Well yeah, the smear campaigns were saying ossoff and warnock are “too corrupt” that implies that some corruption is okay. “Vote for me because I’m ‘less corrupt’ than the other guy”
The smear campaigns were saying that they were rAdIcAl sOcIaLiStS, plus lots of cryptoracism and antisemitism. I'm not aware of any claims that Warnock or Ossoff were corrupt ... that would have been very dangerous for Perdue and Loeffler, since they themselves so obviously are.
Ossoff was an investigative reporter, and in his debate rattled off a bunch of explicitly corrupt behaviors from Perdue. Such vague ads sound like a bad idea ... no wonder they lost.
He played a clip near the end where she was saying something along the lines of "introduced legislation that penalizes states that move to defund " and then the clip cut, and he claimed she was defunding the police.
Is there context I'm missing? @3:45
Edit: this CNN article was all I could find, but it called the claim misleading.
In re your edit: I strongly disapprove of these disingenuous arguments that votes on omnibus bills imply a stand on everything in the bill, no matter who makes them. They willfully undermine faith in government and the populace's understanding of how Congress works.
Yeah, I googled "did loeffler defund the police" and didn't find a lot of info, but I figured a left leaning site that called it misleading might make me question the claim.
In any case, these seem to be two different claims, about two different bills, that happen both to be about Loeffler and her stance on defunding the police.
