THIS is what convinced a longtime Democrat to become a Republican

Glenn Beck invites Georgia state Representative Mesha Mainor to the show to discuss the reasons she no longer pledges allegiance to the Democratic Party.

“Why did you leave the Democratic Party?” Glenn blatantly asks her.

“There were several bills that have come through over the past three years that I completely disagree with the Democrats on,” specifically bills involving “education, public safety, and systems over people,” she tells Glenn.

Mainor informs Glenn that “97% of the kids in [her] school cannot read,” and since Democrats “don’t believe that children like that need an option, [she has] a fundamental disagreement [with them].”

Further, “when the bill in Georgia was out to defund the police, [she] again did not vote with the Democrats on that.”

Of course, now Democrats are denying they ever supported defunding the police, “but that is absolutely not true,” Mainor says.

Glenn and Mainor then discuss how the Democratic Party has brainwashed the African-American community into believing that Republicans are evil racists who want to reinstitute slavery.

“I’m asking minorities, black Americans in particular, [to] look around [them]. There is not a Republican, there’s not a white person that has been over [their] local school board at the county commissioner’s office [or] at the state legislature, so [they] cannot blame Republicans or white people for what is happening in [their] communities; it has been black Democrats that have been leading the policies where [they] live,” she tells Glenn.
