Sen. Ossoff Honors Georgia’s Veterans

“I express my deep respect and gratitude for every veteran in the State of Georgia and across the country as we honor your work, your commitment to service, and the sacrifices that you and your family have made in defense of our Nation.

“This is a day for us to reflect on our shared debt to those who have worn the uniform and served our Nation and to their families, their spouses, and their children and dependents, who — along with servicemembers — make such extraordinary sacrifices to defend the United States.

“And in these days of extraordinary division, let our commitment to our Republic and our Constitution and our national security unite us and focus us on our shared interests. We are Americans first, and I thank every veteran on this Veterans Day for your service.”

HEGSETH: Iran's ability to challenge the US--

OSSOFF: That's not what I asked. Yes or no?

HEGSETH: What the milit---

OSSOFF: Will you answer the question?

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

OSSOFF: On day 9 of the war, on 60 Minutes you assured the American people of Iranian surrender. Does that remain your prediction?

HEGSETH: Ultimately Iran will never have a nuclear weapon
