What happened in Athens is a direct result of the Biden Administration refusing to address the crisis on our southern border.
Now Democrats want to blame Republicans as voters head to the ballot box because it’s politically convenient.

is right. This isn’t a hard choice, you’re either supporting better training for law enforcement or you aren’t. I was proud to cast my vote for SR6EX today on the floor of the Senate. I will always support more training & resources for LEOs in Georgia.
Either you’re on the side of law enforcement and first responders receiving the training they need or you aren’t. There's no such thing as silent leadership.
