On Wednesday's broadcast of "CNN Primetime," Georgia State Rep. Mesha Mainor, who recently switched parties from Democrat to Republican, discussed her party switch and stated that schools in her Atlanta district are failing and crime rates are high, and because "There is not a Republican in office" in the area, "we can't blame Republicans. Democrats need to blame themselves for the problems in our community," Mainor also stated that "Every single policy issue that is important to my community was a policy issue that the Republican Party was supporting."
