The majority of Trump’s rally in Georgia was spent lying about Sen. Jon Ossoff. Did you know that Donald Trump once ran for the House of Representatives in Georgia? To hear Donald Trump tell the story, he single-handedly beat Jon Ossoff in a House special election in 2017.
You might be thinking, wasn’t Karen Handel the Republican candidate who narrowly beat Jon Ossoff in a runoff? It was Karen Handel who was the candidate, but in Trump’s retelling of events, she has been reduced to being a “nice lady named Karen.”
The odds are that Donald Trump would not recognize Karen Handel if she walked up on stage and kicked him in the back of the pants, but in Trump’s retelling of history, nobody is bigger than Trump.

Trump claimed that Jon Ossoff wasn’t legitimately elected to the Senate, and that David Perdue was the actual winner of the Senate election. Trump managed to hold a second rally this week where he relitigated old elections that he thinks were rigged. He did the same thing in Arizona.
Things went off the rails when two protesters interrupted Trump’s rally for a long time.
The protesters have been getting into Trump’s rallies more frequently and showing that there is no safe place for the president to hide from his unpopularity.
It was Trump’s meltdown in response to being protested that was noteworthy.
