Georgia senate race
“It’s just outrageous what they want to do. And this is how crazy it is. This is not just radical, this agenda is very dangerous. And as a matter of fact, my opponent is actually endorsed by the Communist Party in the U.S., if you can believe that.”
— Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), in a speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Oct. 2, 2020
“I’m running against a kid named Jon Ossoff, who has been endorsed by the Communist Party.”
— Perdue, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, Oct. 1
It’s no secret that Republicans are using a “socialist” epithet against Democrats this election season, even though Democrats nominated as their presidential standard-bearer one of the most moderate candidates available.
But Perdue, who has found himself in an unexpectedly close reelection race with Democrat Jon Ossoff, has taken it one step further — all but calling his rival a commie pinko.
Echter:
“The Community Party did not endorse him,” said Roberta Wood, a CPUSA board member. “It does not endorse candidates of other political parties.” She added, “Posting an article on Facebook does not mean it is an endorsement.”
Wordt het warm in Georgia? Polling geeft aan dat Purdue licht voordeelheeft over Ossoff.
De andere race, Loeffler, (R) ( demevrowu die met voorkennis handlede), Ron Johnsons (R) en Warnock (D). ea dead heat tussen deze drie. Indien geen van de drie>50% haalt, volgt een run-off tussen nummer 1 en 2. Er is een vierde D kandidaat (Lieberman) die roet in het Dem eten gooit.
Potentieel twee Dem senaatszetels... In Georgia
