Jon Ossoff destroys Tr*mp & Don Jr. over oligarch-funded wedding scandal

The Georgia Peach has spoken

Don Jr.’s one-two punch of wedding scandals has come at an inopportune time as Republicans face down midterm mayhem.

This week, we learned that Don Jr.’s wedding to the daughter of an Epstein bank president was potentially paid for with—shocker!—ill-gotten gains. Putin pal and Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for at least part of the lavish three-day celebration in May, and it’s raising questions across the Internet. And we can bet that Tr*mp Sr. is not happy about it.

For Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, however, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

On MS NOW, the Georgia Peach himself was asked his thoughts about Don Jr.’s wedding celebration in pointed terms. “Were you surprised,” Laurence O’Donnell asked Ossoff, “to discover that a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin paid for some of Donald Tr*mp Jr.’s wedding, apparently Donald Tr*mp Jr.’s father couldn’t afford it.”

Talk about saying the quiet part out loud!

Despite Tr*mp and his sons making a reported $1 billion from crypto alone—half of which came from Don Jr. and Eric Tr*mp’s main hustle, World Liberty Financial—evidently neither Tr*mp nor his son could afford to cover the cost of Don Jr.’s destination wedding in the Bahamas.

Go figure!

Ossoff, however, wasn’t surprised by any of it. He’s focused on one thing, and one thing alone: beating Tr*mp’s MAGA agenda at the polls in November.

“We are witnessing people drunk with power,” Ossoff responds, “who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt.”

Ossoff went further. “They believe they’re untouchable. They believe they’re invincible. Let’s prove them wrong.” The legal system might never catch up to the Tr*mp family crime syndicate, as the lack of Epstein-related investigations proves all too painfully. But as Ossoff says, we do have the power to oust these people from government.

Unless Tr*mp launches a fresh plan to confuse, disqualify, and intimdate voters at the polls, that is.

This week, the Supreme Court struck down Tr*mp’s attempt to doctor mail-in voting rules in a major gain for democracy. However, we know that Tr*mp has other tools in his arsenal. Since this summer, the administration has been hinting at a potential ICE presence at polling centers, an offshoot of Tr*mp’s earlier attempt to force states to hand over voter rolls to the FBI. An earlier version of the SAVE Act would have likewise disenfranchised millions of eligible voters due to the absence of a photo ID or passport.

One thing we know about Tr*mp? He has the gall, and so do all his offspring. Ossoff, however, is the kind of politician who might just prove the antidote to the Tr*mp ethos. He doesn’t fall for gotcha anti-trans talking points like some presidential hopefuls we could name, and he stays on message.

And let’s not forget that raging BDE he’s packing. We’d love to see JD Vance go toe to toe with Ossoff in 2028 just so our man can wipe the floor with him.

“Let’s leave it all on the field,” Ossoff says in a final rallying cry, “and win decisively.”
