Republicans Furious At TikTok Comedian For Using A Fake Southern Accent In Video About Calling Georgia Voters

Republicans Furious At TikTok Comedian For Using A Fake Southern Accent In Video About Calling Georgia Voters

Georgia Republicans are enraged at a TikTok'er who filmed himself calling Georgia voters in advance of the Senate runoff there on January 5.

His supposed crime? Using a Southern accent to speak to the voters.


The clips shows TikToker Adrian Elliot pretending to call a voter in Decatur, Georgia from his apartment in Los Angeles, using a thick Southern drawl.

As the clip continues, Elliot oozes more and more "Southern hospitality" to the person on the other end, telling them about the Democratic runoff candidates, Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.

At the end of the phone call, Elliot puts down his phone, looks straight into the camera with a deadly serious look and drops the Southern accent to say:

"Whatever it fu*king takes."

The closing line is in reference to the importance of the runoff, which will determine which party controls the Senate during the first two years of Joe Biden's presidency.

Many on TikTok found the video hilarious. But Republicans, in Georgia and across the country, are signaling deep offense at the supposed denigration Elliot shows toward Southerners.

The Georgia Republican Party featured Elliot's TikTok on its Twitter account with the caption:

"This is what the coastal elites in Washington and California (who are trying to influence the #GASen runoffs) think of Georgians."

Senator David Perdue, who is Democrat Jon Ossoff's opponent in the upcoming runoff, used similar rhetoric in a tweet of his own, castigating Elliot, a non-famous TikToker with just over 2,000 followers, as an "elite" looking down on Georgians.

In contrast to his response to the TikTok, Perdue has been publicly silent about attempts by President Trump, his administration, and other Republican party members to compel Georgia's state election authorities to invalidate voters' legally cast ballots in an effort to overturn the election's results.

On social media, responses to Elliot's video were split—and not just along party lines. Many, Democrats and Republicans alike, felt his video was inappropriate and counterproductive.







But many others thought the video was hilarious.





Both races in the hotely contested runoff—between Perdue and Ossoff, and Reverend Warnock and his opponent, Senator Kelly Loeffler—are currently tied according to recent polling.

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
