Abrams is right: For many, Georgia is one of the worst states to live in. (via TheReidOut Blog)
Abrams, the Democrats’
presumptive nominee to face off against Kemp for the governorship this fall, made her declaration during a fundraiser in Georgia on Saturday. And although she predicted her words would be taken out of context and used against her, she was quite clear about the things Kemp has done to make her state a demonstrably bad place to call home.
“I am tired of hearing about how we’re the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live,” Abrams said, according to“Let me contextualize,” she added. “When you’re No. 48 for mental health, when we’re No. 1 for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that is on the rise and wages are on the decline, then you are not the No. 1 place to live.
She went on to say: “Georgia is capable of greatness, but we need greatness to be in our governor’s office. We need someone who actually believes in bringing all of us in there together.” It didn’t take long for Republicans, including Kemp, to do just as Abrams predicted and condemn her remarks:Whining aside, all it takes is a quick Google search to confirm Abrams was accurate in her depiction of her state.
