The Democrats’ spectacular defeat in Georgia’s special election have cause a variety of reactions on the Right and the Left. Here are some of the BEST responses yet…
On Tuesday, voters in Georgia’s Sixth District rejected Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff and elected Karen Handel to be their next representative in Congress.
The race was watched far and wide, and was the most expensive Congressional campaign in history, as Democrats throughout tried to portray the election as a referendum on President Donald Trump.
As a result, an astonishing amount of money poured into Georgia from California and elsewhere—all to no avail.
Here are some of the best responses to Tuesday’s election from around the web:
CNN, one of the many anti-Trump networks wants to know when Democrats will ever win again.
So I gather GA06 has suddenly gone from Enlightened Sunbelt Suburban Panera Voters back to Inbred Reactionary Neo-Confederate Klansmen

Listen up, GOP, Handel's #GA06 win against Ossoff is NOT a mandate to keep being liberal IDIOTS
