BUCK: Stacey Abrams compares herself to… Oh, you gotta hear this one. Play it.
ABRAMS: We are a stronger nation when we allow people to participate, and if we ever doubted that, the war that Putin is waging against Ukraine, President Zelensky says — I’m gonna paraphrase him, probably poorly — this isn’t a war on Ukraine; this is a war on democracy in Ukraine. When we allow democracy to be overtaken by those who want to choose who can be heard and those choices are not based on anything other than animus or inconvenience, then that is wrong. My mission is to make certain that everyone can cast a ballot, even people who don’t like me, especially those folks. They should be able to go and cast their ballots. My job is to make sure that more people who like me show up, but that’s campaigning. That’s not voting rights.
BUCK: So Ukraine and Stacey Abrams’s fight are the same fight?
CLAY: Worth mentioning.
BUCK: Take that one for me, Clay.
CLAY: Worth mentioning that Stacey Abrams still — still — has not conceded from the 2018 governor’s race. So she is still fighting at a battle while simultaneously trying to accuse others of not respecting the will of Democrats and Republicans and independents out there. And, by the way, I think she’s gonna get crushed in Georgia in ’22. You start to look at some of those numbers…
We’re not even sure who the Republican nominee officially is gonna be, either Kemp or Perdue. They’re battling it out right now for that nomination. I think she’s gonna get absolutely destroyed, and is she still gonna be the patron saint when she loses badly in Georgia again? Is she going to concede this time, or is she gonna be done for? I just hope she finallylets those kids take their masks off like she did for those photos.
