Jake Ford Claims To Be A Victim Of A Racially Motivated Attack In An Upscale Steakhouse

Jake Ford uses a recent personal experience as evidence that the 9th District Congressional contest should be about race:

Ford claims he became involved in a verbal disagreement about politics with a fellow patron at Fleming’s restaurant on Poplar. The patron was a volunteer for the campaign of Southaven congressional candidate Greg Davis.

“When I repelled the gentleman off of me expecting, the employees or other patrons at this restaurant to get involved, they did. They got involved, but they jumped on me,” Ford said.

Ford wonders if there is a political agenda behind the fact the information is coming out now.

“This happened 29 days ago. I have not mentioned this or attempted to contact the press. You can even attest to that Kontji, I haven’t called you or any other news agency to try this in the court of public opinion. This is for the courtroom and that is where we’re going to address this problem,” Ford said.
