Republican David Perdue isn’t gonna win the Republican primary for Governor….
If he did….
His comment above would assure him lossing the election…
The iconic Abrams made a comment that Georgia is the worst place to live…
(This is her second run for Governor in a state that now has two Democratic US Senators)
She was talking about the state’s ranking on several issues due to Republican state leadership…
The GOP efforts to cut the number of people who can vote seems to have failed also….
And his playing the race card in a state with 1/3 of population being Black might be good for a Republican primary, but NOT for the general election …
“She said that Georgia is the worst place in the country to live,” Perdue said. “Hey, she ain’t from here. Let her go back where she came from if she doesn’t like it here.”
Abrams, who served in the Georgia House of Representatives for a decade, moved to Georgia in high school and has lived there for most of her life.
Perdue was referring to statements Abrams made Saturday during a fundraising dinner, in which she referred to the state’s poor ranking in multiple issues, including incarceration, mental health and maternal mortality rates.
“I am tired of hearing about being the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live,” Abrams said, per NBC News. “When you’re number 48 for mental health, when you’re number one for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that’s on the rise and wages that are on the decline, then you are not the number one place to live in the United States.”…

I’m surprised Perdue didn’t call her “uppity”.
Stacy Abrams is wrong though.
. Georgia will never be the worst state to live in as long as Alabama and Mississippi are in the union. Both deep red states that Perdue and other Republicans would like to see Georgia emulate.

There’s Atlanta and Savannah and then the rest of Georgia.
Sort of like S.C.
There’s Charleston then the rest of the state.

Ok
Jack said it better

He also told her to go back to where she came from and in Chicago we always knew what that means.
She has already apologized by saying it came out wrong as she meant to reference economic development.
Perdue only plays a cracker for his audience.
14 children dead in Texas at the hand of one shooter. Did he listen to Tucker Carlson too?
