As a native of Georgia with friends in the northwestern part of the state, I can't even bring myself to watch the video. Makes me nauseous. One of the friends attended a gathering of a Republican women's group that she spoke at and sent me an iPhone video in which she joked, in response to a question about solar power, that nobody wanted to have to go back to going to bed when the sun went down. A few people could be heard chuckling, but their discomfort was palpable. This woman was the manager of a gym before she ran for office and I'm not even sure of how successful she was at that. I just don't understand.

But then again, I'm in such a gerrymandered district that Madison Cawthorn (the wheelchair bound young man who had visiting the bunker where Hitler killed himself on his "bucket list") was my representative until the hard-right Republications in my district conspired to get rid of him and did. Hopefully, the same will happen in Georgia.

She is difficult to watch and even more difficult to take seriously.

You would think so, but they keep re-electing her. It just boggles my mind.

Chickamauga is in her district, yet she misspelled it in a tweet and identified Wilder Tower as a Confederate monument. Her only saving grace is that she didn't make up a fake Civil War battle for her golf course.
