Democrat Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones gained national attention when he endorsed President Donald Trump’s reelection, decided to step down when his fellow Democrats attacked him, and then reversed his decision after a wave of support from mostly conservatives encouraged him to keep his job. On Saturday, he joined fellow Trump-supporter and clean up America guru Scott Presler to pick up trash in Atlanta.
“Scott is a fine example about what we appreciate about being American,” Jones said to the about 125 people who volunteered to pick up trash around the city and donate food to a local food bank.
Jones spoke to the crowd about growing up on a farm in North Carolina where his parents taught him the values he still honors today.
