The optics of a maskless Stacey Abrams sitting among a sea of masked children were so bad that she went on CNN Tuesday evening to apologize for her “mistake” and assure the citizens of Georgia that she would “set the right example” as governor and wear a mask. That’s funny, because the initial response from her campaign was to call criticism of the photo “a false political attack” that was especially shameful as it was related to an event for Black History Month.
Greg Bluestein ~ “Protocols matter.” On @CNN, Stacey Abrams apologizes for taking off her mask to take pictures with students, calling it a “mistake.” She says she would “set the right example” as governor and wear masks but not be “hardline” if conditions change.
jimtreacher.substack.com ~ Wow, what a disaster. I'm so happy.
DanielJ ~ If it was on CNN hardly anyone saw it.
Spicy Orange Will ~ Wait ... why is she apologizing? I thought her campaign said this was a “false political attack,” was “pitiful and predictable,” and was probably racist.
Stephen L. Miller ~ Her campaign called this nothing but a racist attack.
Matt Gorman ~ So is the criticism still racist and false, as her initial statement claims?
IG ~ Greg, so is it now not racist and a mistake or was it a racist mistake? Just need some clarification ...
True Scotsman ~ She didn’t just take her mask off for a picture. She had it off for the whole event, as evidenced by pictures from the school.
Stephe96 ~ Why can’t she just say the kids should be unmasked?
Because her campaign hasn’t got the polling results back yet.
Matt Whitlock ~ Incredible that it took two days and multiple waves of maskless photos for her to come out and do this.
Stacey Abrams is one of the most overrated politicians of the modern era.
Will Collier ~ She’s toast, and the AJC can’t save her.
Uh, oh ... looks like there's gonna be a whole lotta prone bonin' in ribit's immediate future to help poor Stacey git over this PR disaster, don'tcha know!
Bentley Greg ~ They are trying hard to save her. @gwlauren just said 48 hours ago that the mask criticisms were “silly,” now it’s a mistake ... hmmmm.
TheTwentyFirst ~ In other words Abrams doesn't like being called out for her blatant hypocrisy, but will change as long as that's what everyone wants her to do.
Spicy Orange Will ~ Mildly surprised she hasn’t blamed the kids.
“Those little brats set me up!”
Chris ~ It's ok, she'll never be governor. She can afford these slip ups.
But, but, but ... if'n Stacey never moves into the Georgia Governor's Mansion ... HOW IN THE HELL is ribit ever gonna git her to move outta da royal castle in Toad Suck???!!!
So we should just forget the angry statement her campaign put out?
