NEW VIDEO: Rick Jackson Wants to be Donald Trump's Favorite Governor, Disagrees with Him on Nothing

The DGA today released a new video highlighting Rick Jackson's many comments praising Donald Trump.

Jackson has said he wants to be Trump's favorite governor and claimed to be "Trump with a southern tone". He has proudly said he doesn't disagree with Trump on anything, would run Georgia's economy "just like Trump," and supports Trump's disastrous policies that have driven up prices on everything from food to health care for Georgians. He's also denied the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Earlier this year, Jackson even went as far as to brag that he made money off of Trump's tariffs that are raising Georgians' costs and said Trump's budget law cut his taxes by 40 percent - while kicking half a million Georgians off their health care.

Yesterday, Trump endorsed Jackson, saying that he won the GOP nomination by being "TRUMP".

"Rick Jackson supports Donald Trump, he's made money off of Trump's cost-raising agenda, and he's running to be the Trump of Georgia. Don't believe us? Just listen to his own words - he wants to be just like Trump," said DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe.

Watch the video HERE:

Rick Jackson:

"When we win, President Trump will be a winner…

There's nobody that supports President Trump more than I do…

I'll be President Trump's favorite governor…

As governor, I'll be like Trump."
