A Republican congressman has called for the Democratic midterm election campaign to be “body-slammed”.
In a video posted online by Georgia Democrats, Georgia’s Republican congressman Jody Hice begins by telling an audience in Watkinsville that “the time has come” to stop Democrats, who are favored to regain control of the House of Representatives on 6 November.
He adds: “We watched for eight years as the Obama administration gradually dismantled everything you and I believe in and pushed his own socialist agenda. The time has come. The line has been drawn in the sand. And that agenda has to stop. It’s time for this so-called ‘blue wave’ to be body-slammed.”
The remark drew applause from the crowd where Hice was speaking at a campaign event for Brian Kemp, the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Georgia.
