Early in January, the news broke that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission was looking at a ban on gas stoves, but once that report was made public the CPS chief quickly started walking that back.
At that point the media started doing their thing with reports about how the Republicans are making a big deal out of nothing and that nobody’s seriously talking about banning gas stoves:

If the “they want to ban gas stoves” thing is just part of a made-up GOP “culture wars” thing, it seems that Stacey Abrams is also taking part:

From the NY Post:
Stacy Abrams has taken a new job at Rewiring America — a dark money environmental advocacy group pushing for the ban of gas stoves and other regulations.
The two-time failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate is joining the nonprofit as senior counsel, where she will help “launch and scale a national awareness campaign and a network of large and small communities working to help Americans go electric,” according to a press release from the organization.
“She will also guide the organization as it builds the tools and capacity to connect Americans and their communities to machines, installers, Inflation Reduction Act incentives and jobs in the clean energy transition,” the group added.
Wow, Abrams pounced on the Republican pouncing!
That thing that wasn't happening? https://t.co/v1MptFTqWj

Wait, I thought there wasn’t a plan to ban gas stoves that was all just a made up Right wing media narrative. https://t.co/sfObZprmTw

When Abrams was running for governor in Georgia (the second time) she had an ad showing her cooking in the kitchen:
That sure looked like a gas stove to me!
When's she going to throw hers away? (https://t.co/jBA643HiIY) pic.twitter.com/2DhBmWGU8h

At what point will Abrams hold an event where her stove is tossed out so as to lead by example?
Well she is good at failing so this adds up she's the poster child for it. https://t.co/EiH0rw7ans

There’s been so much “Republican pouncing” but it beats the MSM feeling compelled to report what Democrats are actually trying to ban.
