I'm going to repeat this because it's important: Abrams sits on the board of the largest Democratic SuperPAC in the country. Fair Fight took $5 million from Michael Bloomberg. Abrams said she opposes "class warfare" because "I want to be wealthy."

She saved the DNC, not America. https://twitter.com/BenJealous/status/1346656352966488065
In addition to the above as well as her position on the Board at the Center for American Progress, here's a good piece by @BMarchetich on Stacey Abrams' record in Georgia politics. She's not turning Georgia blue. She's turning the DNC green.

And they love Stacey Abrams.
