Twitter users following Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R) debate against her Democratic opponent were so awed at her relentless repetition of the attack phrase “radical liberal” that they were inspired to talk up a drinking game, requiring a shot every time she uttered the words.
One person quipped that anyone who actually stuck to the game rules would be “dead now.”
Loeffler repeated the phrase a lot. People on Twitter counted anywhere from 13 to 24, to “like 50” or “a million” repetitions.
The phrase seemed a bit harsh for Democrat Raphael Warnock. As someone sarcastically quipped: “Nothing says ‘radical liberal’ like a reverend from Georgia.”
So clearly @KLoeffler went in with a single strategy: just keep repeating “radical liberal Raphael Warnock” over and over and over like a robot. She didn’t, however, answer why she traded stocks on her inside Senatorial knowledge about the pandemic. #GADebate

“Radical Liberal” or “radic-lib” was a favorite ad hominem epithet of Spiro Agnew.

Senator Loeffler intoned 13 times.
Said once or twice, it’s about your opponent;
after an hour, it’s about your canned lines.

Jesus Christ was a radical liberal.

Kelly Loeffler was on repeat calling @ReverendWarnock a radical liberal. She didn’t know what else to say. But what’s more radical? Believing you deserve healthcare during a pandemic or buying a private jet on Georgians dime? pic.twitter.com/SROoHMnaq0

My Wife, who is NOT watching the debate, just asked me if I'm rewinding the TV, because she keeps hearing Kelly Loeffler say the EXACT SAME THING over and over, starting with "Radical Liberal..."
— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) December 7, 2020
I am NOT rewinding.
Ready to move forward with Reverend Warnock.
