The Cobb County cartoon squabble
from The Ron Show Hosted by Ron Roberts
An anonymous AI-skilled cartoonist (allegedly) sent a Cobb County defense attorney this 16-page comic - depicting newly elected district attorney Sonya Allen as a clown. That elicited a response from Cobb County Democratic Party chair Essence Johnson, labeling the comic "Jim Crow–era propaganda once used to diminish Black leadership." For some reason, the Cobb GOP chair, Mary Clarice Hathaway, decided to jump in with a long list of easily refutable nonsense. Essence Johnson joined the show to explain what on Earth this back-and-forth squabble is about. You should note, however, Megan Webb Grout is out with a new uh, "donated" cartoon "sent" to her (anonymously, of course) where said cartoonist at least dialed back the clown caricaturizing.
