BREAKING: Sen. Jon Ossoff SLAMS Trump as TERRIFIED of losing power and willing to torch democracy to save his own skin. Senator Jon Ossoff just went SCORCHED EARTH on Donald Trump while speaking to reporters today outside the Capitol — and he didn't hold back on exactly why Trump is spiraling. Facing questions about reports that Trump may push the Justice Department to investigate Georgia's elections and potentially challenge the state’s sitting senators' legitimacy, Ossoff laid out the stakes in blunt terms: Trump is terrified of losing power, and he's willing to torch democracy itself to hold onto it. "He's pocketing billions of dollars for himself while he drives up prices for the American people," Ossoff told reporters. "He fears defeat in the midterms, and that explains his spiral into conspiracy theories." Asked whether Trump declaring election fraud might warrant invoking the 25th Amendment, Ossoff didn't blink: "I think it's time for the president to do something of value for the American people instead of lining his own pockets while he's in office." But the most striking moment came when Ossoff connected the dots on WHY Trump is fixated on Georgia specifically. "From the very moment Georgia voters rejected him in 2020, he's been on the warpath because he was humiliated by the rebuke that Georgians dealt him," Ossoff said. "And he was humiliated and furious in particular, AS A COMMITTED LIFELONG RACIST, that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat." That's not rhetoric. That's a sitting U.S. senator naming exactly what's driving a sitting president's assault on American elections. Ossoff also didn't let Georgia Republicans off the hook, pointing out that Congressman Mike Collins — who's launched his campaign to unseat Ossoff in November while doubling down on 2020 election denialism — now has to defend both Trump's conspiracy theories AND a health insurance premium hike that's hit more than a million Georgians. "Let's see how Mike Collins handles this now," Ossoff said. Perhaps most telling: Ossoff revealed that privately, "most elected Republicans in this building think the president has lost it and is dooming them to dismal losses this fall." They just won't say it publicly. Trump isn't fighting for election integrity. He’s fighting to keep Democrats from gaining control of Congress and finally holding him accountable for his multitude of crimes and misdeeds. He's fighting against the voters — especially Black voters — who rejected him once already, both in Georgia and other states across the country. His racist, authoritarian agenda must be defeated!
