I’m proud to have joined Minnesotans in exercising our fundamental American freedoms - of speech, assembly, to disagree with our government.
These rights are enshrined in our Constitution. And, they are what makes America great.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully.
