So David Perdue! You think "Stacey Abrams should go back to where she from"?

[imanamerican63]

Well, how about you growing a set of balls and shut the hell up! She was born in Wisconsin, moved to Alabama and then moved to Georgia, where she has lived most of life. She is more than qualified to be governor no matter where she is from! Your dog whistle just doesn’t cut it in the real world. She is a Yale graduate and you are a chicken farm owner(implying this to his followers)! So, now since you’re going to lose your bid for governor? You can go feed your chickens all of your nonsense garbage to them! Because you’re a loser!

7. No link. but....

Abrams at a campaign rally cited statistics about how low Georgia ranks on a lot of quality of life factors like maternal mortality, mental health assistance, etc. Perdue — on a talk show hosted by PETER NAVARRO of all people — took that and twisted it totally out of context, making it sound like this was Abrams’ opinions only, and implied that African-Americans had it pretty good in Georgia. If Abrams didn’t agree, well, she was free to “go back to where she came from.”

Way Too Early with Jonathan Lemire had the clips. I haven’t heard Perdue speak much, but he gave me the vibe of being an unapologetic racist. I understand he’s trailing Kemp badly, so I hope that holds.

In a perfect world these dimwits would be hoisted on their own petards with all the shit they say that’s easily fact-checked. And don’t get me started on ignorant voters.

10. Here's one link

Here's Stacy's quote that got the Republicant's knickers in a twist: "When you’re No. 48 for mental health, when you’re No. 1 for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that’s on the rise and wages that are on the decline, then you are not the No. 1 place to live.”

12. that is not the part they are freaking out on

this is:

Stacey Abrams called Georgia “the worst state in the country to live” citing issues like incarceration, mental health. Via
@ReporterBlayne

Abrams: “I am tired of hearing about being the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live.“

20. She wants to improve quality of life. Kemp does not

We can win on this messaging.

[Celerity]

22. yes, of course, that is a given, but that is not germane to my reply

[CurtEastPoint]

2. He's not related to or with Perdue Chicken. But he's still a huge fucking asshole.

[imanamerican63]

5. My bad, but he is a chicken $h!t and needs feed his crap to the chickens!

[RicROC]

15. Perdue must be eating the same grain from China that

his chickens are eating. Arsenic will do crazy things to the mind.

[Wednesdays]

18. Perdue chicken is pretty good FWIW

They're antibiotic-free and organic. Taste is excellent, too. We get it all the time at Costco. I'd buy Perdue over Tyson any day.

[PXR-5]

3. Hmm, Dr. Oz is not from PA

Yet Repugs don't seem to care.

Wat up wit dat!?

[spooky3]

4. He's not related to the Perdue chicken folks.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Perdue

He made his money outsourcing jobs and taking golden parachutes.

[imanamerican63]

6. See #5!

[spooky3]

13. Couldn't agree more ! :-)

[IronLionZion]

21. He's made his career on closing down plants in Georgia

to shift those jobs to China. That needs to be a bigger issue since America First GOP claims to like jobs and hate China.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. From what I thought I heard yesterday

Perdue was "losing to" Kemp in the primary (in polls I guess although I know early voting was underway and I think today is election day there), so apparently he needed to get some free "media attention to appeal to the KKK loons.

[Victor_c3]

9. Republicans are generally fine with that

Ted Cruz, one of their favorite politicians was born in Canada and they’re perfectly happy with him meddling in the affairs of Texas and the Unites States.

[Meadowoak]

11. It's a dog whistle, he's saying Abrams should go back to Africa.

[Diamond_Dog]

14. That's what I thought, too

Been hearing that line from his ilk for decades.

[IronLionZion]

16. She can replace Kemp for Governor of Georgia

as an American born and raised US citizen I know for a fact they don't give a shit where I was born and raised and hold citizenship. I'm stealing jobs simply because I'm brown and they feel whites should have these jobs.

Even if it's the old Southern "you're not from around here" as in she's not from Georgia. That state is full of transplants from elsewhere in America who are legally registered to vote. Hoping for good turnout from Dems.

[Botany]

17. As noted in the O.P. she is from Wisconsin, Mississippi, Georgia, and Connecticut.

And she would be Governor of Georgia now if Brian Kemp wasn't Sec. of State and screwed with the
vote in 2018.

Early life and education

The second of six siblings, Abrams was born to Robert and Carolyn Abrams in Madison, Wisconsin, and raised in Gulfport, Mississippi.[10][11] In 1989,[12] the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where her parents pursued graduate degrees at Emory University[13] and later became Methodist ministers.[14][15] She attended Avondale High School, graduating as valedictorian,[16] and where she was selected for a Telluride Association Summer Program.[17] While in high school, she was hired as a typist for a congressional campaign, and at age 17, she was hired as a speechwriter based on the edits she had made while typing.[17]

In 1995, Abrams earned a Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary studies (political science, economics, and sociology) from Spelman College, magna cum laude.[2] While in college, she worked in the youth services department in the office of Atlanta mayor Maynard Jackson.[17] She later interned at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.[17] As a freshman in 1992, Abrams took part in a protest on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, during which she joined in burning the state flag. At that time, Georgia's state flag incorporated the Confederate battle flag, which had been added to the state flag in 1956 as an anti-civil rights movement action.[18][19][20]

As a Harry S. Truman Scholar, Abrams studied public policy at the University of Texas at Austin's LBJ School of Public Affairs, where she earned a Master of Public Affairs degree in 1998. In 1999, she earned a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School.[2]

23. Says the man who primaried his own Governor

How welcome are YOU in your own state, Mr. Perdue? Are you tired of being Chump's errand boy now?

You can never live this down, you LOSER. Now go home, sit down, and STFU!
