Stacey Abrams slammed for maskless pic surrounded by masked kids

Democratic star and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has sparked outrage after tweeting a photo of herself posing indoors with masked-up students — without wearing a mask herself.

Abrams, 48, joins many of her Democratic peers including California Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who have been seen gallivanting indoors without masks despite supporting strict face-covering mandates.

The former state minority leader initially tweeted the photo herself at Glennwood Elementary School in Atlanta Friday, writing “Spending time with Glennwood’s amazing students, faculty and staff ranks as spectacular, delightful and outstanding.”

Not only were the pictured students wearing masks, but all the adults in the room also appeared to be masked. *** Abrams’ campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo tweeted that “Our opponents took a brief break from licking Trump’s boots this weekend to issue baseless attacks.”

Groh-Wargo also tried to downplay the incident, explaining in another tweet that Abrams only removed her mask “so she could be heard by students watching remotely and for photos” with kids wearing face coverings.

Just last week, Newsom came under fire after posing maskless for a photo during the 49ers-Rams NFL game – defying a local mandate and the LA stadium’s own requirements. The Democratic insisted he was “very judicious” about wearing the mask and only took it off for a photo.

And when both San Francisco Mayor Breed and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti smiled for a maskless pic with Magic Johnson at the same game, Garcetti claimed he held his breath for the pic, which prevented him from contracting COVID-19.

Breed caused a stir in September, too, when after issuing one of the strictest indoor mask mandates in the state, she was photographed at a city jazz club dancing and singing without a mask. ***

Big Black Stacey goes maskless, surrounded by kneeling mostly white masked kids.

No subliminal message here.

Heh! That’s hilarious. It took me a few moments to spot the important difference.

Let’s talk about the REAL elephant in the room. How did Stacey find a classroom in Georgia, probably Atlanta, with about sixty to seventy white kids and the best I can tell, three black kids? Please, someone explain it,,because it had to have been prearranged, for what purpose?

Good point. Maybe it wasn’t an Atlanta public school.

But, the real elephant in the room is Stacey!

Thought I would do a little research. She was at Glenwood Elementary in Decatur Georgia.

Below is the statement from the principal, which is unbelievable since most of the kids in the room were white. Is Stacey practicing Critical Race Theory in the classroom, did she request an all white photo op?

“The photos were originally tweeted Friday by the school’s principal, Holly Brookins, who wrote, “Extraordinary way to kick off the 3rd Annual African-American Read-In at Glennwood and Black History Month.”
