“I don’t plan to leave the Democratic Party because somebody’s got to be in there to hold them accountable —hold them accountable to how they are treating black people (and) root out the bigotry,” Jones said on The Rashad Richey Morning Show shortly after announcing his resignation.

He left the plantation for a moment and paid the price.

Given an “offer” he couldn’t refuse....
The communists definitely play dirty. I figured it would only be a matter of time before this guy was dealt with. He, and/or his family, were likely threatened with a “Seth Rich” style arkancide.

What’s interesting is he said he’s leaving the plantation. That plantation was fertilized and watered by LBJ’s Great Society.

I wonder what did it. The absolute hard left turn the rats made? Illegals pushing Blacks to the back of the bus again? Obvious discrimination against Blacks by the rats?

Or what?

And, is this a sign of the times, where more people are waking up to what the rat party is all about??

I hear a huge rumbling sound from the hill top above. It’s called a landslide.

Maybe he just got tired of all the crap. People do resign of their own accord, especially when they’re fed up. I don’t think he’s going to be out of circulation for long.

He doesn’t plan to leave the Democrat Party? I got news for him- the party left him long ago.

They are not ever going to forgive him for saying something nice about Trump, doesn’t he know that?

He identifies with an older version of it. It would be better if there were sometimes pushback on their side. We certainly have therm on ours (Christine Todd Whitman, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan). Moderate "Boll Weevil" Democrats gave Reagan our tax cut in the '80s.

I’m surprised he didn’t get a visit in the middle of the night from a few guys with a rope.

Don’t insult Nazis.

Their reputation is justly in the crapper enough without comparing them to a party that murders , steals from and seeks to replace their citizens to benefit illegal alien invaders and foreigners still in foreign lands.

Many of the Republicans in Georgia are former Democrats.

Republicans need to bring him over.

He spoke his conscience and is now suffering for it. Who would have thought there was a Democrat left, who had a conscience?

What if Jackie Robinson gave up baseball because of all the threats he and his family faced?

What if Rosa Parks decided to move to another seat?

What if Martin Luther King kept his dream to himself?

Grow a set Vernon Jones!

Otherwise, who will stand up for other black Americans?
