  • Georgia Senator John Ossoff has been going viral recently with these pithy anti-Trump speeches.

  • You're seeing what I'm seeing, right?

  • The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman at 1 a.m.?

  • A lot of people seem to love him, the people in the crowd, the people who watch after.

  • He's trying to put his face on the money.

  • Did you see that?

  • And therefore, a certain type of political watcher, me,

  • always wants to know what Senator Ossoff is going to seize on next.

  • Most recently, just a few days ago, it was this.

  • There's this beautiful little island off the Albanian coast called Cezanne.

  • And?

  • And Jared Kushner.

  • Wants it.

  • He went to Jared.

  • Yes, Jared and Ivanka have set their sights on some stretches of heretofore unspoiled land in Albania.

  • They want to build luxury resorts upon that land and Albanians are in the streets saying loudly, yo, that's no.
