Nixon brought up a 2005 criminal trespass charge and a 2010 DUI charge against Hand, both of which were dismissed. Nixon also cited federal court documents to argue Hand’s participation in the Jan. 6 riot was more serious than Hand had claimed

“This is where I get back in my truck and go back to southwest Georgia because I’ve got two races to win,” Hand said, walking out of the studio while cameras were rolling.

🚨 SNOWFLAKE ALERT 🚨

Hand showed up to the debate so he could walk out and talk to the press for 20 minutes. It was clearly a preplanned stunt.

In political slang that is called a 'Hand job'.
