Jon Ossoff strikes back at Trumps Twitter tantrum about Georgias special election


Jon Ossoff strikes back at Trump’s Twitter tantrum about Georgia’s special election

One day before people in Georgia's traditionally very red 6th Congressional District cast their ballots, Donald Trump's Twitter outburst underlines Republicans' mounting fear that Democrats could take the seat — and others like it in 2018.








............... ...Previously, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer suggested the administration was not even paying attention to this race. But apparently Trump has since been filled in, because one day before the election, he lashed out at Ossoff on Twitter:











For the record, Ossoff has not said he wants to do any of those things — but given one of his slogans is “Make Trump Furious,” he was thrilled to receive the president’s attention:

While I’m glad the President is interested in the race, he is misinformed. I’m focused on bringing fresh leadership, accountability, and bipartisan problem solving to Washington to cut wasteful spending and grow metro Atlanta’s economy into the Silicon Valley of the South.

Random outbursts on social media are par for the course from Trump, who frequently uses Twitter to parrot claims from conspiracy theorists, weigh in on something he just saw on cable TV, and otherwise vent his frustrations.
