Ruwa, unleashed

Ruwa, unleashed

Just days after realizing her gubernatorial campaign had no viable path forward and little more than 36 hours after announcing so, Georgia state representative Ruwa Romman granted The Ron Show her first extended on-air interview. In it, she doesn't hold back with her concerns about the viability of the remaining candidates to win in November and asserted she wouldn't support former GOP Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan were he to become the nominee.

In the conversation, you'll hear - in her own words - how things came apart for her volunteer-heavy movement despite another campaign's internal polling showing she was the lone candidate making any positive gains.

In the second half of the show, our weekly check-in with comedian and political satirist Sterling Thrill in New York City for a work project and stints at Laughing Buddha in Manhattan, plus Ron reviews the ad spending to date and to come and how Rick Jackson is not only outspending Burt Jones but is also the only combatant to pause Jones' "leadership committee" spending advantage through court action.

Finally, Jay Bookman's most recent Georgia Recorder op/ed covers the bullying of Georgia towns by DHS/ICE and their disregard for impacts their massive, planned detention facilities will have on locals and their municipal governments. Oh, and while on the subject of mass deportation, Oklahoma's governor let slip the long-known, rarely spoken duality of GOP public xenophobia vs donor/employers' need for that sweet, sweet cheap illegally obtained labor.

Oops.
