During their first debate for the US Senate seat in Georgia, incumbent Democrat Jon Ossoff whacked his Republican challenger Mike Collins multiple times for his racism, and ties to Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, but this one was particularly brutal.
MODERATOR: This question is for both of you. Georgia has been at the center of fights over voting rules and election administration. What voting rules should be left to Georgia to decide and when, if ever, should the federal government step in? Senator, 60 seconds.
OSSOFF: Well, look, Georgia has voter ID, and that's good. Mike Collins and Donald Trump, they're still obsessed with overturning the 2020 election.
Mike Collins still believes the 2020 election was stolen. Mike Collins has supported Donald Trump's effort to overturn the election, and he wants to give your tax dollars to the violent thugs and criminals who sacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
Mike Collins is attacking your voting rights, but that's not a surprise when you consider who Mike Collins is. This is a man who cheered on a group of young men who were mocking a black woman on a college campus with monkey sounds.
If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club.
His office has been in cahoots with some of the most notorious white supremacists on the country. He himself has amplified Neo-Nazi propaganda. He's never apologized for it, and he should tonight.
Collins responded by babbling about voter ID and the SAVE Act, and completely ignored what Ossoff said about him, and of course, did not apologize.
Ossoff: "If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club"
Sen. Ossoff: Mike Collins is under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars—illegally funneling public money to his violent staffer's girlfriend. And he refused to testify.
