Your post explains why he lost that election. Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, the reality is that very few voters think that’s the most important thing for their legislators to deal with. I’m sure the general consensus among them was: “We elected you to public office and you got thrown out over a stupid statue of the Ten Commandments in a public building? You’ve got to be kidding me.”
He already defied federal leftist tyrants in robes the first time around, was removed for exercising his Constitutional rights, and was then returned to his office again. That was not the issue with the voters.
This time, it was a deliberate, coordinated character assassination with unproven claims and the corrupt, establishment GOP working to make sure he wouldn’t win the special election by any means. They wanted the Democrat to win. It was that simple. I don’t believe Jones’s win was legitimate by any stretch.
