Mableton, GA — WSB radio talk show host Shelley Wynter, who has been characterized as a “conservative” by some, and who has been welcomed at Republican Party meetings in metro-Atlanta over the last few years, and even vaunted as something of an authority on Republican politics, announced that he was endorsing radical far Left Democrat Jon Ossoff for re-election to the U.S. Senate. This endorsement came shortly after Congressman Mike Collins (R- District 10) defeated Governor Kemp’s favored candidate and former football coach Derek Dooley in the primary runoff to win the Republican nomination.
“I’m here to tell you live on the radio that I am Team Ossoff for the rest of the summer and I will do everything I can possible on this show to get you re-elected,” Wynter said, following his broadcast conversation with Ossoff. “I see re-elections as a job interview, and in my humble opinion, I’ve seen nothing from Senator Jon Ossoff that requires me to say you’re fired from the job.”
Did you know that Democrat Jon Ossoff’s record is worse than Bernie Sanders’ record?
According to The Freedom Index, which rates all Congressmen and state legislators in the nation by how well their votes adhere to constitutional principles, current Congressman Mike Collins has a lifetime voting score of 87 percent.
In contrast to that, Democrat U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff has a voting record of 3 percent. Not 30 percent. Not 13 percent. Just the single digit figure of 3 percent!
To give you an idea of just how thoroughly bad that is: That’s even worse than U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont), long considered the standard of the far-Left Marxist wing of the Democrat Party, who’s scored a lifetime evaluation of as much as 26 percent! So Bernie got 23% more points than Ossoff. You have to be pretty bad to be worse than Bernie Sanders.
But Ossoff’s poor policy-making is lost on Shelley Wynter, who went so far as to proclaim on the air that “everything [Ossoff] you’re doing, everything you’ve done, I agree with. I have some minor disagreements on some smaller issues, but on the big things, I’m on your team.”
Everything? You agree with “everything”? How can someone say that and still be considered a “conservative” by anyone in the state? This is another shocking betrayal of the principles Republicans believe in and for which we fight.
OSSOFF’S RECORD
How has Ossoff been voting that earned him the lousy 3% lifetime score? How about, for example, voting against protecting women’s sports so that only biological females could compete in women’s sports? That’s pretty low-hanging fruit. But in March of 2025, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff voted against that bill, and Republican nominee Mike Collins voted in favor of it.
Does Shelley Wynter, then, oppose only biological women competing in women’s sports? This is a common sense Republican principle that recognizes God’s design and basic biology.
But that’s just one example. Ossoff is on record repeatedly voting against lowering the deficit, against cutting federal government subsidies (corporate welfare), and against reducing environmental regulations. He voted in favor of sending taxpayer money to foreign nations. He voted against legislation that would have protected the lives of babies who survive an attempted abortion. He has voted in favor of surveillance of American citizens, but against auditing the Federal Reserve. He voted in favor of mask mandates. He voted in favor of forced vaccines. He voted in favor of more federal gun control. He voted in favor of Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the U.S. Supreme Court — arguably the most woke Justice on the bench!
The receipts are all here.
On and on and on we could go. Ossoff is not just a little off. He’s about as far radically Left as you can get!
In endorsing Ossoff so thoroughly, Wynter has shown his true colors. Perhaps he was never really a “conservative” let alone a “Republican.” He has been projecting himself as a fellow “GOP supporter,” but it appears he’s always been a Democrat in Republican clothing. You cannot love the timeless principles of the Republican Party, and endorse a Democrat with such a six-year long and utterly terrible record.
But the clues were always there about Wynter’s real worldview. For example, when he stood up at the Cobb GOP Breakfast last year after the new slate of Cobb GOP officers were elected, he did not praise them on the caliber of the ideals they promoted, nor their credentials, nor their track record of past service. Instead he pointed at the group and exclaimed that this is what a GOP leadership team should “look like!”
What mattered to him was the appearances. The team had a middle-aged white woman, a young black man, a homosexual who publicly pushes homosexual policy, etc. It was a D.E.I. standard. D.E.I. is not about merit; it’s a woke standard. It’s something a Democrat would praise.
Another clue has been seen in how Wynter has interviewed big-government candidates on his show and throws them soft-ball questions rather than asking them questions about their policy positions.
And yet, Wynter was originally chosen to serve as emcee at a candidate forum hosted in Floyd County by the 14th Congressional District GA GOP earlier this year, an event that was cancelled due to a storm. When asked why Wynter had been selected to drill the 17 Republican candidates in the special election, the reply was that GA GOP Chairman Josh McKoon had recommended him. Why? Why does the GA GOP regard him as an ally?
Now Wynter is upset that Governor Kemp’s pick didn’t win the nomination.
Anyone who now listens to his radio show and thinks he has the best interests of the Republican Party at heart is greatly deceived. Anyone who continues to promote him as a “Republican” or a “conservative” in light of this obvious betrayal of our principles is marking themselves as a RINO, too.
The GRA was pleased to endorse Mike Collins for U.S. Senate because of his commitment to the Republican Party platform — the principles we hold dear — the ideals our founding fathers fought and died to protect.
Collins has also been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
The dreaded political mud-slinging has already started in the U.S. Senate campaign with unproven claims and speculative attacks. It’s likely to get worse. But there’s nothing speculative about how these candidates have voted in the past in Congress. The way a candidate has voted in the past is the best indicator of how they will vote in the future.
Don’t vote for Mr. 3 Percent.
Don’t listen ever again to Shelley Wynter.
Vote for Mike Collins for U.S. Senate if you want to advance Republican principles in D.C.
GRA Members are eager to help him win election by working together for the good of our state. We are committed to opposing Democrats — and Democrats in disguise, too.
