Abrams Adviser Rips 'Exploitative' Biden's 'Entitlement': 'He Wants Her to Save His Ass'

An adviser to failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Wednesday evening ripped former Vice President Joe Biden for his "Entitlement" for wanting Abrams "To save his ass" in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.

In a BuzzFeed report that details the blowback from Abrams' supporters that even surprised Abrams after various outlets reported that Biden was considering naming Abrams as his vice presidential pick when he announces his candidacy, an Abrams adviser told the outlet that the stories were "Particularly exploitative" because "Biden couldn't be bothered to endorse Stacey in the gubernatorial primary."

Though representatives for Abrams and Biden denied the vice presidency reports, BuzzFeed reported that, according to two sources familiar with the matter, "Biden's team has pitched Abrams on the idea of being Biden's running mate at the outset of a 2020 campaign."

Abrams on Thursday told CBS This Morning that potentially being Biden's potential running mate "Was not the core issue" when they recently met in Washington, D.C. Ta-Nehisi Coates, "The Case for Reparations" author, recently pointed out Biden's "Problematic" record on social justice issues, and some of Abrams' allies worried that Biden would use her as his "Human shield" during the campaign on race issues.

Abrams admitted on Wednesday that she thought race was one reason that the media and left-wing elites elevated and gushed over failed Texas Senate candidate Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke and did not lift up Abrams and failed Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum in the same way.

Abrams previously said that she did not want to close the door on a 2020 presidential run because she wanted African-American women to understand that their "Achievements should not be diminished."

"I need women of color, particularly Black women, to understand that our achievements should not be diminished," Abrams recently told the New York Times.
