She is demeaning her own race.” pic.twitter.com/BH7yeSOPVGAbrams — who has lived in Georgia since she was in high school — in response to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s describing Georgia as the top state to do business said she is “tired of hearing about being the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live.” She pointed to the state’s high maternal mortality rate, high incarceration rate and low wages.At Monday’s event, Perdue also accused Abrams of “demeaning her own race.” “When she told Black farmers, ‘You don’t need to be on the farm,’ and she told Black workers in hospitality and all this, ‘You don’t need to be,’ she is demeaning her own race when it comes to that.” It appeared Perdue was referring to comments Abrams made in 2018, in her then-campaign for Georgia governor when she said, “People shouldn’t have to go into agriculture or hospitality to make a living in Georgia.
