'It is shameful that our opponents are using a Black History Month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus for a false political attack,' Abrams' campaign said.

GA gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams hit back against critics of her maskless school photo-op. Above, Abrams addresses supporters at an election watch party on November 6, 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia, during her prior campaign for the office of governor.in the 2020 presidential election, is currently running against Kemp in Georgia's 2022 gubernatorial race. She previously lost to Kemp in 2018, when she became the first African-American woman nominated for governor by a major U.S.

"Stacey Abrams wants state government mask mandates for Georgians and their children," Tate Mitchell, press secretary for Kemp's 2022 reelection campaign, toldin a statement."But it looks like they wouldn't apply when she's attending a photo-op. This kind of hypocrisy is exactly why Georgians see her campaign for governor for what it truly is: a quest for more power. Governor Kemp will continue fighting to put students and parents first.

"It is shameful that our opponents are using a Black History Month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus for a false political attack," the statement read."And it is pitiful and predictable that our opponents continue to look for opportunities to distract from their failed records when it comes to protecting public health during the pandemic."

The statement continued,"One of Stacey's opponents downplayed the virus while trading stock to profit off the pandemic after his private coronavirus briefings as a Senator. Another of her opponents attacked mayors seeking to protect their citizens and has failed to expand access to Medicaid even as rural hospitals close. This pathetic, transparent and silly attack is beneath anyone who claims he wants to lead Georgia.
