JOIN SANDRA SMITH AND ME AT THE
TOP OF THE HOUR FOR AMERICA
REPORTS.
SEE YOU THEN.
>> THE LAST TIME STACEY ABRAMS
RAN FOR GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA HER
PERSONAL FINANCES WERE A MASS
BID SHE INSISTED JUST BECAUSE
SHE WAS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS IN DEBT BECAUSE OF
STUDENT LOANS, CREDIT CARD DEBT,
AND BACK TAXES, IT SHOULD NOT BE
HELD AGAINST HER.
STILL, SHE LOST THE RACE.
NOW, LESS THAN FOUR YEARS LATER,
HER FORTUNES HAVE CHANGED BIG
TIME.
ABRAMS JUST DISCLOSED THAT SHE
IS WORTH MORE THAN $3 MILLION.
BRETT, IT DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN
THIS WAY.
YOU RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE,
YOU END UP MAKING MORE MONEY.
HOWEVER, I WOULD NOTE THIS IS
MUCH DIFFERENT IN THAT SHE’S NOT
IN PUBLIC OFFICE.
SHE DID THIS ON HER OWN TIME AS
A PRIVATE CITIZEN.
>> SURE.
I THINK THERE’S TWO PIECES OF
HYPOCRISY HERE.
ONE IS THAT SHE GOT A LOT OF
SUCCESS BY REFUSING TO CONCEDE
THE GOVERNOR’S RACE BACK IN
2018.
THEN OBVIOUSLY DEMOCRATS
LAMBASTE.
ANY TRUMP REPUBLICAN THE BRINGS
UP CONCERNS ABOUT ELECTIONS.
SHE SPENT A LOT OF TIME MAKING
SUCCESS OFF OF THAT.
HOWEVER,, ON THE FLIP SIDE THERE
IS HYPOCRISY THAT REPUBLICANS
CAN’T LAMBASTE SOMEBODY FOR
SUCCESS, GIVING SPEECHES,
WRITING BOOKS, MAKING
$5 MILLION.
THEN TURN AROUND AND SAY YOU
CAN’T TAX THOSE FOLKS AT
EXORBITANT AMOUNTS.
YOU CAN’T DO THIS.
YOU CAN’T HURT SUCCESS.
SO SHE IS DOING AT THE AMERICAN
WAY, IT’S JUST THAT SHE’S DONE
IT ON A PLATFORM OF REFUSING TO
CONCEDE.
AT LEAST IN THE BEGINNING.
>> I THINK THAT’S A GREAT POINT,
EMILY.
>> THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE
FEDERALIST SOCIETY HAS ARGUED IN
AN ARTICLE I PUBLISHED WHERE
SAID THE REASON SHE ALL OF A
SUDDEN MADE $6 MILLION WITHIN
FOUR YEARS OF BEING $400,000 IN
DEBT IS BECAUSE IT CENTERED ON
THIS BOGUS CONCEPT THAT SHE HAS
TURNED INTO A CELEBRITY STATUS
PAIR CHEATS A BODY OF WORK SHE’S
CREATED HAS BEEN DEPOSITED ON
THE FACT THAT SHE CALLED THAT
ELECTION PAINTED, AND THAT IT
WAS RESULTED IN THE
DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF THOUSANDS
OF VOTERS.
SO ESSENTIALLY BECAUSE SHE HAS
CRIED ELECTION FRAUD THAT HAS
ALL OF A SUDDEN TURNED HER INTO
A FIGUREHEAD WORTH MILLIONS BEAR
THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT IT’S
BASED ON A FALSE PREMISE.
>> , BY ALL MEANS -- I’M ALL FOR
GOING TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND
MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU CAN.
IT’S THE AMERICAN DREAM, THAT’S
CAPITALISM.
MY PROBLEM FALLS WITH THIS
FLASHBACK.
THEY SAID THIS, LAST WEEK
FLASHBACK TO THE MLB ALL-STAR
GAME.
WE ALL REMEMBER THIS.
LAST WEEK IT WAS REPORTED THAT
STACEY ABRAMS POLITICAL ACTION
COMMITTEE HAS EARNED OVER
100 MILLION INNER GUBERNATORIAL
RACE.
INCIDENTALLY, GEORGIANS LOST
100 MILLION WHEN THE MLB MOVED
THERE ALL-STAR GAME.
STACEY ABRAMS HAS POCKETED TO
PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
>> WELCOME A LOOK, REALLY
INTERESTING ABOUT THAT IS THE
FACT THAT SHE MISSED IT ON SO
MANY ACCOUNTS.
THOSE ARE MOSTLY BLACK-OWNED
BUSINESSES THAT GOT CRUSHED BY
THE MLB GOING TO COLORADO.
YOU DID SEE HER SORT OF CLEANUP
ON AISLE FIVE WITH WELL, AFTER
THE BOYCOTT THAT SHE CALLED FOR
MAYBE THAT WASN’T THE RIGHT
THING TO DO.
WELL IT WAS TOO LATE THEN.
BY THE WAY, SHE WAS WRONG ON
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
IT TURNED OUT THAT COLORADO’S
ELECTION LAWS ARE MUCH MORE
STRICT THAN THOSE IN GEORGIA.
SHE BOOTED THE ALL-STAR GAME AND
LET IT TAKE ALL OF ITS MILLIONS.
WHAT WAS IT?
100 MILLION?
TOOK THAT TO ANOTHER CITY IN
COLORADO AND THEN NOTHING WAS
REPLENISHED IN HER OWN HOME
STATE IN GEORGIA.
I DON’T KNOW IF HER PACK WRITES
A CHECK TO THE CITIZENS FOR
EVERYTHING A LOT THEY LOST, I
THINK THAT 100 MILLION FALLS
SHORT.
SOME OF THOSE BUSINESSES DID NOT
SURVIVE. >> YOU CANNOT REPAY PEOPLE FOR
>> YOU CANNOT REPAY PEOPLE FOR
SOMETHING THAT’S NOT THERE.
I DO KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN
WHICH THIS HAPPENED.
LIES, THE LANDSCAPE OF LIVES
WERE CHANGED.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR HER SPEAK
ON THAT.
I DON’T SEE THAT AS A TOPIC.
BUT MAYBE THERE IS MORE THAT SHE
CAN DO TO HELP THOSE PRIVATE
BUSINESSES THAT SHE HARMED.
WHETHER SHE MEANT DEAD OR NOT.
>> JUST LIKE STACEY ABRAMS --
HER SLOGANEERING, WHICH CAN BE
INCREDIBLY HURTFUL.
I DO NOT BEGRUDGE HER HER
PRIVATE WEALTH.
I AGREE THE TAXATION IS THEFT
AND I DON’T THINK SHE SHOULD BE
OVERTAXED RIGHT OUT.
YOU THINK SHE MADE A LOT OF
MONEY WHEN SHE LOST THE GOVERN
GOVERNORSHIP HERE JUST WAIT TILL
SHE LOSES AGAIN.
SHE’S GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH
MONEY SHE IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO
BUY AMAZON.
>> I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE A
FASCINATING RACE DOWN THERE.
REMEMBER THE REPUBLICAN CLUB
PRIMARY IN GEORGIA BETWEEN
DAVID PERDUE AND CURRENT GOVERNOR RYAN CAMP HERE THAT’S
GOVERNOR RYAN CAMP HERE THAT’S
GOING TO BE A BARN BURNER.
AND SO SHE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE.
