Abrams has ‘Not Received Any Calls’ From Biden Campaign About VP Spot

Abrams has ‘Not Received Any Calls’ From Biden Campaign About VP Spot

She also said she’s been so vocal about wanting the post because people ask her basic questions about qualifications because of her race.

CNN political analyst April Ryan said that Joe Biden’s campaign is vetting Stacey Abrams for the VP spot.

Stephen Colbert asked Abrams about that, but she did not give the expected answer.

From The New York Post:

“I have said many times that if called, I will answer, but I have not received any calls,” Abrams told Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show” on Wednesday.

“Though I look forward to hearing from whomever April Ryan is speaking to,” she added, referring to the CNN political analyst whom the late-night host cited as having said the former Georgia State House leader was being vetted for veep.

Awkward.

Colbert also asked “why she has not been ‘demure’ in pining for the post.”

Abrams claimed it’s because people asked if she is qualified and if she can do this or that…because of her color.

I’m pretty sure everyone gets asked that. I’m pretty sure President Donald Trump was asked that a lot in 2016 because he had no political experience.

I also doubt anyone is even falling for it, including the Biden campaign:

“No one takes Stacey seriously. And her public campaigning for the job seems more like a hostage negotiation than an actual attempt to get the job,” a Biden insider has told The Post.

“Biden is an old-school guy and will always be. Picking Stacey would be like picking [Sarah] Palin. He doesn’t need to throw a Hail Mary. He wants a good governing partner.”

Makes sense, Joe Biden probably doesn’t want to catch Coronavirus through the phone.

Ms. Abrams, weren’t you humiliated enough by Joe Biden on your joint appearance with Biden on Lawrence O’Donnell’s low rated cable show?

“Is It Still Over?”

Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
You’ve been gone so long that it’s hard to recall
Just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine

Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain’t ringing, I assume it still ain’t you
I’ll have to mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I’m not too sure that I’m still over you

That lie that I tried to slip by you
Was told with good intentions
It was just another way to say I love you
And protect you from the truth
And half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention
And trying to explain while I’m insane
Is the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do

Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain’t ringing, I assume it still ain’t you
I’ll have to mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I’m not too sure that I’m still over you

Is it still over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain’t ringing, I assume it still ain’t you
I’ll have to mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I’m not too sure that I’m still over you

If I repeat myself it’s cause I’ve nothing else to do
And I’m not too sure that I’m still over you

There is still an on-going grand jury investigation into the mis-management of campaign funds for the failed governor’s race. She does not need to be a government employee in any capacity.

    She’s looking for the Biden defense. If she gets the pick as VP then any investigation of her is obviously politically motivated to help Trump win and needs to be shut down immediately. Then she can open up a fight Trump fund.

Right, people ax her if because she is black is she qualified… more likely people are worried that taxpayers will have to pay to feed her.

This woman is delusional. Seriously delusional.

She’s too _______ to be Biden’s running mate. (fill in the blank for a chance to win a dinner with Stacey)

Nobody cares about the color of your skin, lady, nobody serious that is. We don’t want you because you’re a moron. Go away.

For someone who blames racism for literally everything, she sure sounds shocked that anybody’s questioning her fitness for a job that consists of inquiring daily after the health of a senile old white guy.

She’s not alone. I’m still waiting for my call.

Picking Stacey would be like picking [Sarah] Palin. He doesn’t need to throw a Hail Mary. He wants a good governing partner.

Not quite the same thing. I seem to recall that only one of the two really was a state governor.

Save us from fat angry loud mouth black females. Tired of listening to them, tired of seeing them.

    “Save us from fat angry loud mouth black females. Tired of listening to them, tired of seeing them….”

    Qualify that with leftist fat angry loud black females. In any event: they are hard not to see.

    But we do love Diamond and Silk, and can’t hear or see enough of them.

    Oprah?

Kamala is winning the donation war.
She has placed millions into the Biden Campaign, and will win the day.

No – they asked because she had no experience.

I sorta hope he picks her… she would be a train wreck.

Good god this woman is STUPID.

I mean seriously.

The joint ‘appearance’ with Biden – where she clearly was stupid enough to think he was announcing her as his running mate – was as subtle as a mob collection agent.

He may as well have come straight out and said, “Stacy is great, and if she wants to keep advancing in the Democrat party she’d better shut her mouth and stop acting like she has any chance of being the VP.”

It was a subtle as a brick to the face and yet she STILL refuses to get the message.

No ,Joe just forgot why he was there.

Our very own Diane Abbott.

It’s always interesting to see what kind of statement people are trying to make with their background during a Zoom call.

In the main photo it appears Stacey is making second use of her butt plug so that her stack of books doesn’t fall when she walks around her office.

Only reason Slow Joe would pick her is the same reason Obama picked him.

Maybe she’d have better odds of being picked if she changed her last name to Mendelbaum, that way Slow Joe could get the media to chant “Mendelbaum! Mendelbaum!”

Fransisco Franco is still dead…

Where be the buffet at? If Joe calls, I’ll be there.

Not to worry Stacey, nether have I

What a narcissist she must be to think her skin color and personal plumbing are qualification enough to be selected as running mate.

    She misinterperted the call.

    She thought she heard “fat lives matter” and she came running.

    Huffing and puffing, but she came running.

    Obama set the bar to high office to zero. Alexandra cortez put it below the Earth’s crust.

    Now, all crazy women and beta males are coming out of the woodwork with a fantasy of holding high office.

Stupidity and ambition is the deadliest combination.

She keeps getting questions about her qualifications because she is clearly unqualified. This is completely unrelated to race sex etc.
