‘More than fishy’ Collins slams sudden cash surge for pro-Loeffler group
AJC ^ | 022820 | Greg Bluestein

When the Georgia Life Alliance needed an emcee for its annual gala in October, the conservative anti-abortion group turned to one of its favorite politicians: U.S. Rep. Doug Collins.

A few weeks later, though, the alliance stunned the Republican congressman when it announced it would spend at least $3 million on an ad blitz to back U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the Republican incumbent whom Collins is challenging in November.

Collins questioned how a group that struggled to raise significant cash unveiled an expensive initiative to support Loeffler. “What I think is happening is they got a large infusion of cash from Kelly. They’ve hardly raised $50,000 and then they suddenly announce a $3 million ad buy?” he asked. “It’s more than fishy. They can deny it all they want. I guess they thought I’d be quiet and not say anything about it.”

Federal tax records show the organization has never amassed that kind of cash before.

Just stop. You just humiliating yourself at this point. You are just trying to deny your emotionally hysteric ignorant butt by falsely portraying yourself as thinking about this.

You are not, you just pissed off your guy did not get picked. And the only reason he is “your guy” is because he was on TV a bunch during Impeachment telling you what you wanted to hear.

That was his JOB.

"This appointment of Loeffler is Blagojevich 2.0."

I am just waiting for the AJC to send their open records request for all of the communications within the administration regarding the appointment of the GA U.S. Senator.

I am afraid that will start trickling out after Kemp has gone through the primary and before the 2022 general election.

The AJC which is a pinko commie rag has even published two articles about this debacle already. I was surprised so that tells you how bad it is. The AG needs to open an investigation into this but he’s a RINO good ole boy too.

Fair points all, now let’s hope she continues to vote that way after the election.
