  1. she deserves respect, she's the granddaughter of the great Sitting Bull himself. 😊

  2. Ask yourselves this, if democrats actually believed masks protected them, why are they continually seen without them? These are the most protected, pampered and self-absorbed egomaniacs on Earth. They spend millions every year on armed protection to ensure their safety. Do you really think if there was the slightest chance of them catching covid from the "unwashed masses" they'd even spend a single second among them, let alone without a mask?

  3. She needs to lose 100 lbs

  4. They are all criminals and fakes… media is only worried they are not faking good enough

  5. All her political life she was wearing a mask… why double mask

  6. She apoligizes in her tweet … FOR TAKING THE PHOTO . Truly hilarious.

  7. Is this what you all call woke. Numerous photos of her not in masks….whites only. Utterly disgraceful.

  8. she Cant Understand Normal Thinking

  9. Is anyone surprised she used racism to defend herself.

  10. Why does Stacey Abrams hate children? She is clearly unfit for any public office!!!

  11. Sure it's a mistake when she does it! When you preach it all day long!

  12. Stacey Abrams Is a joke just like a lot of these other Democrats that choose not to wear their mask set the example I’m Stacy Abrams I don’t have to wear a mask I’m special Derrrrrrrrrrrrr

  13. Citizens have been arrested, jailed, businesses closed, government services refused for doing
    the exact same thing. I know, I know, us little people are held to a strict compliance or fear the wrath of consequences

  14. Oh, thought that was a photo of jabba the hutt, thanks for clarifying.

  15. Rules for thee but not for me! But! Is there a reason that there are only 7 Blacks kids and 33 White kids and all the Black kids are in the back? Me thinks there is some serious systemic racism going on here in the Stacy Abrahms camp. I think even the little girl in the green mask has it right as she flips off the 58,000 vote loser.

  16. Its a good thing all those kids wore masks to protect Stacey now she doesnt have to live in fear.

  17. It’s kindof cool knowing that when people vote for that Stacy Abrams they aren’t voting for someone that would be good for America or Georgians, they are voting for her to ruin things for the regular happy folk… sad…

  18. It was so sad to watch Abrams sit there not wearing a mask and endangering the lives of those innocent children.

  19. I may be mistaken, perhaps someone knows for sure but didn’t Stacy play nosegaurd for the 2006 bulldogs?

  20. Dems keep making rules for you and me…..but they are above the law. From the child molester down, they have run amuk…..

  21. Many photos out. Not just one. This has been going on month after month, by many so-called democrat leaders. We see it, we as independents, do not believe it.

  22. Who is more at risk for Covid? An obese middle aged woman or healthy schoolchildren? Disgusting.

  23. Hey Stacey why delete the photo when you did nothing wrong haha.. what a hypocrite.

  24. The real question is: did she eat the children? 😱

  25. Just give her a mask she'll take it

  26. Rules for the not for me. Shes the single most unhealthy politician. Shes more high risk than anyone.

  27. Reports show she spent the entire day unmasked.

    Shamelessly playing the race card to try to hide her guilt.

    This is the modern democrat for you.

  28. Hypocrisy has become the Dems theme. Way past time to let kids be kids and be free. Luckily I live in a "Red" state and our kids have been maskless for months with no more cases than 'Blue' states. In fact according to 'Worldmeters' our state is one of the least affected based on cases per million.
