Political Factoid
Jon Ossoff, Democratic Candidate for US
Senator from Georgia, challenged the
Republican incumbent, Sen. David Perdue
(R-GA) in a debate hosted by Savannah
television station WTOC-TV. (2020-Oct-28)
- "You did say covid-19 was no deadlier than the flu.
You did say there would be no significant uptick in
cases. All the while, you were looking after your
own assets, and your own portfolio, and you did
vote four times to end protections for preexisting
conditions."
- "Perhaps Sen. Perdue would have been able to
respond properly to the COVID-19 pandemic if you
hadn't been fending off multiple federal
investigations for insider trading."
- "It's not just that you're a crook, senator, It's that
you're attacking the health of the people that you
represent."
- "First, you were lengthening my nose in attack ads
to remind everybody that I'm Jewish. Then, when
that didn't work, you started calling me some kind of
Islamic terrorist. Then, when that didn't work, you
started calling me a Chinese Communist."
- "You shouldn't do everything that your handlers in
Washington tell you to -- because you'll lose your
soul along the way."
The next day, Sen. Perdue said he did not want to
participate in the final scheduled debate with Ossoff.
