I don't know about racist, but it certainly indicates the Republican hypocrisy of their proclaimed new love for the 'working class.'

Haven't you heard? "Working class" only applies to white people in rural areas. Anyone apart from them are "elitists."

When I just read the headline, I knew this was a Bronz post.

Maybe because she has better policies to benefit everyone?

Are you sure about that? She's Atlanta-centric. What will she do for rural voters? What will Kemp or Abrams do for Georgia?

Raise the minimum wage, fight special interests in politics, invest in education and infrastructure, expand healthcare, protect civil rights and promote common-sense gun laws. Kemp will be a puppet of his donors, not expand medical care, and pursue a far-right agenda. Sure, if you're hard right, he's your man.

Can she do that with a GOP-controlled State Legislature? Will she be railroaded like Obama?

So if she's going to be obstructed by a Republican state government, why are you so worried about her only representing urban areas at the expense of everywhere else?

Finally bronz asks a good question.

Congrats Governor Brian Kemp?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Seriously, what a stupid-ass move for her to make.  That would be like if Joe Donnelly said "Hoosiers shouldn't have to husk corn or make RVs for a living."

Okay this is definitely a quote taken out of context (ffs the article links to a 5 second video clip). It's already been known, based on her stump speeches, that she wants Georgians to have options to "newer" job sectors (renewable energy, coding, etc.) rather than only be limited to agriculture or hospitality sectors which are some of GA's biggest sectors.  

Kemp is really reaching at this point.

When has Republicans taking an opponents' quote out of context ever not worked before?

Just a reminder that TargetSmart whiffed BADLY in 2016. They were literally missing multiple states by double digits. Don't take their "modeled partisanship" garbage seriously.

I remember that. Clinton was supposedly ahead in Florida by 7 at one point in a TargetSmart poll.

Abrams is increasingly open to challenging Perdue but still prefers a rematch.

Hyping up her ego and suggesting the election was stolen is exactly the wrong message she needs to hear if she's going to win a Senate race against Perdue though. There needs to be some accountability

No one is asserting that it was "stolen," just that there was a conflict of interest with Kemp not resigning as Secretary of State and implementing voter restrictions at a very suspicious time.
