Well lookie here, John Ossof is ALREADY showing he can’t take the heat of running for election! Tonight they kicked out the Free Beacon’s reporter because he’s conservative, I guess?

Asked @Ossoff comm team whether I was only person barred from event. He ignored first few times, then said "I don't know"

There is currently a "This is what democracy looks like" chant going on during an event that I am barred from

Was it over this story?
The @FreeBeacon has officially made it from @ossoff apartment into Georgia's 6th district. What a journey! pic.twitter.com/Z6oH1WXUKh

Good for Sam Stein for standing up to this:
this is crap and outlets who aren’t on the blacklist should express their objections. https://t.co/2NEvI9GDJa

Of course scummy Howard Dean wasn’t as magnanimous:
So then he got burned:
Ouch, Howie. Should I accuse @ossoff of being on Cocaine, or is that too much? https://t.co/6qzqP6H0OY

NOW TO BE FAIR, if you’ll remember, Trump kicked out a bunch of news outlets during his campaign. So it would be hypocritical of Trump fans to be too outraged about this, not that being hypocritical ever stops them. BUT, it’s just not a good look for Ossoff to be shutting down journalists on the eve of the election… that only works in Montana dammit.
