Why do they come for Stacey Abrams when they know damn well they aren't ready?

Jaime Harrison, DNC Chair @harrisonjaime
I don’t know why folks try to come for @staceyabrams when they know damn well that they aren’t ready.

In terms of her intellect, experience, & knowledge of voting rights ... Cruz, Cotton, Kennedy and Graham aren’t qualified to carry her books let alone debate what is in them.

Amen.

13. Put TAPE over his mouth. He is horribly rude. She can answer if he would just STHU

7. The rules have changed, and Senator Kennedy hasn't kept up

It's not longer enough for a White man to peremptorily dismiss things. Other people get to have input now, too. And Stacey Abrams is more than a match for Kennedy and shows it here. Kennedy is left stammering, "I get the idea, I get the idea," when he so clearly doesn't get anything, except that he just got chumped.

8. As a collective group these southern Senators are morons

Perdue wouldn't even debate Ossoff because there had to be a 50 point spread in IQ. I am not sure how Hyde-Smith breathes because she is so stupid (I so much wish that my old debate partner who grew up in Mississippi would move back and run against her - he is a lot like Ossoff as well as being a millionaire publisher. He was somewhat liberal in high school, and he at least has a global perspective now. I know he has given to several Democrats over the years. He hasn't lived in Mississippi in 35 years though.

Don't get me started on Tuberville.

9. Damn she is even more awesome then I thought

The old tired white duds need to be replaced.

[JHB]

10. Because the people this performance is for don't care what Abrams says

She might as well be making trombone sounds like an adult in a Charlie Brown cartoon.

They do this for the brief clip where they're decisively putting the loud nasty crazy black woman in here place. That's all their intended audience will see.

15. Exactly

All these posts and tweets about such and such right-winger getting owned are nonsense. If they actually got owned they would shut the fuck up or change their tune for once but they never do.
Because, as you said, their audience is right-wing trogs.

11. It's not so much messing with her as it is the message

to their base. Messaging their base to keep them all het up is paramount to keeping them stupid.

[Iggo]

12. Because they get plus points for attacking a black woman.

It ain't rocket surgery.
