Sen. Ossoff: “..The hatred that Mike Collins promotes is a relic of the bad old days. Georgia’s spirit of tolerance will overwhelm and defeat bigotry, and our defense of voting rights will be so fierce that no plot against the franchise will foil the will of the people.“
Atlanta, Ga. — Today, in an address to Beulah Missionary Baptist Church, Sen. Ossoff slammed GOP U.S. Senate nominee and Trump loyalist Mike Collins for openly aligning and associating with bigotry and antisemitism while propping up efforts to diminish Black political power.
Collins, Trump’s handpicked candidate, is pro-war, pro-tariff, and voted to raise insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians to give the wealthiest Americans and corporations another tax break. The scandal-ridden candidate is currently under investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars and has a longstanding offensive record of antisemitism and bigotry.
“The election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller’s total and humiliating submission. You may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate. The Congressman’s son, who supports war and cutting your health care and openly associates himself with bigotry and antisemitism, who defends the violent mob that sacked the Capitol on the morning of January 6th, 2021 – do you remember that morning, Beulah? To this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated President,” said Sen. Ossoff.
