Stacey Abrams is still in damage control mode. Her latest ad would make you think she’s Georgia law enforcement’s biggest supporter — but the facts paint a different picture.

• Abrams had to go out of state to find a police officer that supports her for her July ad.
• Abrams serves on the board of a foundation whose goal is to abolish the police.
• With Abrams’ approval, the foundation increased their anti-police funding right after she joined.
• More than 100 Georgia sheriffs have condemned Abrams over her defund the police ties.

“In Stacey Abrams’ world where facts don’t matter, she claims she’s supported law enforcement every step of the way,” said RGA Spokeswoman Maddie Anderson. “But in Georgia, law enforcement officers know that a board member of an abolish the police organization will never have their backs as governor.”
