Today, Georgia’s Republican State Senate Majority Leader Jason Anavitarte slammed Jon Ossoff for continuing to remain silent on the arrest of Venezuelan dictator and indicted drug trafficker Nicolas Maduro. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote today on Venezuela, and Georgians still don’t know if Ossoff stands with pro-dictator Democrats or President Trump’s efforts to keep Americans safe.
Majority Leader Jason Anavitarte: “Jon Ossoff remained silent all week after President Trump successfully arrested the indicted drug trafficker and cartel leader whose regime led to the murder of Laken Riley at the University of Georgia by an illegal from Venezuela. Georgians deserve to know where you stand on keeping them safe, Senator.”
Background:
- Ossoff voted against a version of the Laken Riley Act in 2024, and then flip-flopped in an attempt to save his political career.
- Ossoff remained silent after an illegal was arrested for murdering a Georgia mother of five.
- Ossoff won’t acknowledge the arrest of an actual dictator, but never misses a chance to recklessly call President Trump an “authoritarian.”
