Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) and professional grievance-monger Stacey Abrams. One key moment came when Kemp touted the endorsement he has received from 107 of Georgia\u2019s 159 sheriffs. Abrams replied with a statement that should dispel any doubt that she\u2019s anything other than a far-left radical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo no, I don\u2019t have 107 sheriffs who want to be able to take black people off the streets, who want to be able to go without accountability,\u201d she said with a straight face.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Disgusting\u2026 \u201cdefund the police\u201d Stacey Abrams think very little of law enforcement in GA<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrianKempGA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@BrianKempGA<\/a> proudly touts the support of 107 GA sheriffs &#038; Abrams claims it\u2019s because of race<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo no I don\u2019t have 107 sheriffs who want to be able to take black people of the streets.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1ZpTIeNqsa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/1ZpTIeNqsa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jesse Hunt (@JJHunt10) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JJHunt10\/status\/1586863576899264513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">October 30, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, a shade over two-thirds of Georgia\u2019s sheriffs are racists because they know that Kemp\u2019s policies are better on crime and more supportive of law enforcement.

She has a long history of talking out of both sides of her mouth when it comes to law enforcement. She has claimed to support police and even talked about raises for police officers on the campaign trail, but she\u2019s willing to align herself with groups and individuals who want not only to defund but also abolish police and prisons.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a class=\"search-item-link\" href=\"https:\/\/pjmedia.com\/columns\/chris-queen\/2022\/10\/24\/another-embarrassing-weekend-for-stacey-abrams-n1639443\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"search-title\">Stacey Abrams\u2019 Bizarre Stunt at a Lizzo Concert Shows How Desperate She Is<\/span><br \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Abrams was named chair of the Black Voices for Black Justice Fund (BVBJ), an organization that gives grants to radical racial activists, including those who want to abolish the police and let all criminals out of prison.
