Jason Chauncey Spencer (* 14. November 1974 in Sarpy County , Nebraska ) is an American politician of the Republican Party . He was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives from 2011 to 2018 .

In 2010, Spencer was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives to represent the 180th District . He took office as a member of parliament on January 10, 2011. Spencer was re-elected in 2012, 2014 and 2016, respectively. In 2018 he failed for the first time in re-election. In 2017, he warned black MP LaDawn Jones that if she campaigned to remove statues of Confederate officers, she could disappear. Before the end of his tenure, the Who Is America? aired a Spencer interview with Israeli counterterrorism expert Erran Morad , portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen . This interview led to Spencer's early resignation in July 2018. Spencer had shouted the racist swear words " nigger " and " sand nigger " and imitated an Asian accent in a stereotypical manner. He had also taken off his trousers and tried to attack the alleged Israeli with his bare buttocks.
