Abrams to Deliver Dems’ State of the Union Response
The Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | January 29, 2019 | Tamar Hallerman & Greg Bluestein

Posted on 01/29/2019 12:15:45 PM PST by Cecily

Stacey Abrams will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week, giving the former gubernatorial candidate one of the nation’s most prominent pulpits as she considers whether to run for U.S. Senate in 2020.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters he asked her to deliver the address, which will air shortly after Trump finishes his address to a joint session of Congress next week, because “she has led the charge for voting rights, which is at the root of just about everything else.”

The speech will be a pivotal moment for Abrams, who narrowly lost last year’s gubernatorial race to Republican Brian Kemp and refused to formally concede the race, citing his refusal to step down as the state’s top elections official.

I actually wished Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would give the response. That would be entertaining.

"she has led the charge for voting rights"

Who doesn't yet have the right to vote? Illegal aliens.

She’s been unemployed since November. Maybe she’ll talk about that.

Ocasio is going to be in charge of getting the drinks, spicy chicken wings and jalapeno poppers for the “democrats” and their illegal alien and LGBT guests.

Why don’t they bring back that old man, that former governor of Kentucky, to give the response. Didn’t he excite Democrats when he had that chance????

It looks like the Dems are planning to try to scuttle AOC and make her career in Congress a short one, so no high profile gigs for her.

Interesting, most of the nation wants to Build the Wall, and the Democrats want to highlight voting rights. . .interestinng juxtaposition given that many of us are concerned about illegal aliens voting.

She’s a dim bulb but one who checks all the Dem boxes...black, female, ignorant but willing to say anything...heck, what more could you want?

Wait! Is she a lesbian or considering “transitioning” ... if not maybe the Dems need to rethink this. She hasn’t really checked all the boxes yet.

Let’s see how this angry black belligerence and antagonism goes over in “middle America”.

Trotting out these angry antagonistic people may well make people think, that the Democrats are a steady parade of kooks and crackpots.

Now, watch them try to deny his guests, outside of family.
Just watch. At a minimum, someone will say it out loud.

I wonder if she will recycle the old canard, that black people and others are too uneducated, too stupid even, to get an ID to vote and do other things in life.
