Abrams Tank ain’t gonna run for the Senate in 2020. But guess who will? Jon Jerkoff. Remember him? He’s the dude who came from out of nowhere ran in the special election for Tom Price’s seat when Price resigned to become Secretary of HHS.
Former congressional candidate Jon Ossoff said he will challenge Republican U.S. Sen. David Perdue and “mount a ruthless assault on corruption in our political system” that’s prevented Congress from addressing urgent issues.
What? He’s gonna go after Dimocrats?
The Democrat told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution he would “raise a grassroots army unlike any this state has ever seen” by expanding the network of supporters who helped him raise roughly $30 million in a 2017 special election he narrowly lost.
Narrowly lost? He lost by 4 points. That was the most expensive campaign for a House seat. One of the reasons he lost was he was a carpetbagger and voters in the district realized that most of his money came from out of state. If he wins the primary, it will be the same thing. Of course, whoever wins the primary will rely on mostly money from out of state.

The 32-year-old announced his Senate run in tandem with the highest-profile endorsement yet in the contest: U.S. Rep. John Lewis, the Atlanta Democrat and civil rights icon who said Ossoff “sparked a flame that is burning brighter than ever.”
Remember, you can’t say John Lewis without putting “civil rights icon” in front of his name. I think it’s in the AP style book or sumpin.
“Like the many thousands Jon has already organized and inspired, I am ready to work tirelessly to elect him,” said Lewis. “Georgia and America need Jon.”
Like we need a nuke dropped on us.
In an interview at his Grant Park home, Ossoff said his first act in the Senate would be to co-sponsor legislation that seeks to undo the Supreme Court’s Citizen United decision and allow new restrictions on corporate political donations.
But no restrictions on union contributions. Fortunately, the Senate will filibuster that or Trump will veto it so that won’t happen. Another Dimocrat wet dream down the drain.
He said he chose to run against Perdue rather than compete for the soon-to-be-vacated seat held by U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, who is stepping down at year’s end for health reasons, because Perdue “is one of the least effective and most out-of-touch members of the U.S. Senate.”
Translation: Purdue is not a RINO and he supports Trump.
Meanwhile, Jerkoff is a rat bastard commie who has nothing in common with the majority of people in Georgia. He also has to beat out at least four other Dimocrats who have actually won political office in Georgia.
