U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., criticized President Donald Trump’s claims about the 2020 election results in Georgia, characterizing them as ‘debunked conspiracy theories.’ Ossoff warned that any attempt by the president to challenge the state’s election integrity is an attack on the electorate itself.
Trump’s Planned Address
Trump is scheduled to deliver a prime-time national address focusing on alleged election fraud. Ossoff pointed to the 2020 post-election phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, during which Trump asked Raffensperger to ‘find’ the votes necessary to reverse his loss in the state.
Ossoff called the planned use of the broadcast ‘presidential misconduct’ and an ‘abuse of the bully pulpit.’ He argued that the address is a distraction from other national issues, including conflict in the Middle East and the rising cost of living.
