Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, has always been a controversial figure in the Peach State.
In addition to burning the state flag on the steps of the Georgia Capitol in 1992, she was embroiled for three years in a vote fraud scandal involving a "Registration initiative" called the New Georgia Project, an organization partially funded by a $500,000 contribution from George Soros.
The Soros connection, for example, doesn't stop with NGP. The Atlanta Journal Constitution, by no means a conservative publication, reports: "George Soros has given $1.25 million to Abrams' political action committee, GeorgiaNEXT, since 2014. He also donated $1 million to the Georgia Democratic Party this year to support her campaign for governor."
Is all this lefty largesse enough to propel Abrams into the Georgia governor's mansion? Not if she can't do better in a more competitive environment than she was faced with during last night's Georgia Public Broadcasting debate, which was moderated by Abrams-friendly public "Journalists" who repeatedly tossed her softball questions, interrupted her Republican opponent, and gave an absurd amount of time for the goofy effusions of Libertarian Ted Metz.
First, Stacey Abrams, a Democrat, is the first woman to lead either party in the Georgia General Assembly, and the first African-American to lead the Georgia House of Representatives.
This produced about ten seconds of awkward silence in the studio, after which Abrams was asked about the flag-burning incident on the steps of the Georgia Capitol: "Do you stand by those actions and what message do you have for the people who are concerned that you burned a state symbol even though it contained a Confederate emblem?"Abrams responded with a word salad about how proud she was to be a Georgian, how she grew up in the state, went to Spelman College, went away to graduate school, but came back because she wanted to make Georgia a better place.
What I'm fight for now is more of Georgia values, making sure that we expand Medicaid so that everyone has access to health insurance and making sure that everyone can get good prosperous jobs across the state of Georgia.
