CBS Anchor Tells Stacey Abrams She’s ‘Extremely Qualified’ to Be Vice President
freebeacon ^ | APRIL 21, 2020 | David Rutz

CBS This Morning anchor and Barack Obama donor Gayle King gushed over Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams on Tuesday morning, saying the former state legislator and failed gubernatorial candidate is "extremely qualified" to be vice president of the United States.

Abrams is openly lobbying to serve as Joe Biden's running mate come November, despite never being elected to any office beyond the state legislature. As she touted her voting rights work and "competence and skills and willingness to serve," King cut in to praise her as ready to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

"That's a great nuts and bolts answer because everybody knows you're extremely qualified," King said. "I'm looking for something about Stacey Abrams the person. Why is she a good choice and have you had any talks at all with the Biden team?"

Abrams said she had communicated with the Biden team on improving voting infrastructure. She added that she would continue to focus on election reform, whether she is tapped as his running mate or not.

King has not let her role as a journalist stop her from publicly championing her friends within Democratic and liberal circles, such as Sen. Cory Booker (D., N.J.), Barack and Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey. She is so close with Booker that she joked in 2012 that "no boinking" had occurred when the two hung out for an evening. She also donated $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund in 2011 before she joined CBS News that same year.

She admitted in a Washington Post profile last year that she would not betray one of her friendships to get a scoop. For instance, she said she knew Booker would run for president before he officially announced it, but she didn't break the story. King vacationed in 2017 with the Obamas, but she has claimed that her recreational trips were "not political" and thus not unethical.

Abrams has never held a position higher than House minority leader in the Georgia legislature, but she frequently expresses eagerness to run on the 2020 presidential ticket. She became a national Democratic star after her narrow loss in the 2018 Georgia governor's race, which she has blamed on disputed claims of voter suppression.

She told Elle magazine in an article published April 15 that her credentials for vice president included "25 years in independent study of foreign policy."

Outside of her political career, Abrams is a noted romance novelist, publishing several books under the pen name "Selena Montgomery." CBS is currently adapting one of her novels, Never Tell, into a TV drama.

Biden has pledged to choose a woman as his running mate. He's also reportedly considering Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer (D.) and Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), and Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.), among others.

Well, she has the gravitas thing, for sure. She might eat him, though, even without realizing it.

She’s extremely qualified to devour an extra large all-meat pizza.

She's an insufferable loser and cannot win any statewide election in Georgia.

BLACK PANTHERS FOR ABRAMS

Abrams marched armed Black Panthers around Georgia alerting Georgians to what they were in for should she win.
She and Democrats cleared out every cemetery and drove every illegal alien in Georgia to the polls.......
to no avail, Abrams got clobbered by Kemp.

STACEY ABRAMS USED TO WRITE STEAMY ROMANCE NOVELS — HERE ARE THE RAUNCHIEST EXCERPTS
Scott Morefield | Daily Caller Reporter, 11/03/2018

Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams used to moonlight as a steamy romance novelist. From 2001 to 2009, Abrams produced eight books under the pseudonym Selena Montgomery. She claimed to have sold over 100,000 copies and to have won several awards for her writing. The Federalist posted several steamy passages from Abrams’ work.

(Beware, they contain explicit sexual content.)

From “Secrets and Lies” (2006): He thrust deep, control broken, shattered. Again and again, deeper and hotter and further than fantasy. With urgency, she accepted him, fascinated by the power, and for a moment, she wavered, wondering if she was prepared. In the next second, she knew she could never be.Kat moved beneath him, her body too full to stay motionless. Theirs mouths coupled, imitating the dance that frenzied her limbs, wrapping her into him. Sebastian flew above her, driven to claim and imprint himself forever. He nuzzled her breast, finding the wild beats, and pressed a kiss just there, sealing his fate.

From “Reckless” (2009):‘Love me,’ he demanded, taking her up once more. Afraid she did, Kell kissed him, a merger that spoke words she wasn’t ready to say aloud. Arousal, ravenous and craven, bent to a stronger, more fragile need that consumed her. She opened for him, and he plunged inside, dragging her to him. The rhythm caught them both, drove them to demand then offer. Endlessly, wonderfully, they fell into the greedy darkness and fought to give more than either could have imagined. An explosion, his, hers, theirs, brought twin cries and release.

Liz, did you have to do that?

On second thought, Stacey should carry this unearthed by you as an albatross with her every moment if she runs.

PS-—I doubt she wrote it herself.

JFK had Arthur Schlesinger ghost write Profiles In Courage for him.

Stacey Abrams and her ghost writer aimed a little lower.

Biden will be picking the President. He will never serve a day after the stolen 2020 election.

If Joe picks her, he can channel his “inner Hunter.”

“Well qualified” - considering who they are running for President, I can see their point.

Stacey Abrams is trying to box Joe Biden in to picking her as his running mate by playing the social justice card

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/stacey-abrams-is-trying-to-box-joe-biden-in-to-picking-her-as-his-running-mate-by-playing-the-social-justice-card

In her latest nationally televised interview, she was asked on ABC’s The View whether she was “concerned” that Biden might decline to select, not just a woman, but a “woman of color,” as his No. 2.

“I would share your concern about not picking a woman of color,” she said, “because women of color, particularly black women, are the strongest part of the Democratic Party, the most loyal.”

She’s not wrong about that last part. They have about a 99% Democrat voting rate I think.

Obama endorses another Democrat loser---Andrew Gillum's governor's race in Fla. But all is not lost---

Gillum is now being considered Biden's VP running mate. Gillum made Biden's short list after being found
in the Mondrian South Beach hotel in Miami, stark naked with drug paraphernalia with a gay sex escort needing CPR.

"Andy was nice enough to invite to the Mondrian South Beach hotel for some fun. BTW, Andy. What's a nipple ring?"

The good days for Democrats just keep on coming.

HERE’S ANOTHER DEMOCRAT CONTENDER FOR BIDEN ‘S VP SWEEPSTAKES

Police Chief Caught Trying To Have Sex With 14-Year-Old Boy.
The chief’s messages illustrated his level of depravity, knowing full well he was communicating with a child.
Described his sexual desires to the boy, asking the size of the boy’s genitals, arranging to meet the child in an “out of the way” place.

Gayle King + Oprah Winfrey = 2 of the rudest POS I've ever seen at a restaurant.

I've seen better talent at an elementary school talent contest.
