  1. Fellow Georgian here.

    Everything about this situation is patently absurd, but [his picture](https://www.ajc.com/resizer/MkMA9gKg3sg0ksJAiyUia1x7L2E=/1022×0/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/ajc/KIKTLNXHGJDYLK7QXX7IGE5QLQ.jpg) is the icing on the absurdity cake.

    Conservatives would be *insulted* if you told them it was an AI rendering of what conservatives look like.

  3. If there was any justice, insurrectionists like this would still be serving a 40 year jail sentence, but we let them debate for office instead  

  5. I get the look, but really the guy is going to a televised debate and he doesn’t even respect the voters enough to spend a few minutes getting dressed for it?

  6. By the Constitution. Death Penalty.

    I’m not calling for it, the Law of the United States are.

  7. He looks exactly like what I pictured when I read the headline.

  8. Good, they shouldn’t even be allowed in this country. No one needs to hear from them.

  9. >A construction superintendent who lives in rural Butler, Hand again portrayed himself as leading a working-class movement to improve economic conditions in one of the poorest parts of Georgia. Hand said he would rally Black and white workers under the banner of Donald Trump.

    Trump– billionaire luxury real estate mogul and grifter. man of the working class.

  10. Wife’s a convicted drug dealer… lol. only the worst run for office now I guess.

  13. But he got all dressed up and everything! He even wore his clean hat.

  14. “Hand was particularly critical that Nixon brought up the earlier conviction of his wife for illegal sale of oxycodone.

    “It’s perfectly fine to attack me as a candidate. I expect that. But to come out and publicly attack my wife, that’s a completely different situation,” Hand said. “My wife had paid her debt to society long before I ever met her.””

    …..just a friendly reminder that Trump recently stated his support for the death penalty for low level drug dealers.

  16. He looks like a temu Triple H or Liev Schreiber

  17. Where was this effort when he was raiding the Capitol?

  18. I recall seeing J6 in real time. While rummaging through notebooks of Congressman who fled for their own safety, some of the Maga people said on tape, Well, we’re in. Guess we’re supposed to run this place now. Then they said, nah, gave up on that notion and continued in their vandalism and creep calls. It was never about competent people carrying on. It was just about burning it down.

  19. Can’t embarrass yourself in the debate if you leave before debating, I guess.

  20. Cowardly man does cowardly thing when confronted. Shocker.

  21. These fucking clowns… I’m sure he thought he really did a thing by walking out after his big statement. He doesn’t realize that we all know he left because he’s a coward without the ability to debate any issue thoughtfully. So, in typical MAGA fashion, throw out nasty accusations about how mean the opponent is, how unfairly you’re treated, then storm off.

    At this point, we could power the country on the energy produced from the founding fathers spinning in their graves.

  22. Questions must have gotten too difficult for his maga brain to comprehend.

  23. How dare you bring up my past and mention my wife was (is?) a convicted drug dealer
