STACY ABRAMS TELLS IT LIKE IT IS IN GEORGIA

 

… Abrams was correct when she addressed her audience at a recent fund raising dinner

 

Once again, Trump’s endorsed runner for Georgia Governor, Davis Perdue, is running behind

 

Stacy Abrams told the truth about Georgia to her audience during a fund-raising dinner.  Abrams said: “I am tired of hearing about [Georgia} being the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live.  When you’re number 48 for mental health, when you’re number one for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that’s on the rise and wages that are on the decline, then you are not the number one place to live in the United States.”

“But we can get there,” Abrams added. “You see, Georgia is capable of greatness. We just need greatness to be in our governor’s office.”

She was pushing against Gov. Brian Kemp’s claims that Georgia is ranked best in the nation for business.  Kemp and David Perdue are running against each other for the GOP nomination.

Perdue, however, offered none of this context when he attacked Abrams last Monday.

Former senator, David Perdue, who is trailing in the polls against Brian Kemp for Georgia’s GOP gubernatorial nomination, he attacked Stacey Abrams, the Democrat running unopposed in her primary.  Perdue was claiming she’s “demeaning her own race.”

During a campaign stop in Georgia., Perdue asked the crowd if they had seen “what Stacey said this weekend.”

“She said that Georgia is the worst place in the country to live,” Perdue said. “Hey, she ain’t from here. Let her go back where she came from if she doesn’t like it here.”

Abrams, who served in the Georgia House of Representatives for a decade, moved to Georgia when she was in high school and has lived there for most of her life.

Perdue was again referring to those statements Abrams made during her fundraising dinner, in which she again referred to the state’s poor ranking in multiple issues as stated above., 

(Because of Stacy Abrams attitude towards Georgia, Democratic voting is surging in Georgia despite controversial new election laws.)

Perdue also said: “The only thing she wants is to be president of the United States.”  He added: “When she told Black farmers, ‘You don’t need to be on the farm,’ and she told Black workers in hospitality and all this, ‘You don’t need to be’ — she is demeaning her own race when it comes to that. I am really over this. She should never be considered for material for governor of any state, much less our state…where she hates to live.”

Perdue was referring to comments Abrams made in 2018, when, she told voters she wanted to “create lots of different jobs. … Because people shouldn’t have to go into agriculture or hospitality in Georgia to make a living. Why not create renewable energy jobs?”

Perdue, who has been polling way behind Brian Kemp, has also been endorsed by former president Donald Trump, and Perdue’s comments Monday echoed some of Trump’s own racist statements.

In 2019, for instance, the former president remarked that four minority, elected, liberal congresswomen (known as “the Squad”) should “go back” to their countries.  At the time, that statement prompted broad U.S. condemnation.

Trump, during a “tele-rally” for Perdue last week, also lashed out against Abrams, falsely telling voters she would: “radicalize your children and plunder your wealth and all of the other things.”

Still, Trump said Abrams would beat Perdue’s primary opponent Kemp in a general election matchup.

“Stacey Abrams totally dominates Brian Kemp,” Trump said.

For once, let’s hope Trump is correct.
