Antigay Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia says she’s totally 100% against white supremacy and that she had absolutely no idea she was posing alongside a well-known white supremacist in a photo that went viral over the weekend.
A picture taken during a campaign event on Friday shows Loeffler smiling beside Chester Doles, a reported former leader of the Ku Klux Klan who was sentenced to prison for nearly beating a Black man to death in 1993.
Doles also allegedly has ties to the Hammerskin Nation, which the Southern Poverty Center describes as the “best organized, most widely dispersed and most dangerous Skinhead group.”
ALERT: Kelly Loeffler just posed for a photo with Chester Doles, a former KKK leader who runs the white supremacist American Patriots USA.
In 1993, Doles nearly beat a Black man to death.
In 2017, he marched in Charlottesville.

After the photo went viral on Saturday, Loeffler’s campaign spokesman, Stephen Lawson, rushed out a statement, telling the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “Kelly had no idea who that was” and that “if she had she would have kicked him out immediately because we condemn in the most vociferous terms everything that he stands for.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Loeffler is currently running neck and neck in a runoff election against Democrat Raphael Warnock for her U.S. Senate seat which will likely determine the balance of power in that body.

Well, how can she possibly condemn all his stands for when she stands with him on every issue besides perhaps peeing standing up? As does her Party, the Know-Nothing, Do-Nothing (Except Cut Millionaires Taxes) RepubiKKKan-Neo-Nazi Party.

Don’t forget, with Loeffler in office, DumptyTrumpty is going to be the first president out of the last 13 to leave office with FEWER JOBS than when he took office! He took a rising economy he inherited from Obama and blew it to smithereens. He let 300,000 people die from a virus he knew was deadly and then lied about steadily for 10 straight months. He has fomented hate, division, chaos, crime, disaster, and disunion. According to both the bipartisan US Senate Intelligence Committee report AND the Mueller Report, Don the Con’s campaign and administration engaged in numerous contacts with US enemy Russia, and he has never been able to explain what he was up to or why he has been so beholden and subservient to a country that wants to destroy the US, and recently hacked a number of major US agencies and organizations. He engaged in years of lawlessness and has not yet been account, but his days running amok are winding down and prosecutors have their eye on his lazy @ss. We see you, Loeffler, and we see the monsters you pal around with!

I have never been photographed with a known violent racist. I would not allow it or be anywhere long enough to be photographed with him as I would leave if he was there. She is a horrible person whose greed for money and power is limitless. We see how winning and keeping their congressional or senatorial seats cause these gop pigs to go to any length to keep them. They will lie cheat steal and undermine our very democracy to get and keep that power. they have no ethics or even decency. They will demonize whole groups to gain support of hate filled nutjobs like this guy and then deny they embrace them. SHe has to go, she cant be trusted as she has no SOUL

Kelly Loafer’s face says it all, she lies like Trump!
