Georgia Senate Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff hit the table on Fox News on Wednesday morning using the opportunity of an impromptu live interview of his Republican opponent, Senator David Perdue (R-GA), and Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) too narrow. running in another Senate run-off race.
During a campaign rally in Marietta, Georgia, Ossoff was approached by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, who let the Democrat know they were live on air and whether he was willing to ask a few questions.
Doocy first asked the 33-year-old candidate to talk about the “relevant experience” he had in fulfilling his promises as a senator, which prompted Ossoff to pursue his journalistic career of “fighting injustice, exposing war crimes and corruption” briefly indicate “. Before drawing his attention to Perdue and Loeffler.
“Right now we have a corruption crisis in American politics, and since we live on Fox, let me take this opportunity to address the Fox audience directly,” he stated. “We have two U.S. senators in Georgia who have blatantly used their offices to enrich themselves.”
Loeffler and Perdue are two of the richest members of the Senate and were both scrutinized over their large equity portfolios and personal financial affairs while in office. Democrats, meanwhile, flooded the state with ads hammering the two Republicans over investigations into their stock trading.
After Ossoff made his campaign to Fox News viewers, Doocy then jumped in to ask him about Loeffler’s latest attacks on her Democratic opponent Raphael Warnock, who raised the allegations surrounding a children’s camp led by Warnock.
“Is there any concern that allegations of injustice against Reverend Warnock could have a knock on the Democratic ticket next week?” printed the Fox News correspondent.
“Nothing at all,” Ossoff insists. Reverend Warnock addressed this issue a year ago and here is the conclusion: Kelly Loeffler is campaigning with a clan. Kelly Loeffler is campaigning with a clan. ”
The Senate’s hope referred to Loeffler who recently proposed to him for a photo of a campaign with Chester Doles, a neo-Nazi and longtime Ku Klux Klan member who joined the Unite the Right protest in 2017. Charlottesville marched. Loeffler’s campaign, meanwhile, quickly distanced itself from Doles. and said the senator had “no idea who it was” and would have “kicked him out immediately” if she had known.
“So she is holding down these brutal personal attacks to distract from the fact that she was fighting with a former member of the Ku Klux Klan,” Ossoff concluded. “We deserve better than that.”
