We’re going to need to preface this post about Stacey Abrams by letting you know that we are absolutely shocked to learn that Stacey Abrams’ campaign isn’t on the up and up. We’re sure you’re just as shocked as we are:
the Stacey Abrams campaign owes more than $1 million in debt to vendors,
Campaign manager Groh-Wargo told Axios that a “cavalcade of negative press and negative polling” made fundraising difficult in the final months. https://t.co/5R1B6EB1HE— Alex Thompson (@AlexThomp) December 19, 2022
And you thought Evan McMullin was a deadbeat! More from Axios:
Driving the news: Groh-Wargo told Axios that a “cavalcade of negative press and negative polling” made fundraising difficult in the final months. She said the campaign had engaged brokers to sell their donor and voter contact databases to try to pay down the debt over time.
- “We did not just lose, we got blown out,” she said. “It was the most sub-optimal situation to be in. And we will be dealing with that situation for some time.”
…
Flashback: Abrams nearly ran out of money during the 2018 primary, said Georgia Democratic operative Chris Huttman. He called it a “well-documented pattern.”
-
- “She was running a campaign where there’s always been more money in the future that can fix the mistakes of the past,” he told Axios.
Womp-womp.
Downbeat press coverage can make it harder to raise money but it doesn’t control how you spend it. And Abrams did not have a hard time raising money. https://t.co/6E7fqwdQEZ

Oh, that we know. Liberal celebs couldn’t throw their money at her any harder if they tried. And even after raising over $100 million in her 2022 gubernatorial campaign, she still owes her vendors over $1 million. It’s impressive, really.
She's not getting any Star Trek residuals?

Evidently not! Or at least not enough to cover her outstanding debt.
Yes, just look at the “cavalcade of negative press." @ComfortablySmug https://t.co/JaLqpDBiTj pic.twitter.com/9iMSEnMDAd

Stacey Abrams was always doomed to lose, but it wasn’t because of “negative press.” And she knew she was always doomed to lose. She also knew that she could make a lot of money off of people by running a losing campaign.
What a grifter
