Two Thursdays ago, Stacey Abrams joined a Howard University symposium - "Black Women in Politics" - and I'm sharing that audio today, along with a short Q&A after it, where Abrams referenced voter suppression tactics and Medicaid expansion filibusters here in Georgia.

Meanwhile, last weekend, Fareed Zaharia invoked Abrams in a "whataboutist" stretch of sorts. In a conversation on 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' he tried comparing Abrams' not conceding in 2018 to Ronna McDaniels' appeasement of insurrectionists He matter-of-factly called Abrams an 'election denier." Stacey begs to differ. Hear her do so.

Maher, himself, comes off, lately, as the cranky old lib who's anti-"wokeism" (mostly because he hasn't the patient to learn from and about younger liberals) and I've some thoughts on his shortsightedness.
