KKKelly Loeffler Keeps Posing For Photos With White Supremacists And Other Extremists

Earlier this week a photo of Georgia GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler posing with a notorious white supremacist went viral, prompting her campaign to disavow it.

But this wasn’t the first time that Loeffler — who is competing in one of the Jan. 5 Georgia runoff elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate — has posed for photos with a white supremacist or other far-right extremists. She has done it repeatedly this year.

The picture that went viral showed Loeffler smiling alongside Chester Doles, a former Ku Klux Klan leader and member of the neo-Nazi National Alliance. Doles, who attended the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, went to prison in the 1990s for assaulting a Black man in Maryland.

He posted the photo, taken at a Loeffler campaign event in Dawsonville, Georgia, to the Russian social media site VK on Dec. 11.

I know it's their turf but still we try so hard for all they had to do is lie down and they win.
