David Perdue Offers to Buy Bernie Sanders, Other Socialists Plane Tickets to Georgia to Back Jon Ossoff in Runoff
Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) is offering to buy his socialist colleague, Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats, and other congressional socialists plane tickets so they can campaign with Democrat Jon Ossoff ahead of the January 5 runoff in Georgia.
Perdue also offered to buy a plane ticket for socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who like Sanders supports Ossoff, to campaign for the Georgia Democrat.
“Jon Ossoff is eager to put his socialist supporters like AOC and Bernie on liberal cable news shows, but he won’t have them come down and campaign for him in Georgia,” Perdue told Breitbart News exclusively on Saturday. “Is he worried they’ll expose him for the radical trust fund socialist that he really is? I’ve been proud to hit the trail with conservative leaders like Vice President Pence and our president, Donald Trump. Ossoff should be willing to do the same with his top supporters. If his campaign won’t buy plane tickets for Bernie and AOC, we would be happy to buy their tickets.”
Perdue’s statement comes after Sanders appeared on MSNBC on Saturday morning hyping Ossoff and the other Democrat Senate candidate, Rev. Raphael Warnock. Warnock will face Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in the other runoff on January 5.
“We’re all working as hard as we can to make sure that the two Democratic candidates win in Georgia,” Sanders said on MSNBC on Saturday. “Those two elections will clearly have a profound impact on everybody in our country”:
Ossoff has similarly publicly embraced Sanders and his radical socialist agenda, per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which described the Georgia Democrat’s “embrace” of Sanders as a “shift for Georgia Democrats.”
“I welcome his support,” Ossoff said of Sanders during a recent CNN interview. “His advocacy for ensuring that health care is a human right in this country, for putting the interests of working families over corporate interests is welcome, is necessary, is appreciated. And so is his support.”
While Ossoff is welcoming of Sanders’ support, which Sanders continues pushing forward publicly as recently as this weekend, Sanders has not yet made a campaign trip to Georgia to appear with Ossoff and Warnock yet. Neither has Ocasio-Cortez, who has also been publicly supportive of the Georgia Democrat candidates.
Republicans pounced on the Sanders comments on Saturday to link Ossoff and Warnock to the radical socialist from Vermont as much as possible.
