“Owning the library does not mean they have to give away two free Senate seats,” Trump’s national press secretary Hogan Gidley told Fox & Friends Weekend on Sunday, two days before Georgia’s major run-off election, which will decide which party the Senate control. .
“We must ensure that Republicans retain control of the Senate so that any radical agenda from the left cannot come through this country and destroy it and rebuild it again in the image of a socialist nation, that is exactly what the Democrats promise to do, ‘Gidley said.
Both Senate events in Georgia – and control of the chamber – will be underway on Tuesday as Senator Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., Faces challenger Raphael Warnock and takes on Senator David Perdue, R-Ga., Jon Ossoff .
“Both Ossoff and Warnock promise not only to accept the Green New Deal, which would destroy our economy, but also make us less secure on the world stage by relying on other countries for our energy,” Gidley said Sunday.
“They want to open our borders. They want to make Puerto Rico a state, DC a state, pack the court, all the agenda items that were radically exposed from the beginning, that they embrace and promise to do.”
He went on to say that President Trump is going to fight for the Republican senators in Georgia on Monday and ‘his supporters are rallying and saying,’ Guys, we’re still watching what happened to me in this re-election campaign. Don ‘t worry about it. What you need to make sure you do and focus on it is to vote for Kelly Loeffler and Perdue to make sure we control the Senate. ”
“I think this is a pretty good message and I think this is a message that is going to work in the state of Georgia,” Gidley continued.
When Trump weighed in on the 2017 race and called Ossoff a ‘super liberal Democrat’ who ‘wants to protect criminals, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes’, Ossoff replied that the president was ‘misinformed’.

“I am committed to bringing new leadership, accountability, and dual problem-solving to Washington to reduce wasteful spending and grow the Atlanta economy in the Silicon Valley in the South,” Ossoff said.
Ossoff distanced himself from the National Democratic Party’s left at the time. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Ossoff “often tried to prevent the campaign from being nationalized for fear of losing moderate voters.”
He said he would not support any tax increases, not even on the rich. “I do not support any increase in income tax rates,” he said.
Last month, Loeffler painted her run-off election against Warnock on January 5 as a fight against socialism during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
Loeffler linked her opponent to ideas put forward by the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party, including the reduction of funding to police departments and the so-called Green New Deal. She also linked Warnock to former Cuban strongman Fidel Castro.
In 1995, Warnock was a youth pastor at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, where Castro gave a speech during a trip to the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly. Warnock’s campaign claims he played no role in the decision to host Castro.
Loeffler also warned Sunday that Democratic victories in her state’s run-off election would mean a radical agenda that would drastically change life in the US.
