In a clip, Stacey Abrams discusses raising $40 million for her 2018 gubernatorial race and using it to build a permanent voting infrastructure through organizations like Fair Fight and New Georgia Project. She describes Governor Brian Kemp as a "galvanizing force" for her efforts. The hosts remain skeptical of her claim that she is responsible for 2 million voters showing up.
A retrospective on the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race highlights Stacey Abrams's refusal to concede to Brian Kemp, citing voter suppression. The race featured high-profile endorsements from Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama. The hosts contrast Abrams's 2018 stance of "count every vote" with the 2020 media narrative of "stop the count" once Biden took a slim lead.
The hosts play a "racist and anti-semitic" robocall from the 2018 election that featured a man impersonating Oprah Winfrey. They compare the absurdity of the call to the "hateful video" narrative used during the Benghazi investigation. They suggest such "false flag" tactics are often used to smear the opposition and create a narrative of victimhood.
NPR's Ailsa Chang and Maya King discuss how the 2018 election fueled the 2020 surge in Georgia. They repeat the claim that Stacey Abrams registered 800,000 voters after her loss. The hosts debunk this as "horse crap," noting that it would mean she registered one-fifth of the entire state's electorate in two years while having almost no YouTube presence.
Rapper Killer Mike faces criticism for meeting with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to discuss trade schools and human trafficking. Critics argue the meeting was a betrayal of Stacey Abrams, but Killer Mike defends his actions as "doing the work" of a taxpayer and business owner. The hosts argue that the Democratic establishment "sacrifices" Black men who attempt to work across the aisle for community benefits.
