Conway Congratulates Handel, Jabs Democrats

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway congratulated Republican Karen Handel for winning the special House race in Georgia's 6th Congressional District and chided Democrats for losing.

Conway's comments came in a tweet, where she alluded to the fact Handel's Democratic opponent, Jon Ossoff, lived outside the district.

.@karenhandel thanks for standing strong, for running on issues, for being a grownup and for living in the district.

Welcome to Congress. https://t.co/NOcZIHOKwW

Handel defeated Ossoff on Tuesday. The seat opened after Trump appointed Tom Price to lead the Health and Human Services Department.

President Donald Trump's son, Donald Jr., also could not help but take a playful jab at the Democrats for their loss in Georgia.

Dems now 0-4 in all their "referendum" special elections, but hey there's a bright side.. they tell me they're 4-4 in moral victories. #maga
