Democrats ‘Crucified Me’ and Abuse the Black Community
“When I decided to stand up on behalf of disadvantaged children in support of school choice, my Democrat colleagues didn’t stand by me,” Mainor told Fox News Digital, asserting that her Democrat colleagues “crucified” her for supporting school choice and standing against efforts to defund police. She said she has always stood as the type of politician who will “work across the aisle to deliver results for my community and the people I was elected to represent.” But her leftist colleagues did not support her.
“They abandoned me,” she said, explaining again that her decision to leave the Democrat Party is not a political decision but a moral one.
“For far too long, the Democrat Party has gotten away with using and abusing the black community,” Mainor said.
“For decades, the Democrat Party has received the support of more than 90 percent of the black community. And what do we have to show for it? I represent a solidly blue district in the city of Atlanta. This isn’t a political decision for me. It’s a moral one,” she continued.
This decision has been a long time coming, as Mainor posted a video in May, revealing she found herself “in the crosshairs of my Democratic caucus in the Georgia House of Representatives.” In the caption, Mainor explained that the “Democrat Party Establishment is looking to take me out.”
