I'm quoted in this AJC article about Stacey Abrams involvement in burning a Ga flag when she was a college student. The quote is accurate, but it was edited for space. @bluestein's question was "Do you think it fires up her supporters more?" My full... 1/2

response: "Honestly, it's likely to fire up both sides to a point, but I also think it's mostly a dead issue now. Remember, at the time the state flag issue was big - from Zell in the 80s thru the 90s - was when a LOT of politicians were shuffling between parties & many of- " 2/3
- of them obviously voted to change flag. While some voters (mostly older white Sons-of-Confederate-Veterans types) will key on it, I'll bet that most of the older politicians want to avoid it & frankly, as I said, it's a done deal."
FOR THE RECORD: I stand with @staceyabrams 3/4

The timing of the photo release, on the day before the debate, is OBVIOUSLY an attempt by Kemp supporters to divide Georgians along racial lines. This is typical of the #PartyOfTrump. DON'T FALL FOR IT. @staceyabrams is THE BEST candidate for governor. 4/4 #VoteBlue 🌊🍑🇺🇸
As a Georgia resident & voter, THIS👇🏽is a helluva lot more important to me & my family than a photo of Stacey Abrams, as a college student, exercising her 1st Amendment right to protest a symbol of pro-slavery. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho 🌊🍑🇺🇸
