A man strongly denied accusations he told a Democratic lawmaker to “go back where you came from” during a confrontation at a July 20 press conference—just a day after the two had clashed at a supermarket express checkout lane.
Erica Thomas, (D-Austell) who is African American, first made the claims in a tearful video on July 19, when she claimed a white man had come up to her and made the comment because she had more than 10 items in the express lane.
