Nixon brought up a 2005 criminal trespass charge and a 2010 DUI charge against Hand, both of which were dismissed. Nixon also cited federal court documents to argue Hand’s participation in the Jan. 6 riot was more serious than Hand had claimed
“This is where I get back in my truck and go back to southwest Georgia because I’ve got two races to win,” Hand said, walking out of the studio while cameras were rolling.
🚨 SNOWFLAKE ALERT 🚨
- Hand showed up to the debate so he could walk out and talk to the press for 20 minutes. It was clearly a preplanned stunt.
  In political slang that is called a 'Hand job'.
  
  Remember when pence did that at a baseball game just so he could lean into the culture war shit they were trying to start up at the time?
It sounds like he's not fit to play politics.
A construction superintendent who lives in rural Butler, Hand again portrayed himself as leading a working-class movement to improve economic conditions in one of the poorest parts of Georgia. Hand said he would rally Black and white workers under the banner of Donald Trump.
Poor feller is confused about who he should support if he cares about the working class.

He's already challenging the results.
Which I'm sure bumped him up in the Republican polls.
