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

Posted on 01/03/2022 7:04:07 PM PST by Rummyfan

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."

When Stacy goes to the zoo, the elephants throw her peanuts.


Yes, she’s fat, gapped-toothed and spouts crazy ideas, but my advice (not that it’s worth anything) is do not underestimate her. She took her defeat in the governor’s race in 2018 and used it to become a powerful figure in GA and US politics.

She may be physically unattractive but that doesn’t mean she’s stupid.

From Wikipedia (I know, I know, but it’s hilarious!)

“During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Abrams actively promoted herself for consideration as former vice president Joe Biden’s running mate. Biden later shortlisted Abrams for the position. Kamala Harris was officially announced as Biden’s running mate on August 11, 2020.”

potatojoe vowed to choose a black woman for his running mate. Those were his only qualifications. Abrams is a woman and genetically more black (as well as much bigger) than Harris, but potatojoe chose Harris. Imagine getting that call!

potatojoe- “Sorry, Abrams, I choose wHore-is as my running mate.”
Abrams- “But why?”
potatojoe- Harris slept around but you’re just round (and round and round and round).

ROFLOL

Before God said ‘Let there be Light’ he told Stacy to get out of the way.

A ghettopatamus is just a ghettopatamus. The rebranding will fail.

Phillips is a black multi-millionaire MARXIST moneybags for a lot of black leftist campaigners and has been very successful, esp. In Virginia and a few other states.

Call him a “black George Soros/Tom Steyer” mini-MARXIST posing as a liberal.

A very smart and dangerous man.

I wish aliens would abduct her and drop her off for good on an all-you-can-eat planet. It doesn’t even have to be a nice one.
