During her response to Trump's State of the Union address, Stacey Abrams called out Trump's inhumane immigration polices, and voter suppression.
"We know bipartisanship could craft a 21st century immigration plan, but this administration chooses to cage children and tear families apart," said Abrams about Trump's immigration policies in her response.
Knowing a thing or two about voter suppression, Abrams spoke on voter suppression:
We can do so much more: Take action on climate change. Defend individual liberties with fair-minded judges. But none of these ambitions are possible without the bedrock guarantee of our right to vote.
Let’s be clear: voter suppression is real. From making it harder to register and stay on the rolls to moving and closing polling places to rejecting lawful ballots, we can no longer ignore these threats to democracy.
After having a far more incompetent speech than Donald Trump's, you knew that Donald Trump was going to be asked about her.
When he first asked about the possibility of Abrams running against Sen. David Perdue, Trump said it would be a "mistake."
"I think it's a mistake for her to run against him because I don't think she can win," Trump told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, "David Perdue is an incredible Senator, if you remember, and will be very had to beat."
When Abrams ran for Governor, Trump had said that Abrams was "not qualifiable," and when he was asked about her running for President, Trump had some odd logic.
"To run for president you’re supposed to have won, unless you’re a non-politician like me. I’d never ran. I’m one for one," Trump told the AJC.
Not only leave it to Trump to give higher standards for others than himself which is a sign of someone's lack of character, but leave it to the man to lecture people how the democratic process is supposed to work. After telling Democrats that the only way bipartisanship can work is if law and order is put to the side.
Unbelievably, what Donald Trump said was nothing compared to what Tucker Carlson said while on his show.
"The Fox News primetime star, who has asserted before to widespread criticism that diversity is bad, claimed Abrams is selling 'bitter division' and seeking to rally the 'marginalized to unite against the dominant groups,'namely white people," reported The Daily Beast.
Carlson on Abrams per The Daily Beast:
Carlson noted that “marginalized people,” according to Abrams, includes “women, Native Americans, African Americans, immigrants, and the LGBTQ community.”
And so, he added, “The dominant are everyone who is left. So do the subtraction. That’s only one group. You know who they are and so does Stacey Abrams.”
“
She said ‘these people,’ these unnamed people, are responsible for the suffering of everyone else,” he continued, before claiming she wants to “overthrow” those (white) people because “she uses the language of violence and war to describe what must come next.”
Carlson quoted Abrams as having written before that “Politics is the most effective method of revolt,” which for most people would sound like she is essentially saying that one should vote if they want to change things, but not for Tucker. For Tucker, that is her calling for people to get hurt.
“Revolt. People get hurt in revolts. That’s the nature of revolts. Stacey Abrams knows that. She wants one anyway—she doesn't hide it," Tucker told his audience.
After saying that Abrams is “inventing a common enemy that everyone can oppose," Carlson had the audacity to compare her to “Democrats in the Jim Crow south.”
I shit you not.
Then again, nothing sounds like a Democrat in the Jim Crow south than wanting every American to have the right to vote.
