Representative Mike Collins (R-GA) is calling on Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) to return his “Epstein Cash,” donations collected from people associated with the human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Is Sen. Jon Ossoff connected to the “Epstein Class?” This callout from Rep. Collins comes as a response to Sen. Ossoff’s positioning as the anti-Epstein Class candidate.
Put simply, Sen. Ossoff is attempting to cash in on the frustration many people feel about wealthy individuals and their ability to get away with heinous crimes.
Some criticism, however, argue that he directly benefits from the Epstein Class and "Epstein Cash." A major example is a donor by the name of Reid Hoffman, who regularly visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island.
Hoffman maxed out his individual contributions to Sen. Ossoff’s campaign and is now bankrolling a political action committee supporting the Senator’s reelection efforts.
What Rep. Mike Collins had to say:
- Via Fox News Digital: “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.”
- Continued: “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.”
- Via his Official X: “Jon Ossoff is a hypocrite who rails against the “Epstein Class” on stage while being bankrolled by Epstein’s billionaire friends. Jon needs to refund the donations from his and Jeffrey Epstein’s friend immediately and tell Georgians the truth about who is funding his campaign.”
Further Context: Georgia’s U.S. Senate race is still highly competitive, with recent polls suggesting that Rep. Collins may be gaining ground. In a Trafalgar poll from early September, Sen. Ossoff received 49.4% of the support, and Rep. Collins received 42.8%.
