Jon Ossoff calls Trump’s handling of Iran war ‘uniquely despicable’ in excoriating speech
Georgia Democratic senator has stoked speculation for 2028 presidency bid by delivering stinging attacks on Trump Democratic senator Jon Ossoff has attacked Donald Trump’s “uniquely despicable” handling of the US-Israel war on Iran, accusing the US president of “re-rigging” a corrupt system for himself in an excoriating speech. Ossoff, who is running for re-election in Georgia in November, has repeatedly stoked speculation that he is laying the ground for a bid for the US presidency in 2028 by delivering a series of stinging attacks on Trump and his administration. “They made you pay more for everything, and took us to war on lies, and spent most of last year trying to cover up for the world’s most famous pedophile while the crook president and his crook family raked in billions while your tax dollars were put to work backing Trump’s businesses,” Ossoff said at a rally in midtown Atlanta on Sunday afternoon. See, he doesn’t want to do the job. Yes, the system is really rigged. But he’s not unrigging it.
