</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">According to The Daily Beast, Stew Peters isn't the typical right-wing personality because no one is safe. In fact, Peters' recent interview with Vernon Jones —a former Democrat now running as a Republican gubernatorial candidate in Georgia gubernatorial candidate— went completely off the rails.</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">While Jones, who has reportedly been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, may have assumed he'd be doing a softball right-leaning interview, he quickly realized that wasn't the case.</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Peters wasted no time questioning Jones about a 2010 discrimination case where he was accused of discriminating against white employees during his time as the Dekalb County commissioner, the intense discussion quickly led to a clash between the two men.

</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Shortly after Peters' remarks, Jones abruptly ended the call. The incriminating interview led to a bit of blowback and the loss of multiple endorsements for Jones. However, the gubernatorial candidate isn't the only person facing backlash for his past.<b> The Beast reports that Peters' past is also rather tainted. From theft accusations and charges to domestic-related issues and botched bounty hunting, Peters has had his own share of run-ins with the law.</b></font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

His wife showed officers video she had recorded of her husband yelling at her and throwing objects at her, according to the report. Asked whether she was concerned Peters would attack her, she said, "That's the reason that I had to call you guys," and nodded yes."</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

As they attempted to detain the man, he pulled a gun, prompting a shootout in a dealership crowded with customers and employees."</font></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
