New Stacey 'Boxcar' Abrams Ad Puts Asterisk Next to Kemp’s Governor Title
[FREEBEACON] A new ad from Stacey Abrams
...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser. Loser. Loser.) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too...
's voting-rights nonprofit displays an asterisk next to Georgia governor Brian Kemp's (R.) name as the Democrat continues to suggest her former opponent's 2018 victory was illegitimate.

Starting with the words "Governor* Kemp?" flashed on the screen, Fair Fight Action attacked Kemp because he "sure does like to blow things up."

Continued from Page 6



The asterisk linked to an article in the Atlantic from Nov. 7, 2018, in which Emory professor Carol Anderson argued Kemp's lead over Abrams in the gubernatorial race that year "needs an asterisk."

When asked in January about the current 2020 field, Abrams said it was important to "stop re-litigating past elections."

Fair Fight Action did not respond to a request for comment on the ad, which attacked the governor for cutting funding for various state programs.

Abrams refused to officially concede the race despite losing by more than 54,000 votes and failing to keep Kemp short of the 50-percent threshold to avoid a runoff. She called Kemp an architect of voter suppression due to his role as Georgia's secretary of state and has repeatedly said in the months since her defeat that she "won" the election.

Her cause in Georgia has received attention from national Democrats, with presidential candidates such as Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay, which surprised no one. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He ran for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country. He lost that one too...

(N.J.) saying the race was stolen from Abrams.

Despite the claims of voter suppression, voter registration and turnout increased while Kemp was secretary of state. Fact checks have found there is no evidence voter suppression prevented Abrams from winning.

#1 Voter suppression and white supremacy are the new Marxist lexicon for "we can't win in a classical democratic nation".

#2 One word for "voter suppression," 12 across: ungovernable.

#3 They never add the word legitimate to the front of vote suppression.

Stopping fraud IS vote suppression.
