Yet this is light fare compared with the PAC’s other line of assault. In March, Ossoff filed his financial disclosures with the House, revealing that he had received five thousand dollars from Al Jazeera for “video content development/production.” According to his IMDb page and campaign staff, he worked as a producer on nine episodes of the series “Africa Investigates,” an Al Jazeera English series about undercover journalists who expose “corruption and abuse.” But any association with the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera was automatic grist. A social-media spot* flashed shaky footage of armed Arabs and an image of Osama bin Laden, captioned with large text: “MOUTHPIECE FOR TERRORISTS.” Then, over surveillance-type video of Ossoff, a voice said, “What is he hiding? How can we trust him?” Ominous snail mail followed (“Once you’ve worked for them . . . you can’t work for us”). Ossoff’s campaign manager, Keenan Pontoni, responded with a patriotic defense of the candidate’s journalistic and political career. “Jon served as a national-security aide, had top-secret clearance, and he’s proud of his work as an investigative filmmaker working for outlets all over the world, like the BBC, Sky Vision, and, yes, Al Jazeera,” Pontoni said.

Remember, it's nutty to talk about Ossoff being in the pay of Al-Jezeera, based on official filings that say he actually IS.

It's not nutty to speculate on the Trump-Putler connection without a shred of evidence.

His Film Production company is based in London.

A motto for Trump:" “MOUTHPIECE FOR FOOLS.”?
Won't release his tax returns. “What is he hiding? "

Technical difficulties uploading results in one county were delaying the vote tally.

(Rachel Maddow tomorrow if this goes to a run off)

Meanwhile, in reality, the Moronic Republican who ran against Donald Trump in Utah in 2016 is literally a former CIA agent.

Gee, I wonder who will be most likely to hack the voting machines once Democrats enact NPVIC for them. Oh, the machines are air gapped? Ever hear of Stuxnet? Two wings of the same bird: Republicans enact easily hacked paperless ballots at the state and local level, Democrats amplify the effects nationwide via NPVIC. It's the Romneycare-Obamneycare pattern, wash-rinse-repeat.

OMG. A whole $5,000 to develop a news clip for a news agency. The horror. Say it ain't so joe. The man is clearly a traitor. Good thing that looking at Trumps tax returns it clearly shows he has never done business with anyone in the middle east. They are all terrorists you know. Oh wait, trump didn't show his tax returns so we don't know who he did business with.

Trumptards are a non stop source of amusement.

That and being a former Congressional Staffer.

$8M and most of it from outside the state. I think this is the 3rd defeat for Democrats since the Election, it's a defeat because he'll probably lose by several points down in the runoff election.

I think it's more fun to watch every hopeful "Special Election that will predict our 2018 Election Performance." go down in flames.
