Amid all of the mayhem surrounding the Capitol insurrection there was a major news event that was lost. So, I'll say it loud and proud:
REV. RAPHAEL WARNOCK and JON OSSOFF won their runoffs in Georgia to be United States Senators.
This was historic on so many levels:
Rev. Warnock becomes the first Black from Georgia to be a Senator
Jon Ossoff becomes the first Jew to be a Senator
The pair held back two competitors who were the incumbents.
The pair emerged the winners despite the ugliest campaign mounted by their opponents. The two relied on Trumpian tactics -- LIES, DISTORTIONS, FABRICATIONS -- they threw everything out there. It was toxic...ugly...vile
Trump "campaigned" for them while defiling Republican leaders and airing his own grievances about losing the election.
In the end, the two prevailed. In the end, the two won over the people of Georgia.
Fueled by a massive voter registration and get-out-the-vote offensive, and led by Queen Stacey Abrams, the two got the win.
So, I'll say it...again and again.
RAPHAEL WARNOCK and JON OSSOFF won their runoffs in Georgia to be United States Senators.
RAPHAEL WARNOCK and JON OSSOFF won their runoffs in Georgia to be United States Senators.
RAPHAEL WARNOCK and JON OSSOFF won their runoffs in Georgia to be United States Senators.
RAPHAEL WARNOCK and JON OSSOFF won their runoffs in Georgia to be United States Senators.
AMEN!
