Meet the Republican Party’s freshest face.
You may have remembered Rep. Vernon Jones from the previous year when he bucked the Democratic Party and quit.

To ring in the new year, he has officially joined the Republican Party.
And in the days leading up to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Jones has accused the Democrats of “hijacking” the civil rights movement.
“They have hijacked the civil rights movement for money and corrupt political gain,” Jones wrote in a Fox op-ed. “Instead of focusing on the real divisions dragging Americans down, we are fed a false narrative based on race-baiting, identity politics and widespread propaganda fed to the masses.”
He also noted that the identity of the party no longer celebrates the values he grew up with and pursued as a public servant in the American South — where many principles of the nation were cemented by Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy.
He reiterated his support for law enforcement and economic opportunity for all Americans, as opposed to division.

The mention of San Francisco is likely a subtle dig at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose tenure as party boss has allowed the party wagon to be driven far to the radical left. So instead of riding alongside liberals for one of the most important elections in American history, he threw his support behind President Donald Trump as the Democrats grew more deranged.
On the heels of the President’s 2020 nomination back in August, Jones made his support publicly on live television saying “I am part of a large and growing segment of the Black community who are independent thinkers.”
“And we believe that Donald Trump is the president that America needs to lead us forward.”
The fracture between Jones and the party made national headlines as his ex-allies launched ugly personal attacks on him for the party switch.

Yet and still, it seems he remains a proud member of the Republican Party which welcomed him with open arms.
“I am proud to be Republican,”he wrote. “I am proud to join the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Donald Trump. It is the party that best represents the great spirit of the American individual—the Republican Party.”
