'Why is he doing that?' This footage of Jon Ossoff is as cringeworthy as it gets

Ah, *that's* what he was doing instead of developing coherent policies.

Didn’t think Democrat Jon Ossoff’s defeat in the GA-06 race could get any more embarrassing? Well, we’ve got some news for you: You were wrong. You were so, so wrong:

In his concession speech, Ossoff appears to be trying to copy Obama's cadence and intonation exactly. Surreal. https://t.co/GA485aHQky

Dammit, I'm trapped here, Luke. I can neither stomach more than a few moments of this, nor defeat my need to hear it.

Good God, it's like Seth Myers doing Obama.

This is highly problematic.

Ha!

But maybe we’re being a little too hard on Ossoff. For all his shortcomings, at least he was willing to go out on a limb and try something new:

actually just straight-up imitating Obama is the most coherent electoral strategy that I've seen from Democrats in a long time
