Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) is getting clobbered
by incumbent Governor Brian Kemp (R), so she’s throwing out everything
but the kitchen sink in an attempt to scare voters and curry support
for her failing campaign.
This week, Abrams campaigned with billionaire Oprah Winfrey at an event
called “A Thriving Life!” and told the pop culture icon that Georgians
should elect her or transgender kids will be banned from playing with
friends, parents will be forced to lie, 500,000 people will lose health
care, and LGBTQ individuals won’t be protected.
That’s not hyperbole, here’s what she said.
“If we don’t elect me, we will have no health care for half a million
Georgians,” Abrams told Winfrey, according to Fox News’ Ashley Hume.
“Our children will continue to go to underfunded schools where
transgender children have been banned from playing with their friends.”
That sounds more like a threat than a campaign prediction, but it’s
also just not true.
No “transgender children” have been banned by schools from playing with
their buddies in Georgia. Nor is that a proposal.
There is a law regarding children competing in sports aligned with
their sex and gender — but that isn’t what she said.
The candidate also claimed that parents will be forced to lie to their
kids.
“We will have divisive laws that say that you have to lie to your
children about their history,” she added.
“The members of the LGBTQ community will not have protection,” she
threw in for good measure.
But Abrams wasn’t done. Every Georgia voter’s entire future is on the
line, apparently.
Only the lady who played “President of United Earth” on “Star Trek” can
protect you.
“And so if you want opportunity, freedom, and the ability to control
your future, you need me as governor, because Brian Kemp’s proven he
doesn’t care, and he won’t help,” he added.
The predictions spooked Winfrey.
“It’s really frightening,” she said during the event.
Well, it’s not that frightening. It’s totally garbage, propaganda, and
lies.
Consider that Abrams also called Georgia’s 2021 voting reform bill “Jim
Crow 2.0.”
The Left claimed that the law signed by Kemp would disenfranchise
millions of Peach Tree State voters, especially minorities.
Yet in the first year that the bill was implemented, Georgia
experienced record-high voting.
Early voting started on Monday and saw 133,000 voters come to the
polls. Black voters accounted for 39% of those voters, according to
some reports.
In other words, she was incorrect.
That seems to be the case much of the time. Abrams: Often wrong, never
in doubt.

So we're at the stage of the campaign where we literally make up
bald-faced lies, knowing the media is on our side and won't call us on
it.
Progress!

The government regulating what you can and can't say to your own kids in
your own home? Seriously?
What the hell is she smoking?

Not just record-high voting, but record high *minority* voting.

What does that have to do with her claim that there will be laws
regulating what parents are allowed to say to their own children?
