Joe Scum and his anti-Semitism

I'll paraphrase: Jon Ossoff should not be running because a Southern Democrat should be a Jimmy Carter/Zell Miller type and Ossoff doesn't belong in Georgia.

Of course he stated the requisite disclaimers.

Whether or not Scarborough thinks Ossoff should be less progressive, he said nothing about his religion.

I'd have to hear the context to be sure.

except Mika who rolled her eyes and signed. Saying Ossoff looked like a character from Warren Beattie's "Reds", he wasn't a business-type/chamber of commerce type like candidates should be, that he didn't live in the district, evoked San Francisco, film maker, and Pelosi, etc.

No mention of Ossoff's religion that I recall. But it was still disgusting enough.
