GOP Super PAC Releases Closing Ad Against Jon Ossoff

Congressional Leadership Fund is spending $7 million in Georgia race

The biggest outside spender in Georgia’s 6th District race is taking one final shot at Democrat Jon Ossoff.

Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC backed by House GOP leadership, is launching its final TV ad in the race Tuesday, with just a week to go until the June 20 runoff.

Part of CLF's $7 million independent expenditure in the district, the ad returns to one of the group’s earliest attacks against Ossoff — namely that he’s “not ready for Congress.”

The first outside group to invest in the open-seat race, CLF debuted that line of attack in March, trying to paint Ossoff as young and inexperienced and accusing him of exaggerating his national security credentials. That’s been a consistent GOP hit on the 30-year-old first-time candidate.

In Tuesday’s ad, CLF accuses Ossoff of declining to participate in a CNN debate “because he doesn’t want to answer the tough questions.” Ossoff’s campaign has said that it would only participate in debates moderated by “the metro Atlanta press corps.”

and this ad just says that Jon is young, which we all know. It doesn't say anything new. Jon will run a counter ad, and I think those have been quite effective.

to be well versed and ready for Congress, while Handel just mimic basic talking points and she did that terribly especially with "not supporting a living wage" comment

the GOP is throwing everything they can at Ossoff and hopefully by the grace of god, we see him win and win convincingly.
