Karen Handel Falsely Suggests Jon Ossoff 'Has $30 Million Behind Him'

[TexasTowelie]

Surrounded by a few supporters Monday afternoon Republican congressional candidate Karen Handel criticized her Democratic opponent Jon Ossoff just one day before Tuesday's special election.

After telling a reporter she wasn't concerned the race was so tight and it would not influence they way she votes in congress should she get elected, Handel said, "you know, the Democrats put a lot of money into this."

The former Komen for the Cure senior vice president who almost single-handedly destroyed the breast cancer non-profit when she tried to remove the organization's funding of Planned Parenthood, then offered up a fib.

After suggesting Democrats spent more than Republicans in the Georgia race – they did not, according to a report by NBC News – Handel said: "I mean, not for nothing, a squirrel is going to get a pretty decent percentage of the vote if he has $30 million behind him."

1. So why isn't that a good thing?

Republicans are supposed to be rich, so rich is good, right? Or rich isn't good if you're a Democrat? It's 23 million, but still a lot that folks have contributed. Making these contests about money doesn't mean that they will always win.
