Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Drew Ferguson [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-08-17 Welcome to what is the 1230th original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing the sitting U.S. House Representative for Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District, Drew Ferguson, a former dentist and mayor of West Point, Georgia, first elected to Congress in 2016. There’s things right from the jump that should have been disqualifying for office, like say, this moron would like to throw away the American tax code to be replaced with a flat tax that would destroy the American economy, if not the global economy. He also was up front in his desire to not just outlaw same sex marriage, but to cut funding to any government agency that would recognize them. But his extremist goes a bit beyond just that. When you’ve got Confederate general Robert E. Lee’s biography displayed in your office you might be a white nationalist. If you keep it open to the page where he defends owning slaves, you almost definitely are. If you needed any further confirmation that this guy is “out there” it would probably be that when a resolution came to the floor of the House in October of 2020 to condemn the Qanon conspiracy, he was one of only 17 Republicans who voted against it, and speaking of enjoying Qanon idiots, he was also one of the first members of Congress to come running to the defense of conspiracy theorist and all-around terrible human Marjorie Taylor-Greene when there were talks of expelling her from the House. Or dumb enough that he was one of the small cabal of loons who followed Matt Gaetz when they crashed a classified impeachment hearing back in 2019. Ferguson is also under investigation for voter fraud, having himself being alleged to have voted in a county in which he no longer lives three times in 2022. Go figure, he was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” (including well past the events of Jan. 6th) and signed his name to the Supreme Court amicus asking them to overturn the 2020 election results.  Drew Ferguson won re-election in his conservatively gerrymandered district with 69% of the vote, and given this guy being an extremist tool, we feel this is a rare time where responding to that number cannot be “nice”. So we’ll just go with the exact number of 68.7% instead.
