A campaign strategy that suggests the state you would like to be in is to say it really stinks. But that’s the latest statement from liberal Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Yet you wouldn’t know it if you watched ABC. Good Morning AmericaOn Tuesday, ABC hid this gaffe. ABC didn’t cover it. CBS Mornings and NBC’s Today,The weekend’s perplexing remarks were however addressed.
On NBC’sToday, Blayne Alexander explained, “On the Democratic side, nominee Stacey Abrams drawing Republican criticism over the weekend for these remarks.” Here’s Abrams:
It is tiresome to hear about the nation’s best place to work, when in reality we are one of the most dangerous places to be. When you’re 48 for mental health, when you’re number one for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that’s on the rise and wages that are on decline.
Abrams added, “You’re not the number one place to live! “ On CBS Mornings, reporter Ed O’Keefe highlighted a Republican challenger “turning his focus to the unopposed Democratic candidate for governor, Stacey Abrams, and these comments she made last weekend.” He then played the same clip.
By contrast, ABC hasn’t featured the comments from Saturday. This, despite GMAShe was mentioned three times Tuesday. ABC reporter Steve Osunsami said of the Republican primary: “The winner will face Democrat Stacey Abrams in November.”
Later in the show, co-host George Stephanopoulos blandly repeated, “In Georgia, the governor’s race is a test of former President Trump’s influence in the Republican Party. The winner is going to face Stacey Abrams in November.”
The hosts were back in December 2021. GMA touted Abrams’s children’s book and hailed the Democrat as a “major voting rights advocate.” In February of 2022, ABC ignored her maskless hypocrisy, speaking to third graders who were forced to wear a mask. In 2019, Abrams appeared on ABC and the network indulged her election conspiracy theories as the failed gubernatorial candidate claimed “we won” in 2018. (She did not.)

STACEY ABRAMS – I get tired of being told that we’re the best place to start a business in America, when in fact we are the most miserable state to live in. When you’re 48 for mental health, when you’re number one for maternal mortality, then you’re not the number one place to live!
