Ossoff shuts down Loeffler criticism of Warnock: She's 'been campaigning with a Klansman'


BY JUSTINE COLEMAN - 12/30/20 09:01 PM EST

Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff responded to Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R-Ga.) criticism of her Democratic opponent, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, by saying on Wednesday that she has been “campaigning with a Klansman.”

Loeffler has leveraged a Washington Free Beacon report of alleged abuse at a camp that Warnock oversaw in Maryland, calling the incident “disqualifying” in a Monday Fox News interview.

Ossoff was responding on Wednesday to a question by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy when asked if he had “any concern that the allegations of wrongdoing by Rev. Warnock could possibly be a drag on the Democratic ticket” during the Senate runoff races next week.

“None whatsoever,” Ossoff responded in the video shared on Twitter. “Rev. Warnock addressed this issue a year ago, and here’s the bottom line: Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman.”

It's part of the second minute, at around 1:15. The first part is Ostroff speaking of the incumbents' corruption.

FOX News walked up rolling live, and I appreciated the free air time!

Also, Kelly Loeffler campaigned with a klansman.

That piece of despicable info for the Fox audience of deplorables won't negatively impact their votes, but it will certainly motivate our dem voters to vote for our 2 candidates.
