Despite spending millions of dollars and recruiting a bevy of celebrities to help his cause, Democratic hopeful Jon Ossoff failed to snatch Georgia’s 6th District away from the GOP outright in a special election Tuesday, and will face Republican Karen Handel in a runoff election most observers expect him to lose.
Needless to say, several of Ossoff’s liberal celebrity backers did not take his failure to win outright well.
“I want to puke,” tweeted Ossoff’s number-one celebrity cheerleader, actress Alyssa Milano.
Later, she insisted to President Trump himself that Republicans should not count Ossoff's failure to win outright as a victory.
FYI @realDonaldTrump, Republicans didn't win. Ossoff (88.5) got more than twice as many votes than the Republican (35.5). #Fact #FlipThe6th" Milano tweeted later.
While Ossoff did receive the most votes, he was the cheerleader of a united Democratic effort in a race against at least four prominent local Republicans and eight total Republicans. Overall, Republican candidates received more votes than Ossoff, suggesting that the runoff election is likely to tilt in Karen Handel's favor now that the GOP will be unified behind her candidacy.
Although Milano might have been upset by Ossoff's loss, at least she was paying attention. Actor and comedian John Leguizamo, another of Ossoff's celebrity sponsors, seemed to be under the impression Ossoff had won. "Congratulations," Leguizamo tweeted. "You made this happen! You are our blue hope! Lets do this in all 50 states! Yay! Wepa!"
Of course, it's possible Leguizamo really is that excited about the prospect of a runoff election the Democrats are almost certain to lose.
Some liberals even took to suggesting foul play led to the disappointment for Democrats.
"Ossoff being at 50%+ when a 'bad card' issue in Handel's home county stopped all counting will make many question the result — whatever it is," wrote Huffington Post columnist Seth Abramson in a tweet, which was retweeted by avowed Trump foe Rosie O'Donnell.
Alyssa Milano..........she used to be somebody.............
I have to admit...I’ve never heard of her.
It's never their fault. Pathetic.
Some of America’s elites really don’t know their place. Those types make elite purges necessary on occasion if they go to far, i.e. the French revolution. Fortunately for them, Trump has made such a necessity much less likely. They really don’t realize how much they owe Trump for saving them from themselves.
I don’t know who this idiot is, nor do I care to know. Drama queen is someone else’s problem.
Jon Tossoff lost because of rampant misogyny, sexism and racism. /his
He used the word ‘snatch’. Bravo!
She was the daughter on Tony Danza’s “Who’s the Boss?” sitcom, as a child, and as an adult other tv SERIES............
Actually, I seriously suspect there was foul play and it did lead to the Dem fail.
The foul play was the usual voter fraud by the Dems. It led to their fail because they didn’t do it enough.
Kinda like why they lost to Trump. They underestimated the amount of fraud required to win.
As I said yesterday: Alyssa is not from the 6th congressional district. She is not even from Georgia. So it’s not really her concern, who the voters of that district select.
Before this, she was styling herself as a breastfeeding advocate. Her advocacy consisted largely of posting photos of herself breastfeeding all over the internet. Anything to get attention, I suppose.
Just another uneducated Hollywood liberal spouting off about things they know little about.
An acquaintance of a friend of a friend used to date her.
She’s every bit as bad as you think she is....and then some.
Alyssa Milano..........she used to be somebody.............
I’d never heard of her until this minute.
She was also some UN Ambassador for something or other...........
Tell ya what I’ll do, being from Utah, and we have this person we don’t want here, we will ship him to you...Egg McMuffin will fit in your group just fine, and we don’t want his kind here!!!
This will make you happy, I’m sure...
As in those pink hats? Lol.
Well, Alyssa, just puke your ossoff.
Boo Hoo!...Go F yourself Hollyweird!
