(JEWISH GROUP) Georgia's Jewish senator called his newly minted GOP opponent an antisemite. Why?
After Rep. Mike Collins won a hard-fought Republican runoff election in Georgia Tuesday for the partys Senate nomination in November, his opponent wasted no time going on the offensive.
Donald Trumps handpicked candidate Mike Collins is a notorious bigot, antisemite, and extremist, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff posted on social media on Tuesday night.
Ossoff, who is Jewish, did not elaborate on the antisemitism allegation in the post, which continued with other attack lines against Collins. But Collins and some of his senior staff members have faced well-documented past allegations of antisemitism in a state thats home to an estimated 100,000-plus Jewish adults.
Whether hes socializing with a known Nazi, speaking in antisemitic dog whistles, or doubling down after targeting a Jewish reporter, Mike Collins record of bigotry and antisemitism speaks for itself, Valeria Rivadeneira-Crandell, a spokesperson for Ossoffs campaign, elaborated in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
