Georgia broke another voting record Monday, as more than 239,000 early voters came out to the polls in a single day to cast their ballots 2022 senate runoff election between incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and GOP challenger Herschel Walker.

Interim Deputy Secretary of State Gabriel Sterling announced that more than 239,160 Georgians voted on Monday, smashing the previous early voting record of more than 233,252 votes in 2018, according to CBS News.

Georgia voters have been particularly animated in this election, despite Democratic warnings that a 2021 voter integrity law signed by incumbent Governor Brian Kemp would disenfranchise millions of voters. Democrats warned the legislation would usher in a new era of “Jim Crow 2.0.” President Joe Biden said it would make that previous era of American history look like “Jim Eagle.”

However, despite those predictions more than two million people voted via early voting and absentee ballots, smashing previous records in the process for the general election.

When asked about that fact and Biden’s previous comments prior to the general election, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre implied that the state’s voting law hampered the ability to vote.

“As you know, I have to be careful. I cannot get into politics from here,” Jean-Pierre said, “The president has been very clear that based on the ‘Big Lie’ there have been a host of anti-voter policies forced on states that challenge America’s fundamental right to vote, the access to voting. So this is against our most basic values, including respect for the law and the constitution.”

Jean-Pierre also claimed that record turnout doesn’t disprove voter suppression.

“Speaking generally of course, but more broadly, high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time,” she added. “One doesn’t have to happen on its own. They can be happening at the same time, but I will leave it there without being able to really dig into the politics of this.”

Warnock, the  53-year-old reverend from Atlanta, Georgia, was first elected to the Senate on January 5, 2021, after defeating GOP candidate Kelly Loeffler in a run-off election. Loeffler had been appointed to serve until an election, having replaced the late Johnny Isakson.

As a newcomer into politics, Walker spent much of his campaign tying Warnock to unpopular President Joe Biden and painted the Democrat as a divisive, out-of-touch progressive.

“Senator Warnock believes America is a bad country full of racist people,” Walker said in one ad. “I believe we’re a great country full of generous people. Warnock wants to divide us. I want to bring us together.”

After neither candidate secured more than 50% of the vote on November 8, the race officially moved to a runoff election.

Democrats currently have a 50-49 seat advantage. Polls show that Warnock and Walker are in a virtual dead heat.

Daily Wire Investigative Reporter Luke Rosiak appeared on ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ Monday evening to share a story he broke for the Daily Wire about bizarre hiring practices at JetBlue.

The show began by assessing the widespread mass protests across China against the regime of Xi Jinping and his repressive ‘Zero COVID’ policies, which appear to be the largest internal outcry against the Chinese Communist Party in decades. The program also condemned several U.S. public officials and various corporate entities and prominent citizens, such as John Kirby of the National Security Council, the NBA and reporter Taylor Lorenz.

Carlson claimed that greed or complicity had caused them to stay silent on China’s crackdown against its own citizens, noting that some of them had advocated for the kind of COVID policy that Xi had put into practice and a few had even praised the authoritarian regime for its approach to the pandemic.

Carlson later brought on Rosiak to discuss the case of John Perrys, a convicted felon and reported employee of JetBlue who in 2005 broke into a judge’s home and assaulted his daughter as she came out of the shower. Perrys was released in 2014 and according to the Florida Department of Corrections, he will be on felony probation until 2044.

Perrys’ hiring has caused controversy because his employer is unwilling to hire pilots who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 in the name of ‘safety.’

“Apparently JetBlue won’t hire unvaccinated pilots, but they will hire violent convicted felons to fly their airplanes,” one pilot said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Roughly a year ago JetBlue implemented a company-wide vaccine mandate, arguing in public that as a federal contractor they were required to do so by a Biden Administration rule. The relevant rule, however, has been delayed, then blocked by an injunction which was only lifted last month, and even now is not actively being enforced.

Rosiak and Carlson both lambasted the mandate and characterized it as incoherent and counter productive, since new data indicates that a majority of people currently dying from COVID-19 are vaccinated.

“They won’t hire you if you haven’t had the vaxx, but they did hire John Perrys,” Rosiak noted, “And interestingly enough, I thought you would get a kick out of this, the crime he was convicted of was assault with a deadly weapon while wearing a mask.”
