A Republican lawmaker warned a former Democratic colleague that she and others advocating for the removal of Confederate monuments in Georgia might “go missing” in a nearby swamp.

Georgia state Rep. Jason Spencer on Monday posted a picture of himself on Facebook outside the Jefferson Davis Memorial in Irwin County, 30 minutes north of where the lawmaker was raised.

“Passing through South Georgia on my way back … This is Georgia’s history,” Spencer wrote in the post, which was first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “#DealWithIt.”

That prompted a response from former Georgia state Rep. LaDawn Blackett Jones, a Democrat who suggested that Spencer get his visit and keepsake photographs before the memorial site is “torn down.”

“Are state tax dollars going to this? If so I need to take a closer look at the state budget,” Jones wrote. “I’ll deal with it but don’t want to pay for it.”

Spencer, a Republican who sits on several Georgia House of Representatives committees, including Games, Fish & Parks, replied that the memorial site is “not going” away anytime soon.

“Those folks won’t put up with it like they do in Atlanta,” Spencer wrote. “It best you move on.”

Jones then told Spencer to put his “hoods” and “tiki torches” away and suggested that Confederate statues be moved to private property.

Spencer then took the tit-for-tat Facebook exchange in an ominous direction.

“I can guarantee you won’t be met with torches but something a lot more definitive,” Spencer wrote. “People in South Georgia are people of action, not drama.”

Another Facebook user then interjected into the conversation, saying that “some people” will never get it.

“Atlanta is NOT Georgia,” the man wrote.

“You got that right,” Spencer replied. “They will go missing in the Okenfenokee [swamp]. Too many necks they are red around here. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about them.”

Spencer did not return a request seeking comment early Wednesday, but told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that his post was not intended as a threat — but rather a warning.

The exchange, which has since been removed from Spencer’s profile, concluded with this from Jones: “[Is] that what we are doing now? Desperate times call for desperate measures huh? Afraid of what is going to happen in southern [Georgia]?”

“She is from Atlanta — and the rest of Georgia sees this issue very differently,” Spencer told the newspaper. “Just trying to keep her safe if she decided to come down and raise hell about the memorial in the back yards of folks who will see this as an unwelcome aggression from the left.”

Jones, meanwhile, said she and Spencer had a “unique” relationship during her time in the state legislature from 2012 to 2016.

“If it were anybody other than Jason Spencer, then I would be alarmed,” she told the newspaper. “But we had a unique relationship in the Georgia Legislature. If that had come from anybody else, I’d take it as a serious threat.”
