Democrat U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff used a church pulpit to impugn his Republican opponent, attacking his character with a classless attack on Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The Georgia Democrat, who is running for reelection, used Sunday\u2019s service at Beulah Missionary Baptist Church to denounce Republican nominee Mike Collins as a segregationist and racist.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the hatred that Mike Collins promotes is a relic of the bad old days,\u201d Ossoff, who is Jewish, told churchgoers. \u201cGeorgia\u2019s spirit of tolerance will overwhelm and defeat bigotry, and our defense of voting rights will be so fierce that no plot against the franchise will foil the will of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

WATCH: Jon Ossoff went to a church today and smeared Mike Collins as a segregationist.<\/p>\n

Calling your opponent a racist is what a lying Democrat does when he\u2019s desperate.<\/p>\n

Doing it at a Sunday service on Father\u2019s Day makes it even more disgraceful. pic.twitter.com\/H32ldRDVbA<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe election deniers, they tell a lie so absurd and therefore so debasing to tell, that the act of telling it proves the teller\u2019s total and humiliating submission,\u201d Ossoff said, going on to attack Collins for defending those involved in the January 6 events at the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n

The Democrat claimed his opponent is one \u201cwho supports war and cutting your health care and openly associates himself with bigotry and antisemitism,\u201d adding that Collins \u201cdefends the violent mob that sacked the Capitol on the morning of January 6th, 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo this day, this man makes excuses for those who carried out an attack to throw out your votes and install a defeated president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

And you may have seen that one of those election deniers now asks to represent Georgia in the Senate.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/ges2T1tBK2<\/a><\/p>\n

According to CBS News, the one-term senator \u201cdelivered a speech that was as much about character as it was about politics, using the setting to challenge voters to scrutinize the actions of public officials while using words of the Bible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speech reflected a long-running tradition in Black churches across Georgia and the South, where faith and civic engagement have often intersected,\u201d the outlet added.<\/p>\n

Many social media users disagreed, ripping into Ossoff and the church for allowing the speech.<\/p>\n

\n

Repulsive! Ossoff and the Dems can\u2019t even let people be happy on Fathers Day or at peace in church!<\/p>\n

We need to vote him out!!!<\/p>\n

As usual, they forget what \u201cworship service\u201d is supposed to be\u2014\u201cWorship of God,\u201d not talking ugly about fellow human beings, also made in God\u2019s image. https:\/\/t.co\/3IxWFRdSt0<\/a><\/p>\n

Politics in a church??? Isn\u2019t this illegal?<\/p>\n

Hmm, Democrats no longer believe in separation of church and state. Good to know.<\/p>\n
