Hello,
Mike Collins is demanding that Jon Ossoff return his Epstein cash. Ossoff hypocritically claims he’s fighting the ‘Epstein Class,’ a phrase Ossoff coined himself. But Ossoff has taken a maxed out donation from Reid Hoffman who visited Epstein’s pedophile island. Hoffman is also bankrolling a PAC supporting Ossoff. Ossoff has taken at least $100,000 from other Epstein elites.
“Jon Ossoff is the ‘Epstein Class.’ Georgians deserve better than an empty suit who will say and do anything to advance his political ambitions,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Nick Puglia.

EXCLUSIVE: Ossoff challenged to return Epstein-linked donation or retract ‘Epstein class’ attack

…Ossoff has framed his re-election effort as pushing back on the influence of wealthy elites and getting big money out of politics. However, his campaign received the maximum legal contribution of $7,000 from Silicon Valley billionaire Reid Hoffman, a venture capitalist who previously admitted to visiting Epstein’s private island. Hoffman also donated $1 million to an Ossoff-linked political action committee, New Engagement PAC.
…But Ossoff’s Republican challenger, Rep. Mike Collins, says that accepting donations from Hoffman shows Ossoff “has been nothing but a hypocrite the entire time.”
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Collins said he is giving Ossoff a very simple choice: return the Reid Hoffman donation or explain why the “Epstein class” does not include one of his own maximum-dollar donors.
…
However, one of Ossoff’s donors, Hoffman, a Seattle-based billionaire, has previously admitted to spending a night on Epstein’s Caribbean island. Their first known meeting was on July 19, 2013, almost five years after Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida to state charges of soliciting prostitution and procuring a minor for prostitution. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology records, Hoffman, then a member of the university’s Media Lab Advisory Council, met with Epstein alongside other faculty members on campus.
The next year, Hoffman visited Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James, and stayed overnight, The Wall Street Journal reported. Business Insider reported that in a recent podcast appearance, Hoffman admitted to staying one night at Epstein’s island as part of an MIT fundraising trip. Regarding his visit, he quipped, “Note to self: Google before going.”
The Wall Street Journal reported that later in 2014, Hoffman sent Epstein ice cream, writing that it was for him or “for the girls.”
…
This election cycle, Hoffman donated $7,000 to Ossoff’s campaign.
In August, Hoffman also donated $1 million to New Engagement PAC, a Georgia-based political organization run by former Ossoff senior advisor Alexander Edelman. New Engagement has spent nearly $500,000 on media opposing Collins, according to September FEC filings reviewed by Fox News Digital.Collins told Fox News Digital that Ossoff’s acceptance of Hoffman’s donations is “sending a plain and clear message to the voters of Georgia.”
“He doesn’t care about our state; he doesn’t represent the people of the state or the values of our state. If he did, he certainly wouldn’t be associating himself with some of the Epstein friends out there, just taking money directly, maxed out, from Reid Hoffman who was in the Epstein files as an Epstein friend,” he said.
He noted, “I could see it now if somebody gave you 20 bucks, and you didn’t know who it was, but when somebody maxes out to your campaign directly, you know who they are, but yet you still take it. And then you turn around, and you go out there like a hypocrite, and you talk about President Trump and the Epstein files when you, in fact, are tied to it.”
