Those two, birds of a feather. I tell ya.

A spokesperson for Karen Handel’s campaign told CNN that Steve Handel’s reposting of the message with his own commentary was a “mistake,” and that Steve Handel had “retweeted something he didn’t pay a lot of attention to, thinking it was just an absentee vote message…

Well, this excuse is right up there with “the dog was just hitting buttons on husband’s phone, and he retweeted something.” Give us a break. He retweeted something “he did not pay a lot of attention to?” OK. We get he is an idiot and racist, but now Handel’s a liar too.

Normally, I would say this should seal an easy win for Ossoff, but after Trump the new rule is never underestimate the stupidity of voters, especially when from a red state.

If only there was a National Committee of Democrats group that could optimally weaponize this stupidity to help Mr. Ossoff in the upcoming election.

Maybe we can start a GoFundMe to get something set up?

We could call it the DNC!

"…that Steve Handel had “retweeted something he didn’t pay a lot of attention to, thinking it was just an absentee vote message. It clearly was not appropriate and has been deleted.”

There’s a difference between genius and stupidity. Genius has a limit.

I’m reminded of this on a daily basis.

Susan B. Komen foundation has still not recovered from the damage this woman did to the Race for the Cure. What makes anyone think she would be an asset to any district?

Clearly Southern Conservative Repugs like the Handels are just as racist and despicable as always.

Normally, I would say there was a better chance of finding an unopened tub of Cool Whip in Chris Christie’s fridge than seeing Handel win but this IS the South.

Yikes, every comment counts and this amateur just showed his hand. Thankfully for him not a huge minority presence.

He probably just wishes that his wife’s dildo was pink.

Why this lady’s married to a regular Harriet Tubman!

That used to be illegal in Georgia on a couple of counts.

That’s the problem with the Bubble. Living in it deadens your understanding of dog whistles.
In this case, plantation is the dog whistle for childish colored people who keep voting democratic.
