Two-Time Gubernatorial Loser Stacey Abrams Defends Ejected Dem Rep’s Antics During Trump Speech

Two-time failed Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams told “CNN News Central” host John Berman Wednesday that Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas “did his job” when he disrupted President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress.

Green was ejected from the House Chamber in the Capitol building after heckling Trump during the speech and disregarding warnings from House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Abrams claimed that Trump was surrounded by “complicit flunkies” and enabled by a “complicit Congress.”

“We have to call out Donald Trump on his lies. We have to point out that an unelected oligarch is doing his best to steal America from its people in Elon Musk,” Abrams claimed. “We have a complicit Congress that is allowing him to fire thousands of people that should be delivering services to Americans and he is now starting trade wars to cover for the fact that he has failed to deliver on his day one promises.”

“Donald Trump is an early failure and he’s hoping that by attacking folks like me and others that we won’t notice that he has failed and that he has no intention of delivering anything other than retribution,” Abrams continued. “He is a petty tyrant who is surrounded by complicit flunkies and it is the job of Americans to stand up and say ‘We want what we voted for and that is progress for America not petty revenge for Donald Trump.’”
