Georgia Dem Abrams on racist robocall impersonating Oprah and if people feel 'votes don't count'
ABC "News" ^ | November 5, 2018 | By CHEYENNE HASLETT

Posted on 11/05/2018 9:19:16 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

In the wake of a racist robocall in Georgia by someone impersonating Oprah Winfrey, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said she is concerned state residents may feel like "their votes don't count."

"This is the magical negro, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow negress, Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia," the call said in part. The message also included a slew of racist language including references to Aunt Jemima.

Both campaigns have denounced the calls, which were paid for by a group called Road to Power.

"Are you concerned these racist appeals are going to work?" ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked Abrams on "Good Morning America" on Monday.

"What I'm concerned about is that his overarching architecture of voter suppression, of ostracization, of demeaning and dehumanizing people, that that can cause people to think that their votes don't count, which is why we've been so aggressive about telling people the best antidote to his antics is to actually turn out and engage," Abrams said.

“Good Morning America” reached out to both candidates to join the show Monday, but Kemp declined.

Who is running the ads?

Why hasn’t ABC ever called out Democrats for calling black Republicans race traitors, uncle toms, house negroes, aunt jemimahs etc?

Of course this was a democrat gig probably set up by none other the Democrat, Ms Stacey Abrams, herself. Why? Her internal polling is now showing she is going to be defeated badly in her bid to become the Governor of Georgia.

Remember....Desperate Democrats will always do desperate things. Remember “Judge Brett Kavanaugh”!!!

“I don’t know, the gopE is known to do crap like this to sabotage good conservatives who don’t meet the globalist threshold.”

My impression is Kemp is more of a moderate.

No black person in the year 2018 would use the term ‘Negress’ unless they were joking or doing a parody.
That’s an old fashioned term, such as ‘Octoroon’, for a person who is said to be one eighth black by descent.

I really hope the Georgians are paying attention.
Just yesterday the Black Panthers, armed with rifles marched in public to show their ‘support’ for Abrams.
So if she becomes Governor, expect her to be a willing tool of Black Separatists. I’m sure reparations will be back on the table.

Has ABC done a cumulative report of how many of last week’s “hate crimes” were committed by Democrat staffers like the guy in New York?

Interesting. Do you have a specific, verified example?
