Stacey Abrams’ weekend took quite a turn, thanks to the terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad optics of her making kids around her wear their masks so she could have a maskless photo op.
These tweets — with a photo showing Stacey Abrams maskless surrounded by masked children & showing Abrams promoting it from her own account — have now both been removed. (Abrams deleted her own tweet and it appears that the original account has been deactivated or something). pic.twitter.com/qzzAPolsE2

Abrams’ campaign manager’s attempt at damage control was a major bust. Is there another brave soul who’s willing to step up and give Abrams the defense she truly deserves?
Yes there is. And his name is Bakari Sellers, CNN Contributor:
CNN’s @Bakari_Sellers defends Stacey Abrams: "If my kid was in the classroom, would I be outraged? The answer is definitely not. Stacey Abrams is not trying to harm children, she was not flaunting regulations purposefully … So there is not an issue there." pic.twitter.com/WWwp4jV8vD

You heard the man! No issue there! No issue of any kind!
Poor Stacey is just misunderstood

Stacey Abrams is the real victim, if you think about it.

"she was not flaunting regulations purposefully" — yes, it's well known that the virus cares about intent https://t.co/QtM9igHN6N

Democrats have a natural immunity from COVID that also requires that everyone around them wear masks for photos.
How is she not doing it purposefully? She purposefully didn’t put her mask on in a sea 🌊 of poor masked children

Is flaunting regulations ignorantly better when you're the proponent of said regulations?

“she likes the regulations, she’s not following them and she’s a hypocrite, but she’s on my side so it’s okay guys!”

Democrats never apply their standards to themselves https://t.co/0GutfnSQc0

To be fair, the jury’s still out on whether or not Democrats have any standards at all.
You lick her boots for free or are you on her payroll @Bakari_Sellers? https://t.co/8iHxNfD0Vl

For Bakari’s sake, we hope he’s getting something out of this. Maybe a discount on Stacey Abrams’ romance novels?
These are not serious people 🤡🌎
Earlier they were clutching their pearls over someone going in a grocery store maskless (no mask mandate for the store btw but that didn’t matter to these clowns)
It’s all just tribal crazy lies to them! Divide & conquer!

Yeah, let’s talk about Glenn Youngkin now, Bakari. Surely you’ll defend him, too, right? And any other Republicans who opt to go maskless, even the ones who are twice-vaccinated and boosted?
Ok…now what if it were Brian Kemp https://t.co/B9hy8Y5Ec7

There are few hacks bigger than @Bakari_Sellers
If this was Youngkin or Desantis he would've had a seizure from being so upset https://t.co/7JWx3SUVsm

What can Bakari Sellers’ say? Some animals are just more equal than others, OK?
She most certainly was "flaunting regulations purposefully." Stacey Abrams thinks she's governor and she thinks she's better than you. Bottom line @ComfortablySmug https://t.co/WvwfVVNYC6

1) Oh, she was flaunting. 2) Doesn’t matter either way. 3) Forced masking is harming children. https://t.co/J2eoKCuwbf
