Georgia Lawmaker Lashes Out At 'Haters' After Being Criticized For Crowd-Surfing Over Trump Rally Crowd

Georgia Lawmaker Lashes Out At 'Haters' After Being Criticized For Crowd-Surfing Over Trump Rally Crowd

During a recent MAGA rally in Macon, Georgia, State Representative Vernon Jones became the subject of widespread criticism after crowd surfing the unmasked throng of people.

Jones, who was also unmasked, was the latest in a long line of Trump supporters to completely ignore CDC guidelines and contribute to the possible spread of the virus.


On Twitter, Jones refused to apologize for his behavior and lashed out against the "haters."

The internet responded by reminding Jones of Herman Cain, who also felt it was safe to attend a Trump rally without a mask and later died due to the virus.



220,000 Americans have now been killed by the virus, which appears to be peaking once more as Americans move inside during colder weather.

But to Vernon Jones, potential deaths are less important than crowd surfing.



Jones described himself as "an independent thinker and a conservative Democrat who supports faith-based initiatives, tough immigration laws and fiscal responsibility."

He is registered as a "Democrat" despite campaigning for President Donald Trump and twice voting for George W. Bush.



After seeing the photos, many believed it was only a matter of time before cases of the virus were linked to Trump's event.



With a global pandemic taking lives every day, true leaders model responsible behavior and encourage their followers to do the same.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
