Failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is facing condemnation from conservatives after she appeared on MSNBC to defend a $2 billion initiative under the Biden administration's EPA to purchase green energy appliances for Americans.
"Stacey Abrams linked Power Forward Communities received $2 billion in tax dollars in 2024 after reporting just $100 in revenue the year before. They were so unqualified that the grant agreement required the NGO to complete ‘How to Develop a Budget’ training within 90 days," EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in comment provided to Fox Digital on Sunday.
"$2 billion in hard earned tax dollars should not have been doled out to this organization for many reasons, especially if they don’t even know how to put together a budget. The Biden EPA ‘gold bars’ scheme is riddled with self-dealing and conflicts of interest, unnecessary middlemen, unqualified recipients, and massively reduced government oversight. The funds are currently frozen, and the DOJ and FBI are investigating."
Zeldin's response followed Abrams joining MSNBC on Friday to defend the Biden administration granting $2 billion last year to a group called Power Forward Communities.
The group is a consortium of housing nonprofits, such as Habitat for Humanity International, United Way Worldwide and Rewiring America. Abrams reportedly "played a pivotal role" in establishing the group, according to a LinkedIn post by Ian Magruder, who works at one of the coalition's partners, Rewiring America, Fox Digital previously reported.
Abrams worked with Rewiring America to bring energy efficient appliances to a Georgia community in 2023 and 2024, she said on MSNBC while defending the billions in funds provided to Power Forward Communities.
"What is this organization? What is your relation to to it? And what does it do," MSNBC's Chris Hayes asked Abrams during the program.

I have an electric stove in my apartment...I would LOVE a gas stove.
Well, it does take a LOT of refrigerators and freezers to store Stacy’s monthly grocery load.
(Stacey Abrams slammed after defending $2 billion in Biden-era EPA funds to buy green energy appliances)
Are you certain that it wasn’t $2 billion in groceries that she bought?
Or $2 billion in crab 🦀 🦀 🦀 legs at the local buffet?
only two gases from stacy...gaslight and noxious.
She did not get a pardon.
She should be careful laundering tax money after getting caught red-handed.
Abrams needs $2 billion in refrigerators to keep a days worth of food ?
Looks like she could supply most of the country with methane gas
She has nothing to worry about. She is Black.
Me too. And we have gas available.
This fat ass should be in prison. She’s a crook.
Woust I coulda got me sum o dat mula so ezee.
2 billion is a lot of scratch.
Where did the money go? Are these supposedly “non-profit” NGOs required to account for taxpayer money spent? They should be. Check the ghettopotomas’ bank account, my guess is it might be there.
$2 billion , this needs an investigation
i have used both, and in my opinion, the main advantage of gas is in heating a large frying pan. it’s almost impossible to get uniform heat in a large pan with an electric stove; however, gas wastes a lot of its heat content in hot combustion products that fly up the sides of the pot making the handles too hot to touch. for example if you’re trying to boil water quickly and turn the gas up all the way about 2/3 of the heat bypasses the pot. I’ve found that an electric “burner” is faster at boiling water.
Agree. along with a lot of the Democrat bureaucrats in Atlanta and Fulton county
“a $2 billion initiative under the Biden administration’s EPA to purchase green energy appliances for Americans.” I never got any money or an appliance.
“Stacey Abrams Slammed”
Metaphorically only.
Pretty sure that the Companies that MADE these appliances made sure they were MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT!!! FREE!! FREE!!
Payback for stealing election.
