Sen. Jon Ossoff doubled down on his comments about Trump's disgusting, enabling sycophants he's surrounded himself with after the right wing freakout this week over his line about Trump's "binky," Natalie Harp.
MS Now host Lawrence O'Donnell asked Ossoff during an interview this Wednesday why "of all the things you've said about Donald Trump" this is the one that apparently bothers Trump and everyone at his White House the most.
Ossoff didn't hold back his disdain for the lot of them:
OSSOFF: Lawrence, it's been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week.
And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer with immense power in positions of public trust.
And whether it's Natalie Harp printing out Donald Trump's daily dose of delusion and flattery, or Peter Navarro steering taxpayer-funded loans to Trump family investments, or Pete Hegseth deluding the president daily into deepening this quagmire in the Middle East, no one cares about their feelings.
The sailors on the Lincoln are fighting his war, a war based on lies, while he plays with his new ballroom, flies around on a jet given to him by a foreign prince, and retreats into this circle of sycophantic aides who tell him every day what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.
This entire White House is responsible for lying the country into war, and for the rest of their careers, they will be known for having participated in the obscenity.
O'Donnell pointed out that some critics are claiming Ossoff is just looking for sound bites to go viral specifically intended to provoke Trump and asked him to explain his intentions. Ossoff laid out the stakes and took a shot at his corrupt opponent while he was at it.
OSSOFF: I'm trying to make sure that folks in Georgia know the truth about this administration. And apparently, in the White House, the truth hurts.
They have lied us into war after promising peace. They have driven inflation, skyrocketing, thrown people off their health insurance, doubled health insurance premiums for more than a million Georgians after they promised to bring down prices on day one.
And the president's done so enabled not just by hangers-on and sycophants in the White House, but also Republicans in Congress who have enabled him at every turn.
And one of them is Congressman Mike Collins here in Georgia, the pro-war, pro-tariff, pro-cutting-your-healthcare bigot congressman, Trump puppet, who's running for the U.S. Senate.
And Lawrence, I want people to understand the following, because I've heard some rosy predictions about this Senate race in Georgia. This is Georgia. This is the most competitive battleground state in the country.
The president's allies are right now, as we speak, committing tens of millions of dollars to attacking me. I guarantee that within weeks, the polling will be within the margin of error.
And there is no path back to the Senate majority without winning this race in Georgia.
So if you are fed up with what's happening to our country and the lies from this White House, and the war and the inflation and you want to take action right now, pick up your phone, pick up your laptop, go to electjon, electjon.com and help empower me and my team to win this crucial Senate race in Georgia.
Ossoff hit the White House again after O'Donnell pointed out that he must know that given the way he's campaigning, and the language he's using, that he was inviting Trump to "unload all the resources possible" to defeat him.
OSSOFF: Well, the White House is obviously deeply offended when it's pointed out that they've broken every promise they made, that they've lied the nation into a war they know not how to end or how to win.
And yes, I expect them to spend tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to try to win this Senate race in Georgia.
When I unseated Purdue back in 2020 and 2021, Lawrence, they wound up spending almost 300 million dollars to try to fend me off in that race.
This is a crucial and competitive battleground state. I'm gonna continue telling the truth, and I'm asking folks to help at electjon.com.
The rest of the Democrats out there running this cycle could take a few lessons from Ossoff on how to campaign. Hit them and don't back down.
