The Best Jewish Jokes About Jon Ossoff’s Election

At just 33, Ossoff is projected to become Georgia's first Jewish senator. Twitter has a lot of jokes about this, naturally.

Jon Ossoff, hot Jewish millennial, is projected to be Georgia’s first Jewish senator.

Ossoff, 33, was born and raised in a Jewish family in Atlanta, interned for U.S. Representative John Lewis, and then became a documentary film producer. He is projected to be the winner in Georgia’s runoff election on January, 5 against incumbent Sen. Perdue, who ran a nasty campaign that included a Facebook ad that digitally altered Ossoff’s nose to appear larger.

With the historic wins of both Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, who will be the first Black man to represent Georgia in the Senate, the Democrats will regain control of the Senate.

Jewish Twitter had some feelings, naturally, and some very Jewish jokes about Jon Ossoff. Enjoy.
