Democratic Senate contender Jon Ossoff shut down Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R-Ga.) criticism of her opponent Rev. Raphael Warnock by saying on Wednesday that she had been “campaigning with a Klansman.â€
Loeffler has leveraged a Washington Free Beacon report of alleged abuse at a camp that Warnock oversaw in Maryland, calling the incident “disqualifying†in a Monday Fox News interview.
But Ossoff fired back on Wednesday after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked him if he had “any concern that the allegations of wrongdoing by Rev. Warnock could possibly be a drag on the Democratic ticket†during the Senate runoff races next week.
“None whatsoever,†Ossoff responded in the video shared on Twitter. “Rev. Warnock addressed this issue a year ago, and here’s the bottom line Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman.â€
“She is stooping to these vicious personal attacks to distract from the fact that she’s been campaigning with a former member of the Ku Klux Klan,†he added. “I mean we deserve better than that here in Georgia.â€
