Democrat candidate for
Governor of Georgia is basing her campaign on the Climate Change hoax and the
Obama Agenda. Stacy Abrams is using the delusional Democrat playbook. Her
policies would sabotage the Georgia economy. She wants rural Georgia to go
bankrupt making solar panels that have no customers. She wants to increase the cost of electricity
in Georgia. She prefers open borders, illegals voting and Obamacare forever.
She mismanages her own finances.
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE CRITICIZES
AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY, SUGGESTS WORKERS TRANSITION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY INSTEAD, by
Jason Hopkins, 10/18/18, Daily Caller.
Democratic candidate for Georgia
governor Stacey Abrams suggested the agriculture and hospitality industries
weren’t worth working in, adding that the renewable energy industry is a better
sector.
The line drew backlash from
critics and her Republican opponent, Georgia Secretary of State Brian
Kemp.
Abrams’s campaign has hit back,
saying Kemp’s comments are “absurdly misleading.”
The
Democratic nominee in Georgia’s gubernatorial election had to walk back
comments that suggested the agriculture and hospitality industries weren’t
worth working in.
The
controversy began when Stacey Abrams was giving a speech at Georgia
Southern University as part of her “We Are Georgia” bus tour.
“I
want to create a lot of different jobs because people shouldn’t have to go into
agriculture or hospitality to make a living in Georgia. Why not create
renewable energy jobs because — I’m going to tell ya’ll a secret — climate
change is real,” Abrams said Tuesday at the campaign rally.
Throughout
the campaign, Abrams has been a big proponent of solar and wind energy, and has made fighting
climate change a part of her campaign platform. The Democratic candidate went
on to claim in her Tuesday speech that the state could create 25,000 to 45,000
“good paying” jobs if renewable energy industry is recognized as “not
only the future,” but also as “the now.”
The
insinuation that agriculture wasn’t worth working in drew backlash from her
critics. Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is the Republican nominee
in the election, suggested her comments were “hurtful” and an
indication that she was spending too much time with her “socialist backers in
San Francisco.”
Political
pundits believe an insult against agriculture — which is the biggest industry
in the Peach State — could badly hurt Abrams’ prospects in rural communities.
“The
Kemp strategy is very obvious that they want to build up their base of support outside of Atlanta and most of that is agriculture
communities. So for her to insult the agriculture community just sounds very
weird and tone deaf,” Erick Erickson, a radio talk show host in Georgia and
editor of The Resurgent, said to The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“The
whole idea that she thinks the governor should have the power to create new
industries is really what people — I think — should focus on,” Erickson
continued. “Georgia has been one for the fastest growing states because
government has gotten out of the way and let the private sector operate, and
she clearly wants to undermine what has made Georgia as successful as it has
been. Let alone, the agriculture industry is the biggest sector of the economy in Georgia.”
Abrams
has since walked back her comments, stating that she wants to diversify the state’s
economy and raise wages across the board, calling agriculture a vital sector of
the economy. Her campaign on Thursday flipped the issue back on Kemp, calling
his attacks “assuredly misleading.”
“It
is clear that Brian Kemp’s go-to tactic has become lying about Stacey
Abrams’ bold plans and detailed policy proposals in order to cover up the fact
that he has none of his own,” Abrams spokeswoman Abigail Collazo said in a
statement.
This
isn’t the first time the Georgia Democrat has made eyebrow-raising comments
while on the campaign trail. Abrams said on Oct. 9 that the Democratic “blue
wave” would be made up of documented and undocumented people, a sentence that
suggests illegal aliens would be voting on Election Day.
Abrams
said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that areas such as Albany, southwest
Georgia and “Glasgow County” have been hit hard by Hurricane Michael. However,
there is no Glasgow County in the state of Georgia.
