Oct 31, 2023•55 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
In the episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Greg Bluestein, Tia Mitchell, Patricia Murphy and Bill Nigut talk with Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff about the findings of his bipartisan hearings investigating Georgia’s troubled foster care system. Among the findings: over a four-year period almost 1800 children went missing from the system. Ossoff acknowledges that fixing the issues facing the Division of Family and Children Services is a challenge that will take time to solve.
The senator also discusses his commitment to sending additional resources to Israel in the war against Hamas.
Plus, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been on the campaign trail, rallying support for Donald Trump in New Hampshire. In Washington, she’s in a war of words with Palestinian-American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. Her why Greene wants Tlaib censured.
And hear about the Alabama supporter of Donald Trump who faces federal charges for violent and obscene threats against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Sheriff Pat Labat.
