Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) made some harsh comments to the Gwinnett Daily Post about her home state that Republicans quickly jumped to exploit.
Said Abrams: “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.”
She added: “Let me contextualize. 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.”
Atlanta Journal Constitution: “Though she quickly clarified that she meant she wanted to diversify the economy, Republican Brian Kemp and his allies leveraged the misstep to energize rural voters.”
