Here Comes the Stacey Abrams Media Rebrand
WFB ^ | 3 Jan 2021 | Andrew Stiles

Stacey Abrams was repeatedly praised as a "bold progressive" with an "unapologetically left" agenda during her failed gubernatorial campaign in 2018. Now that she's running again in 2022, Abrams and her media allies would like to revise the record by insisting that she is in fact a pragmatic moderate.

Astead Herndon's most recent piece in the New York Times suggests the Stacey Abrams rebranding effort is well underway. Herndon, author of articles such as "Menace Enters the Republican Mainstream," conducted his own "review" of Abrams's political ideology and found "a leader who has carefully calibrated her positions, making a point to avoid drifting into one Democratic lane or another."

The article includes a revealing quote from Democratic megadonor Steve Phillips about why white progressives, who comprise the vast majority of party activists and professional journalists, have been so willing to embrace Abrams as one of their own. "It's hard for white progressives to be too critical of someone who is so strongly and fiercely unapologetically Black and female," Phillips told the Times. "Her authenticity comes from the sectors that are the core parts of the progressive base."

Leopards never change their spots. I don’t have a clue what elephants do.

She's so big, when she sits around the house, she sits AROUND the house.

Warmth in the winter, shade in the summer.

WH handlers to Georgia Dems: “All our governors have to toe the White House line. We’ll have to find ways to get around Stacey so we’ll get our way.”

Georgia Dem leader: “Like you guys know how to get around AOC and Omar?”

WH Handlers: “Yeah but getting around Stacey is a much bigger trip.”

Rebranding? Kind of like that picture of the lady on the Pancake Mix box.

I was in Pottery Barn about a year or so ago and there was a display of influential black women which included Rosa Parks, Michael Obama, Maya Angelou, The Oprah, and to my surprise, Stacey Abrams. Abrams is a black godzHillary who refused to believe Kemp defeated her in the Georgia gubernatorial election in 2018. She wuz robbed!!

Since then, she has been hailed as an election integrity enforcer by boosting Democrat voter turnout in Georgia by 800,000 (cough), and had a part in the certification of the Georgia electors in 2020, which saw evidence of election malfeasance (cough Ruby Freeman cough cough cough).

Shelf-butt Abrams is planning on running for Georgia governor again, primaries are held in May, 2022.

We are fortunate that someone this evil wears her ugliness on the outside. Imagine the power she could grab otherwise.
