She was reaching ALL THE WAY on that one. Probably really yelling at her staff, “Get me ANYTHING YOU CAN on this Black man!” and when they found he’d gotten some speeding tickets, she’s like “GOOD ENOUGH!”

People stay trying to create drama around Stacey Abrams but unlike so many activists, she stays focused on the mission. I really hope she can win the governors race. The GQP primary is going to be a hot mess so at least she can use that time to build her war chest (Paging Mike Bloomberg!) while others can work on…
