Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones Stands Up For Colton Moore After Moore Gets Arrested By The Georgia Swamp

Republican Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones stood up for populist state senator Colton Moore and scolded RINO House Speaker Jon Burns after Moore was arrested for trying to attend Governor Brian Kemp’s State of the State address on Thursday.

Colton Moore previously got suspended from the Georgia House chamber because Moore slammed ex-House Speaker David Ralston as “corrupt.” Moore also tried to get an investigation going into anti-Trump Fulton County district attorney Fanni Willis. Obviously, RINO’s want to protect Fani Willis and the whole anti-Trump operation that nearly led to President Donald J. Trump becoming a political prisoner in his own country. So the GOP Swamp made Colton Moore into an enemy.

The Georgia Swamp banned Colton Moore from the House chamber, where Kemp was speaking on Thursday. When Moore tried to get in, the pro-Trump state senator got knocked to the floor, arrested, and detained at Fulton County Jail.

But Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones had Colton Moore’s back in Jones’ speech to legislators on Friday.

“I told (Speaker Burns) that what happened yesterday was an embarrassment for the General Assembly as a whole, whether we know it or not. Whether you were involved or not, that was an embarrassment for all of us, and it shouldn’t happen again, and we both agree to that,” Lieutenant Governor Jones stated.

“The Senator from the 53rd showed a lot of restraint yesterday in his efforts to really do what he felt like was his obligation as an elected official, and I respect that. But I will tell you this, my obligation is to the 56 senators here in this room. And my obligation is to always stand up for what you are about and what you represent as a senator,” Burt Jones said to applause.

“During a joint session yesterday, that was an event that affected the people of Georgia, and the people who were elected to represent should be there and present. And I can tell you this, moving forward: you have my word that this will not happen again under my watch. Because I will make sure that every senator has a voice in this building,” Jones said to another round of applause.

Jones said that he hopes the Speaker will respect the Senate chamber. He hopes that the Speaker will deal with issues in the House while he, Jones, deals with issues in the Senate, because “that’s the way it should be.” Hopefully, Burt Jones will not take any more guff from Jon Burns.
