“For those who follow politics, it comes as little surprise that most legislators don’t understand the law. However, state representative Justin Jones has turned naked ignorance into a most lucrative occupation. On May 3rd, Jones underwent a grueling three-hour meeting to successfully defend a challenge from his Republican opponent, Laura Nelson, that 10 signatures on his petition to run for reelection were illegitimate. Likely too preoccupied by appearing on Max reality TV shows about drag queens and pretending to be interested in agriculture, Jones only bothered to collect 26 signatures, one over the minimum of 25 required by state law, when candidates routinely seek out hundreds. As NewsChannel 5’s ‘Footman’ Phil Williams reported in April, a sea change is occurring in which members of Jones’s own party have begun to distance themselves from his toxic buffoonery for the sake of their own reputations.” (08/22/24)
