WASHINGTON—Calling off the event that some had labeled “controversial,” President Donald Trump announced Friday that he was canceling the planned livestream execution of Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA). “I still believe it would have been a strong deterrent for the world to witness how America deals with Democrats,” said Trump, who stated that the incumbent U.S. senator was a “traitor,” a “bad man,” and a “very, very evil guy” for the “heinous act” of winning more than 2.2 million votes in Georgia. “Make no mistake, it’s still happening as planned. Just no livestream. I commend Pete [Hegseth] for wanting to discourage others from opposing me.” Trump went on to say he didn’t realize Ossoff wasn’t paralyzed.
