Earlier this month, Abrams attended a gathering with young children at an elementary academy. In a photo-op, all the children donned face coverings, while Abrams did not.
Shortly thereafter, Perdue released an ad calling to “unmask” Georgia’s children. Later, Abrams responded to criticism from both Perdue and Kemp. The Democrat implied both Republicans harbor racism and used Black History Month as a chance to go after her.
This response didn’t go over well at all. Abrams received bipartisan censure for going maskless amid a crowd of masked children and her history of advocacy for masks in schools. Since this incident, the Georgia Democrat has issued an apology.
