Donald Trump says Sen. Jon Ossoff reminds him of "Pinky Herman" at Georgia rally

At a Georgia rally on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, recalling a past electoral victory over him. Trump then likened Ossoff to a figure he called “Pinky Herman,” drawing laughter from the crowd. The apparent mix-up—widely noted as a reference to the late comedian Paul Reubens’ character Pee-wee Herman—was later corrected by Trump himself when he referred to Ossoff as “Pee-wee Herman.” Trump had previously posted a comparison of Ossoff to the fictional character on social media. The remarks came shortly after Ossoff questioned Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth about the ongoing conflict in Iran. The incident has fueled discussion about the 80-year-old candidate’s verbal missteps.
