GOP super PAC spurs Ossoff demand to take down Kathy Griffin ad

Jon Ossoff is facing questions about his ties to comedian Kathy Griffin in a new television ad being run by the Republican super PAC aligned with House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

Congressional Leadership Fund put the new spot on television in Atlanta on Thursday, a day after Griffin posted an offensive photograph on Twitter of herself holding a model of the severed bloody head of President Trump. Ossoff, the Democratic nominee in the competitive special election to fill a vacant Georgia House seat, immediately demanded that his Republican opponent, Karen Handel, urge CLF to take down the ad.
