Georgia Governor Nathan Deal and Loganville city council member Rey Martinez<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It has long been my suspicion that at least some of the Georgia politicians who are involved with or become board members of the rabidly anti-enforcement GALEO don\u2019t fully understand the level of \u2018crazy<\/a>\u2019 at that corporate-funded mob<\/a> run by Jerry Gonzalez when they sign up.<\/p>\n

Example: Rey Martinez, a Loganville city council member and Chairman of the Public Safety Committee there was a member of the GALEO board of Directors<\/a> \u00a0when Georgia Governor Nathan Deal appointed him<\/a> \u00a0to the state\u2019s Board of Commissioners of the Commission on Equal Opportunity in 2015. He is apparently no longer part of the GALEO family.<\/p>\n

But Martinez is now an active and very visible Donald Trump supporter and has spoken out for Trump on Atlanta radio<\/a> and at a recent Middle Georgia Trump rally that featured vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence and various Republican pols.<\/p>\n

The Macon Telegraph covered the \u00a0August 29 Trump rally<\/a> at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter and reported on Martinez\u2019s remarks supporting Trump\/Pence ticket:<\/p>\n

Rey Martinez, a Hispanic city councilman in Loganville, urged Hispanics to consider whether their lives have improved in the last eight years.<\/p>\n

“We have been lied to and bamboozled,” he said. “We don’t need to keep going down the same path.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if I am the only one who is curious about the seeming metamorphosis involved in being on the GALEO board of directors a year before being on the stage supporting Donald Trump, who is usually supportive of the immigration enforcement that GALEO fights on all fronts?<\/p>\n

Or what military veteran Martinez would have to say if asked if he was aware of GALEO\u2019s public safety \u201caccomplishments<\/a>\u201d over the years before he joined and while he was on their board. Or if he has chatted with Jerry Gonzalez about their differences on a presidential candidate?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
