The incident happened near the city of Pooler, just outside of Savannah, where Vice President Mike Pence campaigned with Loeffler and Perdue that afternoon. …
Loeffler canceledplans to join Pence at the rally ahead of the contentious Georgia Senate race as a result of the tragedy.
Loeffler, Perdue and Gov. Brian Kemp, who was also close with the young aide, all paid tribute to Deal. …
Just three days before his death, Deal shared a photo of him and Kemp to Facebook where he lauded the governor.
'I will never be ashamed of this man [Kemp]. To have known him personally for the past two years,I can assure you the information currently being spread about him is completely false. He is the furthest thing from a corrupt man,'wrote Deal. "
