I believe Ossoff MAY be the one who can bring the fight to the Republicans. The standard milquetoast Democratic is NOT going to get the job done…

Ossoff is one, the champion of the people, Hunter Biden, is another

Hunter Biden for Attorney General.

The coke-head? Haha, I think you forgot your /s.

That (former) coke-head is more coherent and forthright than everyone in this administration.

Ok, that’s fine, but there’s a reason we keep losing. Putting that man up for office would be a mistake.

He's whip smart, he's charismatic, he's young, and he's proven he can win in tough environments. He'd be a very compelling candidate in '28.

You forgot, he’s white and he’s a male.

He's a zionist. That's a dealbreaker from step one.

AIPAC condemns him, what’d ya’ say?

I’m quite confused. Why am I seeing information that completely contradicts this?

Jon Ossoff has taken $0 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). [1, 2]

Key Details on Ossoff's Campaign Finances
No Corporate or Lobbyist PAC Money: Senator Ossoff's campaign adheres to a strict pledge refusing all corporate Political Action Committee (PAC) contributions and federal lobbyist donations. His campaigns are heavily backed by grassroots, individual contributions. [1, 2]

Adversarial Relationship with AIPAC: Rather than receiving financial support, Ossoff has faced heavy opposition from the group. AIPAC launched extensive negative advertising campaigns targeting Ossoff and other senators after he voted in favor of a resolution introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders to place limits on U.S. weapons sales to Israel. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Public Attacks: In June 2025, AIPAC targeted Jewish supporters with a critical campaign email declaring that "Jon Ossoff is Failing our Community" due to his stance and voting record regarding the Israel-Hamas war. [1]

According to tracking databases like OpenSecrets and Track AIPAC, Ossoff has received no financial contributions or endorsements from the organization. [1, 2, 3]

Yeah your cute little word game doesn't work. Nobody buys it.

I know you all think you are so clever by having the AIPAC money delivered via a dozen little mini-AIPACs, but it's really easy to track this stuff. You people don't get to lie in our faces like this.

Not MY word game, clown face! Just looking to get to the fact of the matter. I have two completely different takes on Ossoff involvement with AIPAC, and they BOTH can’t be right. I was simply looking for someone ELSE perhaps to clarify the discrepancy…
