Griff here with whats at stake.
One of the contenders, Georgia,
GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler Good
Morning to you, youre in the
final stretch, youve got a
big visit coming from the
president, who will be down
in Dalton on Monday. What is the
closing argument youre
making to Georgia voters
well Griff good morning.
Our closing statement is to get
out and vote.
The future of the country is on
the ballot here in Georgia,
were the battleground were
the firewall for stopping
socialism, and you heard heck in
that clip say he wants to change
America.
His radical agents of change are
our opponents, Raphael, Warnock
and Jon Ossoff. They be a rubber
stamp for Chuck Schumers SAM Re,
shaping this country into
something. Unrecognizable
well hold the line in Georgia,
but I need all Georgians to get
out and vote thats. Why
were Chris crossing the state
non stop?
I was in South Georgia this
weekend heading up to North
Georgia right after this and im
looking forward to making sure
that Georgians understand
exactly whats at stake here,
because thats, what were
fighting for and were going to
keep up that work until next
Tuesday a week from today, but
polls are open now until
Thursday,
regular business hours, we need
Georgians to get out and vote
make sure their friends and
family have a plan to vote. Make
your voice heard thats what the
presidents coming down to
Georgia to do
Rachel Senator before I ask
you your question. I want
everyone to know that we did
invite your opponent Raphael
Warnock to the program.
We did not get a response.
I want to ask you about him,
because there have been recent
revelations from his wife that
he was involved in a domestic
violence indent.
What is your perception of how
that is being received,
particularly by women in Georgia?
Well, Rachel its incredibly
troubling and Georgians deserve
answers to this, and obviously
my heart goes out to her.
This is a very serious issue,
and these are the questions that
the media here in Georgia
theyre refusing to ask Raphael
Warnock his history here with
these abuse claims and also
weve recently learned. As I
asked him in our debate, he
obstructed an investigation into
child abuse at a camp that he
ran at his church.
He refused to answer those
questions, and now the
victim has come out and hes
talking about it.
My heart goes out to him.
This is a very serious issue.
Why isnt the media covering it?
But, most importantly, why is
Raphael Warnock not answering
these questions about his role
in this abuse and why he
obstructed this investigation?
We have to get to the bottom of
it.
This is disgusting.
Its disqualifying and Georgians
deserve answers.
Will Senator Loeffler Iphone
the previous couple of weeks,
both you and your republican
colleague, David Perdue, have been
proud of the coronavirus relief
bill that was passed.
President Trump wanted more
though, and he wanted more than
six hundred dollars checks going to Americans
and increase that amount to
two thousand dollars.
Thats been passed now in the
house
its going to go to the
Republican controlled Senate. So
will you support that bill that
encouragement from the president
once it gets to the Senate?
Well, will look
the president has fought for our
country from day one.
He continues to fight for every
single American
ive stood by the President, one hundred percent
of the time
im proud to do that and ive
said absolutely. We need to get
relief to Americans now and
I will support that. But look
here is the issue.
Democrats have blocked relief,
time and again
thats. Why were in this
situation? As a country
weve tried to pass that relief
since this summer, Nancy Pelosi
Bernie Sanders theyve admitted
that they held it up because
they were playing politics with
the lives of Georgians and all
Americans around this election,
and we have to hold Democrats
accountable on January five, because
thats whats on the ballot
whose going to fight for the
american people
thats what David Perdue and I
have been doing since day one
and were going to continue to
do that
Griff. So senator it sounds like
youll vote to support the
presidents, push for the
two thousand dollars checks, but will
you vote to override his veto,
which will come up through the
Senate soon on the defense
authorization bill?
Well, look Griff!
I have been proud to support our
men and women in the military.
President Trump has been a huge
champion for our military and
rebuilding it and securing our
national defense and were
going to continue to make sure
that we support our men and
women in the military. But look
my opponent, radical liberal
Raphael. Warnock has said that
you cant serve God and serve in
the military
thats wrong.
Thats an attack on our
military and he be the first in
line to stand with Chuck, Schumer
and cut funding to our military.
Georgia is an incredibly
important military state in this
country and ill always
stand with our men and women in
the military, and I thank
President Trump for fighting for
them.
Will Senator Loeffler id love
to focus. Your state has been the
focus of everyones
attention for quite some time
now, and you have some pros and
cons. It looks like going into
your election
on the con side. There are many
that have questions about the
election integrity in
Georgia.
There are many who are
suggesting. Georgia is the center
of all of our election
controversy.
On the pro side. Everyone knows
whats on the line whats at
stake when it comes to your
races,
I believe the numbers now north
of one point, three million or so votes that
have already come in in Georgia.
Is that a pro or a con
theres so much early voting?
Does that favor you and David
Perdue, the Republicans, or does
that favor? The Democrats
will over two million, have
now voted, and that is a pro.
We need Georgians to turn out
and vote for David Perdue and
Kelly Loeffler, like President
Trump said, because the future
of the country is on the ballot
and early voting is open here
until Thursday.
We need Georgians to get out and
vote because we have to make
sure that were the firewall to
stopping the radical agenda of
Chuck Schumer.
He wants to fundamentally change
this country
thats. Why im Chris crossing
the state
thats? Why Davids out every
single day and were going to
get this job done, but we need
Georgians to turn out and vote
and weve invested in a
significant operation here to
make sure that the vote is fair.
Weve got four thousand poll, watchers
were in the courts. Right now
were going to make sure its
fair, but we need Georgians to
do their part and vote and
preferably vote early
in person. Voting you know is
efficient and quick and safe and
secure and were going to make
sure that happens
Rachel well. That election is in
less than a week a lot riding
on that. We wish you luck and.
