Congressman Pete Olson, [R-TX] criticised the Chairman of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party Bidzina Ivanishvili over Frontera Resources.

Pete Olson in his remarks made in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday compared Ivanishvili to Oscar the Grouch and said “they’re both puppets who’ve trashed their homes.”

“What do Oscar the Grouch and oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili have in common? They’re both puppets who’ve trashed their homes. Today I spoke on the House floor in support of the Georgian people demanding an end to corruption and Russian influence in their country,” Pete Olson stated.

Congressman said “Vladimer Putin’s puppet has attacked foreign investment in Georgia and crushed basic human rights.”

“Coming from Texas, Frontera Resources, has been drilling in Georgia for years and years and years. They’ve created great jobs in America, great jobs in Georgia. They’ve created freedom…. Now they are drilling zero wealth in Georgia.

Of course, Vladimir Putin is happy to control Georgia’s oil. This puppet oligarch Ivanishvili is getting rich off the backs of the Georgian people.

It’s time to wake up … Protesters in Georgia need our support. Join me in raising our voices for freedom in Georgia,” Olson concluded.
