WTAS: “Jon Ossoff got defensive with Peter Doocy after the Fox News reporter asked him about potential business links to the Chinese government”

What They Are Saying

“Jon Ossoff got defensive with Peter Doocy after the Fox News reporter asked him about potential business links to the Chinese government”

Jon Ossoff is ringing in the New Year with a slew of negative headlines for his refusal to answer questions about his deepening China scandal. The same day it was revealed that Ossoff’s company produced a film that “praised China’s growing power and influence in Africa,” the trust fund socialist also “got defensive” when Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked him about his ever-changing story on his business connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

Here is a look at what they’re saying about what has become “a key issue in the Georgia runoff.”

Fox News: “Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff is pushing back against Republican claims that he knowingly failed to disclose compensation from Hong Kong company PCCW Media Limited, which is connected to the Chinese government after he amended a campaign financial disclosure...The Perdue campaign for months has attacked Ossoff over the media company connection, with the first-term senator bringing it up during an October debate.” 

The Daily Caller: “Jon Ossoff got defensive with Peter Doocy after the Fox News reporter asked him about potential business links to the Chinese government during a Thursday campaign event in Suwanee, Georgia.”

Townhall: “Georgia Senate candidate Jon Ossoff was not in the mood to answer Fox News reporter Peter Doocy’s question if he is concerned about potential influence from the Chinese Communist Party through his past foreign business deals. Ossoff had profited off of a media company that was owned in part by the Chinese government and did not disclose those dealings before the primary.”

The Federalist: “As the Georgia Senate runoff election fast approaches, questions continue about Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff’s views on and connections to communist China. In 2012, Ossoff used his Twitter to promote the CCP-controlled media, Xinhua News Agency, which has repeatedly denied human rights violations against the Uyghur people and spoken out against the Hong Kong democracy protests. In his tweet, Ossoff suggested people follow the propaganda outlet for information about China’s political affairs.”

Newsweek: “Fox New’s Peter Doocy sparred with Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff, who is running against incumbent Republican Senator David Perdue, outside a political meet-and-greet in Suwanee, Georgia on Thursday. Doocy asked Ossoff if he was concerned that someone linked to China could be attempting to influence him, referring to California Congressman Eric Swalwell, who had been reportedly targeted by a Chinese espionage operation. ‘C’mon man. You’re a serious reporter,’ Ossoff said to Doocy.”

Georgia Memo: “Jon Ossoff not only shares the similarity with the Biden family of having concerning Chinese business dealings, but the Georgia Democratic Senate candidate is also now parroting Joe Biden when pressed on the issue. Fox News’ Peter Doocy on Thursday approached Ossoff in a Suwanee parking lot and brought up the recent revelation that a Chinese spy spent years trying to compromise Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA). Doocy alluded to China’s strategy of targeting young, up-and-coming U.S. officials with their influence and espionage campaigns, before referencing Ossoff’s business having received funds from a Hong Kong-based company tied to the Chinese Communist Party. The Democrat has been elusive, at best, regarding the amount of funds his business received from this one company, and even recently told The Washington Post further financial records related to his business dealings would ‘remain confidential.”’

Perdue on Fox News: Ossoff Needs to Be Asked About His China Problem

Perdue on Fox News: Ossoff Needs to Be Asked About His China Problem

“It’s amazing to me that you can have the Eric Swalwell crisis, the Hunter Biden crisis, and ignore the Jon Ossoff crisis.”

ATLANTA, GA – Senator David Perdue joined Julie Banderas on Fox News from quarantine this afternoon to discuss the state of the race and Jon Ossoff’s concerning connections to the Chinese Communist Party.

Click here or below to watch the full segment.

HIGHLIGHTS

On Following His Doctor’s Recommendation to Quarantine 

“My wife and I are doing just fine, we tested negative… We had someone test positive yesterday morning, and according to CDC guidelines and our doctor’s recommendations, with an abundance of caution, we have decided to go into quarantine these last few days. It’s terrible timing, but we are not going to miss a step. We’re going to participate in all these events as if I were there… We washed our hands, watched our distance, and we’ve been wearing masks, following all the protocols. This is just part of the year we’ve been in…

“I want to go back to what I heard that my opponent just said: he defined the problem but he has never offered a solution for this COVID crisis. As a matter of fact, when he was pushed on it in a debate, by himself, he said, ‘I don’t want to get bogged in the details.’ As a matter of fact, we were in the details providing $47 billion for our state which saved a million and a half jobs, he opposed it at the same time his father took a loan to save his business. The Democrats don’t want to talk about the issues. They are really all about hiding the agenda they are trying to perpetrate, and distracting voters from the real issues.”

On Additional COVID Relief for Georgians

“First of all, this should have been done back in September… Some $15 billion in the PPP came to Georgia, and as I said, saved 1.5 million jobs here. We knew that in the fall we would need more help, tried to get it, and the Democrats blocked it several times going into the presidential election. They didn’t want to give President Trump a win. Now we’ve been pushing in the last two months, we finally got a compromise. Certainly we need more help than the $600. The $2,000, I fully support, the President’s right.”

On Ossoff’s China Problem 

“[Peter Doocy] is a serious reporter, that’s why the question needs to be asked. But it’s not asked by any of the liberal media that’s out there. It’s amazing to me that you can have the Eric Swalwell crisis, the Hunter Biden crisis, and ignore the Jon Ossoff crisis. This is clearly a pattern of activity from the Chinese Communist Party. They identified Jon Ossoff — after his 2017 attempt to run for the U.S. House and lost — they identified him as an ambitious young politician on the Democratic side that they probably could get influence. So they hired him and he worked for two years for this propaganda company, the Chinese Communist Party, Julie, and he hid it from the people of Georgia during his primary. He might not have won that primary had he fully disclosed that. He got caught, he then disclosed it, lied about it and lied about it again, and he still didn’t answer Peter’s question. If you notice that, he never has an answer to that question.”

NEW: Ossoff’s Company Produced Film Promoting China’s Influence Abroad

January 1, 2021  |  

Filed Under: Latest News, News From The Trail, Press Releases Tagged With: 2020 election, david perdue, Jon Ossoff

NEW: Ossoff’s Company Produced Film Promoting China’s Influence Abroad

New developments keep emerging about Ossoff’s ties to China as he dismisses and ignores any and all questions about them.

A new report shows that Ossoff’s shady foreign film company Insight TWI produced a film that “praised China’s growing power and influence in Africa.” Ossoff has often touted his company’s work as part of his resume on the campaign trail. This comes after Ossoff was caught promoting Chinese communist propaganda on his personal social media posts.

Ossoff responded flippantly and dismissively to questions about his ties to China from Fox News‘ Peter Doocy yesterday, saying “c’mon man” when asked if China may be targeting him the way they targeted Eric Swalwell. For months, Ossoff has refused to provide full details about payments he received from the Chinese communist government through a media company.

With revelations that Ossoff’s company not only took secret payments from China but also produced films promoting their activities abroad, the questions can no longer be ignored. With just days left until the runoff election, will Ossoff finally come clean about his ties to China?

In The News: “Opportunist Jon Ossoff Has A Sketchy History Of Cozying Up To Communist China”

In The News: “Opportunist Jon Ossoff Has A Sketchy History Of Cozying Up To Communist China”

Opportunist Jon Ossoff Has A Sketchy History Of Cozying Up To Communist China
Jordan Davidson
The Federalist
December 31, 2020

As the Georgia Senate runoff election fast approaches, questions continue about Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff’s views on and connections to communist China.

aIn 2012, Ossoff used his Twitter to promote the CCP-controlled media, Xinhua News Agency, which has repeatedly denied human rights violations against the Uyghur people and spoken out against the Hong Kong democracy protests. In his tweet, Ossoff suggested people follow the propaganda outlet for information about China’s political affairs.

…

Ossoff’s tweet came just a few months after he left his position as a “national security aide” with top-secret clearance under Georgia Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson, a clearance level that he has repeatedly falsely claimed in campaign ads that he maintained for five years instead of five months.

Less than a year after his first pro-Chinese propaganda tweet, Ossoff shared a post detailing the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s dietary and financial cutbacks.

“‘China’s current spirit of antiextravagance’ RT @XHNews: Military emphasizes frugality with new food rules,” he wrote.

…

In addition to his blatant amplification of communist China’s agenda through his Twitter account, Ossoff has also come under fire for failing to disclose payments he received from the PCCW Media company and its chairman, Richard Li, who strongly opposes Hong Kong’s quest for independence, for a documentary produced by Ossoff’s company. Ossoff originally claimed it was a “paperwork error” and eventually amended his financial disclosure to include the payment. Shortly after, however, Ossoff claimed that the payment, which was reportedly about $950, wasn’t required to be disclosed because it wasn’t over the $5,000 threshold.

…

Ossoff’s shady China connections have been likened to those of California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, who became politically and potentially personally involved with Chinese spy Christine Fang, who cultivated deep connections with U.S. Democratic politicians in the Bay Area for years to send political intelligence and personal information back to China’s Ministry of State Security, one of the country’s primary spying agencies.

Others have called for further transparency from Ossoff about his Chinese connections, some of which were amplified by his opponent, Republican Sen. David Perdue. Instead of condemning the CCP or its actions, Ossoff has turned the tables on Perdue, claiming that he is trying to “lie himself out of a losing campaign, especially when he is the one with deep ties to China.”

Ossoff Lashes Out At Fox News’ Peter Doocy For Pressing Him On His Business Ties To The CCP

December 31, 2020  |

Ossoff Lashes Out At Fox News’ Peter Doocy For Pressing Him On His Business Ties To The CCP

“C’mon man!”

Jon Ossoff doesn’t want to talk about his financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party – and he doesn’t want the media talk about it either. Ossoff has largely been able to avoid scrutiny from the mainstream media when it comes to his ever-growing China scandal, leaving most of the damage control to spokespeople or sidestepping questions altogether. Today, however, he was finally pressed about his shady connections to the Chinese Communist Party – and the trust fund socialist wasn’t happy about it. Unable to provide a substantive explanation for his ever-changing story regarding his business dealings with the CCP-linked PCCW, Ossoff lashed out at Fox News’ Peter Doocy in a similar manner to how Joe Biden handles questions about his son’s own China problems.

This follows Ossoff’s repeated refusal to disclose the full details of his financial relationship to the Chinese government in the wake of a Washington Post investigationand recently unearthed social media posts that showed he promoted state-run Chinese propaganda. Ossoff’s China problem is now a “key issue” in the race that public pollingshows is heavily influencing Georgians.

Click here or below to watch Ossoff’s exchange with Doocy.

“Instead of giving Georgians the answers they deserve, Jon Ossoff decided to be flippant and dismissive about concerns that the Chinese Communist Party may be targeting him,” said Perdue for Senate Communications Director John Burke. “Ossoff refuses to take the threat of China seriously even after Congressman Eric Swalwell, one of his supporters, was preyed on by a suspected Chinese operative. With his history of promoting Chinese propaganda and taking payments from their government through a media company, Georgians should be concerned about his dismissiveness of the threat they pose to our nation.”

VIDEO: Perdue Campaign Highlights San Francisco Liberal Nancy Pelosi’s Support For Jon Ossoff

VIDEO: Perdue Campaign Highlights San Francisco Liberal Nancy Pelosi’s Support For Jon Ossoff

The Perdue campaign released a new video today highlighting recent comments by San Francisco liberal Nancy Pelosi in support of Jon Ossoff. Echoing Chuck Schumer and AOC, Pelosi affirmed that voting for Ossoff would give Democrats absolute control of Congress to pass their radical socialist agenda. The only way to stop that from happening is for every Georgian to go out and vote on January 5 for Senator David Perdue and Senator Kelly Loeffler.

Perdue Hits 100th Stop of the Win Georgia, Save America Tour

Jon Ossoff – he’s probably still somewhere in Atlanta. 

ATLANTA, GA — Senator David Perdue hit his one-hundredth stop of the Win Georgia, Save America tour today with his visit to Hiawassee, where he greeted voters and encouraged them to get out and vote before January 5.

While Senator Perdue has criss-crossed the state, traveling from Hahira to Hiawassee to meet with Georgians, Jon Ossoff has stayed almost exclusively in the Atlanta metro area, sheltering himself from campaigning in unfriendly territories. The Perdue tour will complete 125 total stops by the end of the runoff election.
