Sen. David Perdue: Winning Georgia Senate Seats Is ‘The Last Line Of Defense Against This Liberal Socialist Agenda’

Republican Georgia Sen. David Perdue said Sunday that the GOP must win runoff Senate elections in his state because it’s “the last line of defense” against Democrats’ radical plans.

“These two seats …. are the last line of defense against this liberal socialist agenda that the Democrats will perpetrate,” Perdue told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Both Perdue and his Republican colleague Sen. Kelly Loeffler are locked in a runoff election with Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively. (RELATED: Stacey Abrams Predicts Ossoff, Warnock ‘Absolutely’ Can Win Georgia Runoffs)

“We heard [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer say just last week if we take Georgia we change America,” Perdue continued. “We heard [Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] say they have to have these two seats because they don’t want to negotiate. They want total control …. Schumer will change the rules in the Senate so they can do anything they want with 50 votes plus the vice president’s vote as a tie breaker.”

Perdue predicted a Democratic-controlled Senate would pack the Supreme Court, add additional states to the union, and terminate the Electoral College as the means of deciding presidential elections. He said the Democratic leadership wants “to perpetrate this agenda that they’ve been espousing now through the presidential primary all year.”

Perdue outlined that agenda as including the Green New Deal, defunding the police, open borders, sanctuary cities and cutting military spending “after we’ve just begun rebuilding it after Obama’s decimation of it.”

President-elect Joe Biden has said he does not support defunding the police.

The senator held up the possibility of Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren being the next Treasury secretary and Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders taking over as the chairman of the budget committee: “these are people who really do not believe in our free market system.”

“Their agenda could never be done with a bipartisan Congress and so what we can do in the Senate is this: we can actually protect the gains and the accomplishments of the last four years … President Trump gave us … the best economic turnaround in U.S. history,” Perdue said.

Perdue claimed Democrats want to include a host of legislative initiates within the Green New Deal and have “hidden inside this the Medicare for All cost … the $30,000 a year stipend for people who are unable or unwilling to work, free college education — all of these things have nothing to do with climate change.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
