King comes for Ossoff, but is way off on Afghanistan

Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King (R) is already looking to distinguish himself in the GOP Senate primary field by taking aim at Democratic Georgia Senators John Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. The issue: communication with he and his staff in the run-up to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.The problem? He left out some key details - like his own office's praise for the communication between his staff and the two Senators' and their staffs. Yeah, The Ossoff and Warnock team came with receipts. King, running to unseat Ossoff in 2025, served in the National Guard and rightly had concerns for on-the-ground Afghanistani assets' safety then. He seems to have no such issue with the Trump administration turning its back on the Afghan relocation program now, though. Then there's the accurate timeline of the Trump-led negotiations that put the U.S. military in such a precarious situation to begin with. No qualms from King about any of that. Instead, he's concocting a (proven false) narrative that his state's two U.S. Senators were slow to act on his behalf. ------Meanwhile, in the early days of Pride Month, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, at his President's request, is ordering the U.S. Navy to rename a ship honoring slain gay rights activist (and former Naval officer) Harvey Milk by the end of the month. The kicker? A Pentagon spokesperson admits the timing isn't coincidental.
