Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor in Georgia, declared during a debate with Kemp on Sunday night that 107 sheriffs had endorsed her opponent, incumbent Republican Brian Kemp, because they “want to be able to take black people off the streets.”
Kemp unveiled the mass endorsement of his reelection bid in November 2021, arguing at the time that “it has never been more dangerous to put on a uniform, and we’ve seen that during this once-in-a-century pandemic, civil unrest and the radical defund-the-police movement that continues to gain steam in Washington, D.C., and other liberal cities across the country.”
“Despite being vilified by many, these men and women get up every day and put the uniform on and serve and protect us,” he added.
The governor has characterized calls for defunding the police as “simply an insane idea.” Abrams has denied that she supports defunding law enforcement, but she serves as a leader in multiple organizations that do.
Earlier this month, Abrams said that she “supports law enforcement.” But on Sunday, Abrams opted for a more adversarial approach toward the state’s men and women in uniform.
After Kemp, speaking of the police, promised to “continue to have their back,” and after he touted the endorsement, Abrams replied, “As I have pointed out before, I am not a member of the ‘good ole boys’ club.”
“So no, I don’t have 107 sheriffs who want to be able to take black people off the streets, who want to be able to go without accountability,” she continued.
At least one of Kemp’s endorsers, Sheriff Charles Davis of Quitman County, a Democrat — is black. Kemp has also been endorsed by the Georgia Fraternal Order of Police, the Police Benevolent Association of Georgia, and former Democratic governor Joe Frank Harris,

The crazier she talks, the more $$$ Hollywood and Leftist PACs send her.
I have a Bulloch County Sheriff’s Department hat that was given to me by a black deputy, a friend from high school.
Obviously, BUT 44% of GA voters will vote for her. So they're at least as crazy as she is and one heck of a lot dumber. GA is about 31% black, so she has about 90% of 31% locked up. No matter how bad the democrat policies are, not matter how stupid or senile the candidate that contingent will vote democrat so she starts off with 28% of the vote. now the suburban box wine drinking college edjuamated soccor moms will vote democrat because they learned in college (and probably the only thing they learned) that Democrat = good, Republican = bad. The welfare parasites will vote for her because she's a Democrat and the Democrats always steal more money from the industrious and use that money to buy votes from the indolent than Republicans. So you can see that Kemp isn't a guaranteed winner. Democrat voters are like rats in you house. they destroy everything they can. meanwhile crying about how mistreated they are, constantly desperately searching for something to be offended by so they can cry victim again and again.
If so, they’re not doing a very good job of it. They’ve left entire neighborhoods and even cities filled with people she says they want to pick up.
What an idiot.
Riiight, Ghettopotamus.
I’d assume that many of those sheriffs are black.
What a messed up lady.
Stacy Abrams wants to take black people out of the womb to fight inflation. Is it still bad to call her buck toothed fat albert?
So, she is equating skin color to criminal activity?
how racist is that!
Kind of stupid ... there are many black sheriffs in GA.
Democrats MUST divide the races, specifically Blacks v. Whites, it’s the only way to get out the vote and energize this group of 95% reliable dem voters.
Anyone with a brain knows that she needs to be trying to get the independent voters to support her to win this.
The fact that she’s talking like this means she doesn’t even feel that the left is going to turn out and vote for her.
Racist grifter.
if they are criminals, absolutely!
The black Hillary.
