Sen. Jon Ossoff speaks on unpopular Iran War, ICE backlash, midterm outlook, Trump administration’s 'contempt' for CDC

Georgia's U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is critical of how the Trump Administration is handling the Iran War, immigration, and what he says is a lack of value in the CDC. He believes their actions will be answered with a big Democratic turnout in the November midterm elections.

Atlanta native and United States Sen. Jon Ossoff sees the direct impact of the Trump administration on his home state of Georgia, and he says we’re living in serious times. In an interview on “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” the Democratic lawmaker addressed those issues as he’s also seeking to maintain another term in office.

Ossoff spoke to host Rose Scott after the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran surpassed its 50-day mark. The war has cost numerous lives, including as many as 15 U.S. Troops. It has also been linked to fuel prices escalating 30% since the war began. President Donald Trump named the military action Operation Epic Fury.

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,” Trump said on the evening of Feb. 28 when the major combat operation began.
