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.”’
