Democratic congressional candidate Jon Ossoff struggled through a brutal four minutes in Georgia’s special election debate Tuesday night after Republican Karen Handel called him out for not living in the district he is hoping to represent.
As part of the debate format, the candidates were given the opportunity to ask each other questions. Handel turned to Ossoff and asked him a question he couldn’t answer: who he was going to vote for in the special election. As someone who lives outside the district, Ossoff is unable to cast a vote for himself. It went downhill from there for Ossoff.
After a prolonged silence, Ossoff defended himself by saying he lives outside the district in order to support his fiance, a medical student at Emory University. He then attacked Handel for being born in Washington, D.C. and for asking about where he lives instead of the “questions of concern to the voters of the 6th District.”
“Actually, it is of concern to the voters of the 6th district that you do not live in our community. And while I was born in Washington, D.C., I didn’t get to pick where I was born but the fact is I’ve been in Georgia almost as long as you’ve even been alive,” Handel shot back. “You might live just five miles outside of the district but your values are nearly 3,000 miles away in San Francisco, and that’s why so many of your contributions have come from liberals from California, New York and Massachusetts. It’s why you’re supported by Nancy Pelosi, and folks it matters.”
Handel appeared ready for Ossoff to make the debate about her record, as she ticked off a list of accomplishments while attacking Ossoff for not having “real experience.”

Let’s hope the voters do the right thing!
Mic. Drop.
Lol, good one.
I, like many others, have already voted early and the polling day vote favors Republicans.
He will lose by 12 points and the rats will call it a great victory.
She looks like she could wear a leather skirt and have a whip, he is wearing a ball gag....
Such a rainy night in Georgia for t Ossoff.
Dumb an Dumber
Sorry but Karen is a hot mess. That said she is still better than Paul Ryan’s body doubled
Pajama Boy can’t vote for himself?
That’s precious!
I don’t have 4 min to waste on him.
Mocking the polls is the same tactic the Dems used when they showed Trump winning his debates. How did that turn out?
I live in Spain, which is quite a ways outside of the 6th district, and I can't turn on Facebook without seeing an ad urging me to post an absentee ballot and help turn Georgia blue. How many ads have I seen urging me to help keep red? In Spanish the word would be cero.
They say Hillary lost because she got overconfident and lazy while DJT worked his butt off trying to win votes. I hope the GOP isn't falling into the same trap.
She’d never cut it in dungeon alley in NYC.
You have to be at least an 8 :)
I dated a dominatrix in my early 30s.
We used to die laughing at the things guys paid for :)
I watch the feed late on YouTube from the ABC News affiliate. The viewer poll before the wrap-up said the little twerp Ossoff won the debate by 73% but the viewer ship of WSB Ch2 includes the Atlanta liberals not the eligible voters of the Georgia Sixth.>>> thanks for posting the url/s
Ha! Good one!
I love it when Democrats put lots of cash and their fondest hopes behind a flawed candidate running an inept campaign.
I think I saw that movie! Loved him; hated her (but it's the opposite in this one).
