I’m not always a fan of Donna Brazile, and I’m not always a fan of Democrats going regularly on Fox News and give them a spectre of “fair and balanced”. But Brazile’s new opinion piece on Fox News’ website is a home run, not only because I love the headline of this diary. The piece original title is also quite cool, namely “GOP Senate candidates in Georgia are Trump puppets who act like contestants on ‘The Apprentice’”. And in the body of the column, Brazile makes an excellent case for Jon Ossoff & Raphael Warnock, and against David Perdue & Kelly Loeffler:
- It’s in the national interest
It’s in the national interest for Georgia voters to follow up on their support for President-elect Biden by voting Tuesday to elect Democrats Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock to the Senate. [...]
The incoming administration of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris needs a Senate willing to work with them to fully and effectively respond to the deadly coronavirus pandemic, an economic crisis, systemic racism in our nation’s law enforcement, the existential threat of climate change, and other important challenges our nation faces.
Unfortunately and disgracefully, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has made it clear that he will block, stonewall and try to derail every action by the Biden administration.
- Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are very good candidates
The truth is that Warnock and Ossoff are mainstream candidates dedicated to public service, and they echo President-elect Biden’s hopeful unifying message. They are laser-focused on the facts, the issues, and the values that matter to suffering Georgians in these perilous times.
- David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are very bad senators
Loeffler and Perdue, on the other hand, have hitched their wagons to a lame-duck president and have repeatedly refused to even acknowledge President-elect Biden’s victory. They agree with anything Trump says, even if that requires them to flip-flop on their positions on issues. They act as if they are running to be selected by Trump to be his employees on "The Apprentice," rather than to represent the people of Georgia in the Senate.
Donna Brazile is right. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are the right choice, for Georgia and for the nation. Let’s get them across the finish line. If you can, please chip in a few bucks for Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock and some of their key allies in Georgia via ActBlue!
