GA GOP Establishment Abuse

Pumpkin Gate Trial to Commence November 27, 2017

On August 23, 2014, an incident occurred at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in Dawson County, Georgia. There was a Republican Rally taking place for the General Election. A lot of the Republican bigwigs were there (i.e., elected officeholders and people running as a Republican for elected government offices, not political party offices).

At that rally, a conservative, freelance video-journalist named Nydia Tisdale was recording the political speeches that all the candidates were making. She was charging no money for her time for this activity, as she had done several times previously for many GOP candidates and GOP-related functions for a couple of years.

She is charged with criminal trespass and assaulting a Police Officer.

The video shows the Georgia Republican Establishment embarrassing themselves in a campaign rally. I don’t think Nydia Tisdale went to this event hoping to catch bad behavior, but she continued to film it anyway. These GOP weasels need to be clear about what kind of “public meetings” they are having. This group continued their “war dance” even though they knew they were being filmed. These gatherings are always advertised, but they are usually too far away to attract normal Republicans. Their attack on Nydia was unfortunate and avoidable.
