GA Rethug Perdue Raises $2 Million For Opponent


Last Friday, when redneck racist Trumper Georgia Sen. David "Perdon't" Perdue mocked the pronunciation of VP candidate Sen. Kamala Harris' name, the mouth- breathing crowd of COVID-spreading Trump cultists laughed. But it's Sen. Harris and Perdon't opponent Jon Ossoff who have had a laugh on him.  According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

"Perdue delighted the crowd Friday at President Donald Trump’s rally in Macon when he butchered the California senator’s name multiple times, saying: “Kamala? Kamala? Kamala-mala-mala? I don’t know. Whatever.”

But the repeated mispronunciation, which his campaign claimed was not purposeful, competed for media attention with Trump’s remarks in Georgia and led to searing criticism on the airwaves and the campaign trail.

By Sunday evening, Democrat Jon Ossoff said he raised more than $1.8 million from at least 42,000 donors from Perdue’s viral moment. And the #MyNameIs hashtag trended on Saturday as social media users shared the meaning of their names — along with criticism of Perdue." (our emphasis)

Not only was the blow-dried moron's campaign forced to backtrack for the intentional slight, stepping on the dog whistle he intended, but he raised nearly $2 million for his opponent. Perdon't self-own is the stuff of legend. Let's run up the contributions to Dem challenger Jon Ossoff by donating here.
