was dead and didn’t tell anyone or fill the spot before the 10 day time?

Right, that is Senators, sorry.

There would have to be a special election.

“What legal ramifications could there be if the democrats knew he was dead and didn’t tell anyone or fill the spot before the 10 day time?”

Multiple choice question for sure:

a. Nobel prize for physics (was he alive or was he dead?)

b. Congressional Medal of Honor

c. Pulitzer Prize for non-reporting

d. Greta Prize for reducing the carbon footprint of Congress

;-)

If the dead can vote in America, the dead can run for office in America.

Just because a candidate has assumed room temperature does not mean he/she should be discriminated against.
