Somebody is advising Jon Ossoff very well when it comes to advertising. Starting today the campaign has a new ad up, and Karen handel isn’t going to like it very much. Tough noogies for her. Jon’s campaign is hitting Handel in what could really be a sore spot for her in the current environment, her disastrous decision to end funding for Planned Parenthood when she was the senior VP of public policy for the Susan B Koman foundation. Disastrous for Susan G Koman that is.
A new REPORT on RollCall.com highlights the hardest hitting portion of the ad. It features a Mindy Fine, who identifies herself as an OB-GYN in Cobb County, and she doesn’t mince words;
“Karen Handel cut off funding for Planned Parenthood cancer screenings when she was an executive at Susan G. Komen,” Fine says, wearing scrubs and standing in what looks like a doctor’s office.
“I don't usually get involved in politics, but as a doctor and breast cancer survivor myself, what Karen Handel did is unforgivable,” Fine says.
This should be a very effective line of attack for Ossoff. Not only can’t Karen Handel deny this episode and issue, and not only did it receive nationwide media coverage at the time, but Handel herself was arrogant enough to write a 2014 book called “Planned Bullyhood” to paint herself as the tragic hero. And his senior communications adviser is decisive about why this was put out;
"It’s time to say to the women of Georgia's Sixth that Karen Handel has a pattern of imposing her own personal views on others, which could have resulted in thousands of Georgia women losing access to lifesaving breast cancer screenings,"
