Stacey Abrams - the wannabe, would be, and in her own mind, 'should be' Governor of Georgia.

This woman raised presidential campaign level funds - yet many of her staffers are unable to pay rent next month. And somehow the Left still loves her so much, she was given a cameo as "President of Earth" in a recent Star Trek series.

Stacey Abrams for Governor raised over $103 million. Yes, $103,000,000. And yet ended 7.5 points behind incumbent Republican Brian Kemp and $1 million in debt. This was far sharper than her 2018 defeat, when she lost to Kemp by only 1.4 points and then proceeded on multiple tirades claiming she was the rightful victor who was “cheated” out of her victory.

Former staffers are reporting that “people have… no idea how they’re going to pay their rent in January. It was more than unfortunate. It was messed up.”​ Having lost, Abrams cut off paychecks to staff exactly one week following her crushing loss.

So how did Abrams blow through $103 million? Well, for starters she rented a house going for $12,500 a month for TikTok creators to use as a backdrop for her campaign, which her staffers say was hardly used and was eventually converted by staffers into a makeshift office. Funds were also shelled out for a pop-up shop and “swag truck” to distribute Abrams T-shirts and hoodies in an attempt to win over young voters. The attempts to snag votes with swag and TikToks are just a few of the more blatant examples of the misuse of funds.

But was it more than just poor financial planning that caused Abrams to lose yet again? Campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo alleged the campaign was hit by a “cavalcade of negative press and negative polling” that hurt fundraising in the final months, adding that it has had to work with brokers to sell donor and voter databases to help pay down the debt. ​​Staffers report her TV ads had to be cut in half during her final week due to poor financial management. As well as the campaign canceling mental health counseling for employees.

As a former Georgian who is married to a Georgian, I see it as my duty to inform Ms. Abrams that it wasn’t bad press which lost her Georgia, it was, well… her.

Ms. Abrams has a well-earned reputation for being a sore loser, having never conceded her 2018 loss. Telling CNN that Gov. Kemp “won under the rules of the game at the time, but the game was rigged against the voters of Georgia.” Claiming she lost due to “voter suppression.”

Abrams is also a massive fan of “follow the science” — but only when it comes to mask mandates (which we now know was Chinese propaganda) and untested vaccines. Claiming there is “no such thing” as fetal heartbeat at 6 weeks, and telling a TV audience that “it is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body."

Abrams went further: blaming babies and pregnancies for our current economic decline. So her solution? Murder the babies. Abrams told the hosts of MSNBC's 'Morning Joe.'

Abortion is an economic issue. It’s been reduced to this idea of a culture war. But for women in Georgia, this is very much a question of whether they’re going to end up in poverty in the next five years because women who are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies end up within poverty — they’re four times more likely to be impoverished in five years.

 

But let’s be clear. Having children is why you’re worried about your price for gas, it’s why you’re concerned about how much food costs. For women, this is not a reductive issue. You can’t divorce being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy from the economic realities of having a child. And so these are — it’s important for us to have ‘both and’ conversations. We don’t have the luxury of reducing it or separating them out…

So the answer to ending inflation and overturning the Biden administration’s ghastly policies is simply to murder babies? Anyone else hearing a famous quote by a despicable villain? Ah yes, I remember it: “If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.” — Scrooge, A Christmas Carol

This former Georgian is grateful my friends and neighbors have been spared the embarrassment that would have inevitably been Gov. Stacey Abrams. After all, if she can mismanage money to this extreme while spouting off lies as “science,” imagine the atrocious chaos she could manage in four years? Between Biden in the White House, and Abrams in the Governor's mansion, Georgia might have never recovered.
