Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams‘ campaign owes more than $1 million to vendors following her second failed attempt to win the state’s governorship, according to a new report.

Despite raising more than $100 million during her campaign, Ms. Abrams, hailed by many in her party as an organizing and voter-mobilizing star, has left her 180 former campaign staffers in a lurch by cutting off their pay a week after the Nov. 8 election, according to the political news website Axios.

“People have told me they have no idea how they’re going to pay their rent in January,” a former staffer told Axios. “It was more than unfortunate. It was messed up.”

How is that possible!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

I'm telling you—that woman can eat!

No Worries! All of the $$$ went to good people, for good reasons, and for the betterment of mankind. Like every time Bernie Sanders runs for president. One of the last times he ‘dropped’ out of the race, presto! A house by the lake! He now has 3?, 4?, 5? houses? One election cycle his wife ‘earned’ tens of millions $$$. As a San Francisco DemocRAT once said about elections ‘if we
don’t win, we don’t eat.’ Getting a job, getting up every day and going to work is anathema to these creeps.

What was the Hillary debt three years after the 2016 election? The DNC did some kind of ‘footwork’ and cleared that debt in the end.

It was messed up. Math is hard. Accounting is harder.

I am sure she really DID eat the Waffle House.

[The Free Engineer]

So people working for her campaign expected permanent employment? Even after a loss?

[Jimmy Valentine]

Wonder how much she stole and socked away out of sight.

[Lizavetta]

She siphoned it off and hid it somewhere. I doubt it she’s in any financial trouble.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

#6: "I am sure she really DID eat the Waffle House."

Let's just say Stacey has a Waffle House "frequent flyer" card.

Except that she can only sit at the open end of a booth!

She’s toast. No one will want to work for a stiff. We’ll see lots of appointments, but I’d doubt we’ll see any more wide open runs after treating your people like this.

[RoosterRedux]

She laundered it by paying friends' organizations (law firms/consulting firms) for various campaign-related services. You can bet that there will be more than just 10% to the Big Guy Gal.

Frequent flyer card? Heck, she owned the whole airline.

Follow the $$ and there will a large gapped tooth trail of self indulgence.

It's a funny thing about these campaigns. They have a fixed end date. They always end with an election in early November. It's odd the staff members didn't plan for that.

Did they check the Popeye’s receipts?

Maybe you'll learn you shouldn't get in bed with government grifters like Abrams.
