GA-12 Congressional debate between Rep. John Barrow and Rick Allen

I think John Barrow should be asked the question, why he insisted the debate be held in the Islamic Center?” Allen asked.

“I did not insist the debate be held in any location. I accepted an invitation that had been extended honorably,” Barrow replied.

The debate was hosted by the Islamic Society of Augusta, but it was originally supposed to be held at the Islamic Community Center.

“He accepted the time and he accepted the place. Then it was offered to us, and we accepted it,” Barrow said.

“The idea behind this is we want to make everyone feel welcome at every facility,” Allen said.

And although they ultimately agreed on a facility, they didn’t agree on much else.

“How is he going to balance the budget and pay for health care? It will not happen John,” Allen said.

“Peach care and Christ Community Health, these are examples of the kinds of things we lose of Mr. Allen does what he says he’s going to do,” Barrow replied.
