Democrat Jon Ossoff lost his bid against Republican Karen Handel in Georgia’s Sixth District special congressional election Tuesday night, representing a stunning rebuke of Hollywood and the numerous celebrities who stumped for and contributed to the Democrat’s campaign.(snip)
Ossoff, a 30-year-old documentary filmmaker-turned-Democratic politician, had received a steady stream of support from some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Some of the most vocal celebrity critics of President Donald Trump, including Rosie O’Donnell, Jane Fonda, and Samuel L. Jackson, donated time and money to help Ossoff’s campaign.
In April, Jackson cut a 45-second radio ad endorsing Ossoff, urging Georgia voters to “stop Donald Trump, a man who encourages racial and religious discrimination and sexism.”
Actor John Leguizamo’s assertion that democracy itself hinged on Ossoff winning underscored how desperate Hollywood was to send a resounding message of resistance to Trump’s presidency.

With all the Russia nonsense going on, I’ve heard rats call for better paper trails to prevent election fraud. The Russia ploy just might get us election integrity .
Remember these names. They are the enemies of freedom. They should be radioactive at the box office.
It’s interesting to watch. It’s so over-the-top that you’d like to think that average young people would see it for what it is. I think some do, of course it’s just a matter of how many and also how many don’t realize their being brainwashed. It certainly doesn’t seem to be converting the masses in general to their view.
I believe they lost patience and went to far too quickly, maybe because they realized they were losing control of narrative. When you go full libtard it’s kinda obvious.
Excuse me, libs, while I go back to gloating.
