First, the Washington Free Beacon reported yesterday that Ossoff has been paid over $5,000 by Al Jazeera in the last year. Ossoff’s Al Jazeera is especially concerning because the network is viewed as “mouthpiece for terrorists”:

The network was criticized as a ‘mouthpiece for terrorists‘ after it ended up with ‘exclusive’ Osama bin Laden videos after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.”

Ossoff has also displayed a stunning lack of basic facts for someone running for Congress. Last night, he was interviewed by a Democratic activist on Facebook Live. Yet even with a sympathetic questioner, Ossoff repeatedly dodged questions and offered no specifics.

First, Ossoff refused to name any specific gun control policies he would support in Congress:

Finally, Ossoff could not clearly answer a question about the scope of U.S. military presence around the world:

While National Democrats continue their all-in approach to electing Ossoff, he continues to show he isn’t qualified to be in Congress.
