Ossoff closes Loeffler’s criticism of Warnock: she ‘has been campaigning with a Klans man’

Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff responded to the Sen. Kelly LoefflerKelly LoefflerPush for $ 000 stimulus checks hit in the Senate saw that 2.3 million people voted in the second round of the Georgia Senate with a week for the head of the DC branch of Intercept: McConnell was “very well” with Trump losing his reelection MORE(R-Ga.) ‘S criticism of her Democratic opponent, Rev. Raphael Warnock, on Wednesday saying that she was “campaigning with a Klansman”.

Loeffler leveraged a Washington Free Beacon Report of alleged abuse in a field that Warnock oversaw in Maryland, calling the incident “disqualification” on a Monday Fox News Interview.

Ossoff was responding on Wednesday to a question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy when asked if he had “any concerns that Reverend Warnock’s allegations of wrongdoing could be a drag on the Democratic ticket” during the races of the second Senate shift next week.

“Absolutely none,” replied Ossoff in the video shared on Twitter. “Rev. Warnock addressed this problem a year ago, and this is the end result: Kelly Loeffler has been campaigning with a Klansman. “

“She is lowering herself to these cruel personal attacks to divert attention from the fact that she is campaigning with a former member of the Ku Klux Klan,” he added. “I mean, we deserve better than that here in Georgia.”

With his comments, Ossoff drew attention to the photo Loeffler took earlier this month at a campaign event with Chester Doles, who is an alleged former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and was arrested for beating up a black man.

Doles also has connections with the Hammerskins, who Southern Poverty Law Center calls the “best-organized, most widely dispersed and most dangerous skinhead group”.

Loeffler Campaign denounced Doles, with spokesman Stephen Lawson telling the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “Kelly had no idea who she was”.

“If she had, she would have thrown him out immediately because we condemn in the most vociferous terms everything he stands for,” said Lawson.

On Monday, the Washington Free Beacon reported on an alleged abuse victim who said that Camp Farthest Out counselors allegedly threw urine at him and locked him out during the night when he was 12 in 2002. Warnock oversaw the downtown children’s camp as senior pastor at Douglas Memorial Community Church.

“It’s disgusting,” Loeffler told Fox News. “It is really alarming and, frankly, it should be disqualifying.”

Michael Brewer, the director of rapid response for the Warnock campaign, told Fox News earlier this month that the camp’s allegations are “yet another of Senator Loeffler’s lowest attacks that independent fact checkers have said are ‘mostly false'”.
