Criticized her Democratic opponent, Reverend Raphael Warnock, by saying on Wednesday that she is “campaigning with a Klansman”.

Loeffler has one Washington Free Beacon Report of alleged abuse at a camp run by Warnock in Maryland, calling the incident “ disqualifying ” on Monday Fox News interview.

Ossoff responded to a question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Wednesday when asked if he had “any concern that the allegations of wrongdoing by Rev. Warnock might be a drag on the Democratic ticket” at the Senate race next week.

“Nothing at all,” Ossoff responded in the video shared on Twitter. Rev. Warnock addressed this issue a year ago, and the bottom line is: Kelly Loeffler is campaigning with a Klansman. “

“She is bending over to these vicious personal attacks to distract herself from campaigning with a former member of the Ku Klux Klan,” he added. “I mean we deserve better than that here in Georgia.”

With his comments, Ossoff drew attention to the photo Loeffler took earlier this month during a campaign event with Chester Doles, an allegedly former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and imprisoned for beating a black man.

Doles is also affiliated with the Hammerskins, who own the Southern Poverty Law Center calls the “best organized, most widespread and most dangerous Skinhead group.”

Loeffler’s campaign Doles criticized, with spokesman Stephen Lawson telling the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that “Kelly had no idea who that was.”

“Had she done that, she would have immediately kicked him out for condemning everything he stands for in the loudest of terms,” ​​Lawson said.

Warnock supervised the inner-city children’s camp as senior pastor at the Douglas Memorial Community Church.

“It’s disgusting,” Loeffler told Fox News. “It’s really alarming, and frankly it should be disqualifying.”

Michael Brewer, Warnock’s rapid response director, told Fox News earlier this month that the camp’s allegations are “yet another of Senator Loeffler’s lowest bouts that independent fact-checkers say are” largely untrue. “
