Despite spending millions of dollars and recruiting a bevy of celebrities to help his cause, Democratic hopeful Jon Ossoff failed to snatch Georgias 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 Ossoffs liberal celebrity backers did not take his failure to win outright well.
I want to puke, tweeted Ossoffs 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.
Yeah...well...she’s still hot.
Charmed, I’m sure.
The Russians did it again.
She may be ‘hot’ on the outside, but inside she is as ugly as sin..................
A+++++!.................
She used to be two someones, if you know what I mean.
I thought he had won.....
Go ahead and puke, it looks good on you. You worthless piece of human flesh.
I’m afraid I don’t...............
And what immediately followed the French Revolution would be in the demoRATS SOP. More like they are trying to do that now.
During the just ended Special Election campaign ossoff ran ads EVERY commercial break; sometimes two ads if it was a longer break. I thought (prayed) there would be respite before they took off again, but no luck. He's got a new round of ads already going. It only makes me hate jackass more, but the weak minded get indoctrinated and he really only needs a couple of percentage points, so in the words of Yogi Berra "It ain't over till it's over". The GOP, and especially Handel, who sports a losing record, better not get complacent and start counting chickens!
Not anymore!
“Later, she insisted to President Trump himself that Republicans should not count Ossoff’s failure to win outright as a victory.”
Trump doesn’t Milano you dummy. The Constitution does.
champ, first, number one, conqueror, vanquisher, victor, winner,.........................take your pick.

Interesting that only white males where available in Atlanta. Democratic White Privilege!
It's the liberal calling card.
Good grief, ladies, it's an election. Why are you getting the vapors?
Reminds me of Chelsea Handler fanning herself on election night, and breaking into tears.
Every time a Democrat female opens her mouth, the country is reminded why we have never had a Lady President...sorry, but true.
