Perdue cancels final debate with Ossoff



Tweet text:
Jon Ossoff
@ossoff

US Senate candidate, GA
BREAKING: Senator Perdue just cancelled our final debate.

At last night's debate, millions saw that Perdue had no answers when I called him out on his record of blatant corruption, widespread disease, and economic devastation.

Shame on you, Senator.

But it is cowardly and pathetic. I guess he's a big enough man to spout racist names at Kamala Harris in front of frothing MAGA idiots , but when he actually has to face an opponent he shrinks like the coward he is.

While reading this OP, a commercial with those very words was being run on YouTube, paid for by Senator Perdue.

I have spent the past 2 months hearing one ad after another alleging Ossoff's crimes against humanity, politics, commerce, people and everything else David Perdue could make up. My wife and I even joke about it. If we weren't politically-minded people, we might believe that Jon posed a threat to the world if ever elected. Every time one of these ads play, I pretend to be a robot and say "Jon Ossoff is a dangerous asshole". We both then laugh our asses off.

Meanwhile, instead of straight up answering Ossoff's accusations that he profited from insider knowledge regarding COVID-19, he simply responded that it was all lies. Senator, you had an opportunity to provide us the evidence. You didn't, because it was true.

I mean, in the era of what we would call non-partisan news (the 3 legacy broadcasters, PBS, and the papers) that debate would have ended a career.

I am wondering if that information was damaging enough, if it got some people to think, "What? wonder if there is truth to that, let me check..." or if they just go to their right wing affiliate or Fox and they get fed that it was "all lies".

I am obviously biased, but I can't see how hearing that information, anyone that was even a little bit on the fence, would go with Perdue.

This tool was exposed, and it was like someone pants'd him on national television. Good for Jon Ossof for exposing this worthless tool. Now, people of Georgia....DO THE RIGHT THING!! You saw it...REACT appropriately. Vote!!

And a scathing anti Perdue commercial was running. I did not catch who ran it, and I was wondering WHY it was running, then it dawned on me, The Atlanta Falcons were playing.
