Stacey Abrams Laughably Tries a New Tack in Her Desperate Bid for the VP Nod (and Here’s Why)
Red State ^ | May 7, 2020 | Sister Toldjah

Failed 2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams did an “interview” with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday that was, like most interviews she’s done, designed to beef up her alleged vice presidential qualifications at a critical time when Joe Biden’s VP “selection” committee are helping him decide who his running mate will be. During the segment, Amanpour twice mentioned the fact that Abrams was “pitching” herself as the most viable option for Biden to pick, talking about how she was out there “auditioning” for the position and showing her “resume” because of what she (Abrams) “feels” is her “right as a black woman” to put herself out there as a contender.

Abrams’ answer to Amanpour’s set-up question will arguably go down in history as one of the most laughable whoppers ever told by a Democrat. Read it in full below, and then watch the video of her actually making the claim with a straight face:

She was about 50K votes away from being the gov of GA. That was way to close in a red state.

What this is with Stacey is "hunger"...she wants what she wants and, by God, she's gonna take it.

Stacey is her own helicopter parent and determined, fully deserving minority honor student all rolled into one giant package.

She has the right to put herself forward for the VP position. And we have the right to laugh at her delusions of competence.

I’d like to know what she means by “years of experience in independent study of foreign relations”

Simple explanation: she reads the newspaper occasionally.

I demand she step down from office if she is going to be on the ticket.

Stacy Abrams got turned around in Atlanta and pulled into a gas station for directions. She asked the first guy she saw, Hey, how do I get to 285. He replied, diet and exercise.

The problem with Stacey and others like her is it’s all about color. It’s not qualification or experience just the color of her skin. She mentioned color and woman of color 4-5 times in the answer like that’s all that matters. I don’t understand how you become so obsessed with something that superficial that you think that alone qualifies you for anything.

Abrams independent study of foreign relations?

She used to be a romance writer——one sex-crazed character was named Juan and another was named Pierre.

There you have it.......it took time for Abrams to learn how to pronounce and spell foreign names.

When you are so taught, so advised, and so reported on.

Has this loser ever repaid her student loan or is she still living in her parents’ basement while she tries to get a job as an unqualified color of the month Dem vice presidential candidate pick? Stacy, your 15 minutes is up. Repay your loan, deadbeat.
