Jones is getting smoked. Sad.
Congressional candidate Vernon Jones files harassment complaint in Morgan County
District 10 Republican Congressional candidate Vernon Jones, 61, on Tuesday June 14 filed a harassment complaint with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office after his competitor, Republican Mike Collins, released a tweet with the image of a rape whistle on one screen and a partially pink painted handgun in a second screen. The words “Although some use a rape whistle for protection against sexual assault, a 9mm is the more preferred form of protection.”
“He’s encouraging violence against me, my family, my supporters,” Jones said in a Fox5 Atlanta interview. “These are the same false attacks that liberals used against President Trump, Justice Kavanaugh, and Justice Clarence Thomas.”
Collins, according to the FOX piece, rejected Jones’ complaint, allegedly stating that Jones was trying to deflect from “his shady corrupt past.”
The tweet allegedly is using a 2005 rape allegation against Jones who, as a Democrat, was the DeKalb County CEO at the time. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) investigated the allegation but the case was never prosecuted and Jones was never charged.
