The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
The newly elected first vice-chair of the Georgia GOP — Brian K. Pritchard — ripped U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during an extraordinary 20-minute segment of his online show Friday. “I’m through with her. I’m through,” he said.
Although Greene continues to be closely aligned with former President Donald Trump, Pritchard’s are the first significant negative comments about Greene from a state GOP leader since her alliance with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and her recent split with the House Freedom Caucus.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene now says she likes being a ‘free agent.’ Well guess what Marjorie, have at it,” he said, comparing Greene’s fight with U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., to “a high school girl who went to the bathroom to smoke.”
From my November 2022 report:
Conservative North Georgia talk show host Brian K. Pritchard, a candidate for the state House who rails against election fraud, allegedly voted illegally nine times while serving a felony sentence in a $33,000 forgery and theft case, state officials say.
The Georgia attorney general’s office wrote Thursday that Pritchard broke state law each time he voted before his sentence was completed, according to a filing with the Office of State Administrative Hearings. State law prohibits felons from voting.
The Peach Pundit reports:
It all stems from a felony conviction in 1996 where, according to multiple news sources, Pritchard pled guilty to three felonies; two counts of forgery and one count of theft. He was still on probation when he moved to Georgia in 2008 and registered to vote. Felons are not legally allowed to vote until they have completed their sentence, which includes probation. Pritchard’s case made it up to the Georgia Board of Elections, which voted to refer Pritchard’s case to the Georgia Attorney General’s office.
Pritchard, rather than giving a mea culpa and talking about what he learned from the experience, instead pulls his Trump victim card. Pritchard also holds on to the pardon he received in 2017 from the Governor of Pennsylvania. Under PA law, the pardon legally rolls back the conviction as if it never happened. Even if that’s the legal definition, it doesn’t change the fact that in 1996, Pritchard was convicted.
