Georgia's New Gov Candidate Says, 'I'm as Georgia as We Come,' While Wearing a Hijab

A new gubernatorial candidate has entered the fold in Georgia with an incredibly cringeworthy advertisement to let voters know who she is.

Democratic candidate Ruma Romman posted her campaign ad to social media platform X on Monday where she spouted all the usual leftist drivel about people being put last while big, bad corporations hold them down. She promised to feed the hungry, increase the minimum wage, open hospitals, and help small businesses. “Georgia belongs to all of us, not just corporations and special interests,” Romman declared in front of a group of paid actors.

The ad is very boilerplate, but one remark stuck out not for being odd, but objectively false. Romman told her audience, “I’m as Georgia as we come.”

No, Romman is definitely not “as Georgia as we come.”
