Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it "remains a blight on our state and should be removed."

"We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union," Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday, a response to the deadly violence sparked by white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Va.

I’m surprised some antifa or BLM types haven’t rappelled down the side of the mountain and defaced it with spray paint.

I exercise by walking around Stone Mountain. The town of Stone Mountain is now majority black and the majority of people walking, running, or biking around Stone Mountain are black.

If blacks had a problem with the carving, they would be boycotting Stone Mountain, instead they are enjoying exercising and the beauty of the park.

Thanks for ruining the surprise I had planned for this weekend.

She has no chance.

Democrats are a minority majority party, largely black.

They can’t win in a GOP state. That message won’t win over white voters.

Good luck with it.

It’s time Abrams shuts her mouth and pays off her debts.

She’s in debt $200,000 to the IRS, credit cards, and student loans.

Stacey Abrams herself remains a blight on our state and should be removed. Attempting to erase or rewrite history is a characteristic of a communist regime.

Is that what she is? What is wrong with her?

Just charge it to white voters.

Maybe they’ll give her an Obama mandate. Doubt it.

Evil can not create. It can only destroy or deface.

Stacey has the overall figure of Stone Mountain. You don’t have to eat it all, hon.

TRUE >> She is destined to loose.
Yet>> She is a National Mainstream Media darling. A standard bearer and role model for the Race Baiters and Black American Youth.
TRAGICALLY, she is the best Democrats have to offer.
