republicans launching the stop stacy campaign, quote, we will do whatever it takes to expose stacy abrams'shting her dangerous agenda and defeat her and her left-wing candidates at the ballot box, we must stand up, fight back and stop stacy. what is your response and what is your opinion of what she has done in georgia? >> awards and rewards follow the powers that be, the human powers that be so whoever is in authority are in control will want to give accolades and awards to people who think the way that they think. we know this is the case with stacy abrams as well. my only concern is this. she is a notable personality and popular in many areas. however, she is an abortion champion. martin luther king jr. did not support abortion. it is a threat to justice everywhere. that little person in the womb should have human rights and human dignity and civil rights. stacy does not agree with that so it is not a peaceful act to abort little babies for example and yet they want to compare stacy to martin luther king jr.. i believe that comparison is unfounded. todd: led to get more to that compariso

you can't talk about georgia without talking about stacy abrams she's credit with organizing political strategy and blasting through decades of voter suppression tactics to get georgia's black population to the polls georgia going for biden and changing the balance of the senate is seen as a miracle but when you dig deeper really wasn't a recent article in the nation outlined for reasons why georgia turned believe in the ingredients other states need to do the same favorable to reign level 5 leaders strong civic engagement organizations and out of the. georgia's population demographics were right obama lost the peach state in 2008 by 205000 votes and nearly 1000000 eligible people of color never cast a ballot in the 1st place the increase in the number of voters of color casting ballots change the trajectory and 2020. and who you won matters. stacy abrams ran a historic campaign for governor and even though she lost her race put georgia in the national spotlight fast forward to 2020 both john office and reverend raphael warnock the 1st jewish senator from georgia and the 1st black sena

let's talk about stacy abrams.ays there is a disease of racism embedded in the veins of america. leo, what do you think? >> thank you very much. i'm more qualified to speak on this subject than stacey abrams. there is no systemic discrimination in this country. that's the democratic talking point. stacy abrams is lying to america. they use the race card as a talking point to intel date. we are in the most open and diverse party all times thanks to donald trump. where is the systemic racism at? what department? who is the big bogeyman. it's a big lie and i'm sick of it. judge jeanine: how does she benefit from this? >> all democrats benefit from the victimhood narrative. they have to remind you that you are a victim and somebody is out to get you. that's how they maintain that control. by keeping people in their place and making them feel like they have a chip on their shoulders and always irked. look what she was able to do in georgia. i have to give credit where credit is due. but if there was a disease of systemi

for katie saying that 2016 was invalid or what stacy abrams did in for governor, she didn't call anybody up and pressure them like a mob boss. she didn't do that. democrats didn't do that. questioning an election is something that happens. what stacy abrams said, we'll do better next time and we want to make sure there's no voter roll purging, et cetera. but they're not comparative. i thought this defense was weak using elizabeth warren saying we're going to fight for a higher minimum wage. that's not telling people to march down to the capitol when you know they're armed and angry -- >> martha: jessica, you can't tell me that it doesn't give you a moment of pause when you watch that video -- all of this is rhetorical at this point. both sides are pointing to the other and saying you did the same thing we did. when she says he knows he's an illegitimate president, a number of factors that know that let him to being i'll legitimate. and stacy abrams unable to say she lost the election to brian kemp and saying there was voter suppression in georgia when they had a higher voter turnout in t

has anybody seen a mob wearing stacy abram's hats, bludgeoning police on the state house steps with georgia flags? no, you haven't. why? because it's just another lie, another lie targeting a person of color. >> i'll briefly say the defense counsels put a lot of videos out in their -- in their defense, playing clip after clip of black women talking about fighting for a cause or an issue or a policy. it was not lost on me so many of them were people of color and women, black women, black women like myself who are sick and tired of being sick and tired for our children. i thought we were passed that. i think maybe we're not. >> like i said, and there's more. so they tell you that democrats are re-creating the former president's tweets. okay. they have to. why? because he has been banned from twitter. those tweets don't exist anymore and there's no timeline to get those tweets and they have to be re-created. this is just beyond belief. >> house manager swalwell showed you this tweet this week and emphasized this tweet reflect add call to arms and he told you repeatedly a promise to call in the

. >> the next step for human life is to send stacy abrams up there to turn it blue, you can do it, you turn anything whether you, girl but let's move on now to our top story. covid may not be gone yet. but our patience for it definitely is. >> so as the vaccine rollout conditions, america is figuring out how to reopen its schools. and that heated debate is the topic of our brand mu segment, getting back to normallish. >> . >> one of the bigger tragedies of the coronavirus pandemic has been the school closings that have forced nearly all american students into online classes. and it impacts everyone. students, teachers, patients, next door neighbors who can hear your zoo school through the wall while they're trying to record a tv show! and after nearly a year of remote learning president biden has made reopening schools one of his top priorities. sort of. >> president biden promised to have schools reopened in his first 100 days. >> i think it's time for school to reopen safely. >> but the white house is struggling to explain what they mean by schools being opened. >> the cdc rolled out

this is stacy abram's place. >> the birthplace of stank on you. >> let jimmy drive you to the state linereal trouble starts. >> trouble don't bother, i will see myself out. hey, what happened to y'all, anyway? georgia's changed! >> yeah, and science is real and love is love. tell me something we don't know, sucker! >> joining us now is tia mitchell, washington correspondent for the atlanta journal constitution. good evening. >> hi. >> so, with that sketch, i thought it was funny because maybe georgia has changed? that felt like a parallel reality. i wonder what these numbers tell you. do they tell you that georgia has changed or do these numbers just reveal something about georgia politics that had not always been as apparent as it is now? >> i think the poll shows us that georgia has changed. is in the process of changing. but that poll is also just like a snap shot in time. and i think that you know, some of those democratic lawmakers and republican lawmakers, those favorablity numbers can change, you know, with different circumstances at a different time, you know, coronavirus relief

activists are looking at georgia and stacie abrams' success there. we will hear from black women activists in mississippi and alabama trying a similar strategy to make their states competitive. >>> i will talk to one of the democrats running for what could be one of the most competitive senate races in country next year. north carolina's open seat. state senator jeff jackson is here next. re next.

you've ever seen anyone at any level of government make the same claim about their own election if stacy abrams doesn't win in georgia they stole it's clear it's clear and i would say i say that publicly it's clear you can run the best campaign you can even become the nominee. and you could have the election stolen from you he knows he's an illegitimate president he knows he knows that there were a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out the way it did the votes remain to be counted there are voices that were waiting to be her and i will not concede back and i respect where you're coming from and i respect issues that you're raising you're not answering the question do you think you will or. what is not to you you're not using the word legitimate there are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections and of ensuring the principle of one person one vote i agree with tens of millions of americans who are very worried that when they cast the ballot on an electronic voting machine that there is no paper trail to record that vote but constantly shifting vote tallies i

for example, stacy abrams wrote an opinion piece and she argues now is the time for democrats to make big moves which she is defieping as defeating trump was not enough. it requires aggressive action on voting rights, partisan gerrymandering and campaign finance. do you think there's an appetite for those types of big moves and to what extent do you think that appetite is predicated on getting this first round of covid relief done in an expedient manner. >> after four years under trump, absolutely those big moves are desired. they are wanted. people are craving them. after years of depravation. i would extend the list to include things like immigration reform, food security, climate justice. everything that you can think of that people have been waiting on, they want. i think he hit the nail on the head when he says this is a big indicator point along with vaccine distribution and other ways to hold the trump administration accountable because this is where they are showing tangible impact on people's lives. this is where they are say your vote matters. your vote yielded a better outc

took us stacy abrams or latasha brown to see the humanity and the value in black rural folk as voterswho values i just as much as a black voter in atlanta put for some reason -- prioritizing netty's language over seelye as if her conversation was not valuable and she was not sophisticated in her thoughts. i wonder what you make of that -- just the -- how we continue to think about black rural women as yet another dimension of this story and the story-telling that alice walk are brings to light and puts in spotlight. >> a beautiful question. her emphasis for writing the novel was for her to have a book that -- in the voice of her mother and that's what i was saying earlier, he precursor is hurton who was able to partly tell a novel -- write a novel with that kind of speech pattern taking over the book but doesn't do it entirely. so alice from the beginning to end wants us to hear the beauty of seeley's language which is another way of saying to hear the brillens of the way in which her family spoke in it union garbage. the the genius of the novel and also as i write in the book, us a f

it took stacy abrams or latasha brown to see the humanity and value in black rural folks as voters whose value was just as much as the black voter in atlanta but for some reason it's like, even not wanting, prioritizing nettie's language overseas, that conversation you talkabout is if her conversation was not valuable and as if she was not sophisticated early in her thoughts . i wonder what you make of that, just how we continue to think about black rural women as yet another dimension of this story and the storytelling that alice walker brings to life and took to the spotlight. >> that's a beautiful question and i guess the emphasis for writing the novel was for her to have a book that echoed the voice of hermother. so that's i guess when i was saying earlier . as we now know zora neale hurston was able to partly tell on novel, or write a novel with that kind of speech pattern taking over the book but it doesn't do it entirely so alice from beginning to end wants us to hear the beauty of her language, the brilliance of the way in which her family spoke. and so i think that's part of the

you saw stacy abrams raise $24 million. campaigns need money early.y have the money, they run out of time. it's to get dollars early to the campaigns. we were carpet bombed by chuck schumer's super pac. we didn't have the resources to get up and defend ourselves. this is about getting dollars to campaigns earlier, directly to the candidates themselves so they can get their message out there, they can get people on the ground to win these elections. we know what's happening in joe biden's washington. it's higher taxes. it's takeovers of healthcare. it's got to stop. ainsley: well, senator, good luck. we wish you all the best. great talking to you this morning. still ahead, rules for thee but not for me, another california democrat accused of skirting he covid restrictions. we'll explain what happened, next. ♪ marie could only imagine enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? advanced non-small cell lung cancer

and this one from 2019 when she wrote stacy abrams just called mcconnell moscow mitchell, love it. there was another one. she said vampires have more heart than ted cruz. she bashed republicans left and right. that is why she deleted 1000. now, because joe manchin said supporter, one republican, can they find one republican she's not insulted? >> in all likelihood probably so but this is the ultimate politician, that is what these nominees are but some of the complaints we have been hearing, it is because her race and her gender why her nomination is in trouble. that is the most racist and sexist thing you can say because you are arguing they shouldn't be asking hard questions, shouldn't be -- the fact is many people of color have gone through the senate confirmation process and have been fine but i think people should realize it is a section of politics, this is about identity politics, the entire point of identity politics is so you can argue certain people shouldn't have to answer questions, certain people need to be treated differently and that goes into this argument which is

but stacy abrams ground game in georgia shifted that with black americans. headway. >> trace: listening to mike lee and ron desantis they were touching on the whole red states staying open in the pandemic and blue states staying closed. a topic is resonating with the g.o.p. do you anticipate hearing more about that as the weekend goes on? >> well, the reason why this is resonating is because now that we have the facts with cuomo and it seemed like the media propped him up so much and he was known as the gold standard. now you look at all these revelations coming out. maybe ron desantis was the guy that was right all along. they had a rocky start. this is -- he allowed his state and people and businesses to make the best decision and now florida is leading. and so a lot of conservatives here on the ground feel vindicated. they are harassed and told they didn't believe in science. now we know better. so they are excited about this. also ron desantis, if the president does not announce he is going to run, he is going to be a top contender for the presidency. >>

that's just the stacy abrams group who knew they took advantage of the mail-in ballot swigs and we hadncy pelosi and her hr-1, that is her priority. by the way, pelosi talked about so many things that she thinks are important. she talked about minimum wage. she's talked about the money for the arts. she's talked about income inequality. when she actually becomes speaker again in the last election, her most important priority was election integrity and keeping mail-in voting going. so what's your take on this? she's pushing back against people needing id to vote. >> well, first of all, nancy pelosi's agenda is not in touch with mainstream america. as you recall, her first day of session, she doesn't want men to be called mens, she doesn't want fathers and mothers to be called fathers and mothers, she prefers parents. she is wait out of sync here. you would think she would be on board with election integrity. joe biden wants biological males, transgenders, transgender individuals to participate in female sports. she is all over the place and she is so out of touch with this legislation a
