President Donald Trump kicked off his rally in Dalton, Ga., on Friday by discussing the appearance of several male candidates, including the “tall and strong” Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), who is running for Senate against the incumbent senator. John Ossoff (D-GA).
As expected, Trump wasn’t too enamored of Ossoff’s physique, which he mocked in Trumpian name-calling style.
“In eighteen days, the people of Georgia will defeat your weak, arrogant, radical left-wing senator, who is actually… I call him Pee Wee Herman! » Trump said.
“Someone said he was a handsome man. I don’t think he’s a handsome man,” Trump said with authority. “I actually think Mike Collins is a handsome man, and he’s every man. Every man. I’m not sure about Ossoff.”
“I think Rick Jackson is a handsome, distinguished man,” Trump added of the Republican gubernatorial nominee, before returning to Collins:
We’re going to beat, we’re going to beat – you’re going to have one of the, you’re going to have, in Mike Collins, you’re going to have one of the best senators – either way, he’s one of the most respected people in Washington. There is no one more respected than Mike. The work he did as a congressman. Members of Congress will tell you, they are all there. One of the most respected guys. And he’s Central Casting. Get up! Look at this. If I select a film for a senator, if I select a film for a senator, I like white hair, I like a tall, strong build. A big, strong guy. But that’s what I want. But he is a respected man.
Jackson still holds a narrow 49-47% lead over Stockings Keisha Lance (D) in an InsiderAdvantage poll, despite not showing up at the last gubernatorial debate.
Ossoff leads Collins by 8 to 10 percentage points, according to recent polls.
