The Democratic nominee in Georgia’s gubernatorial election had to walk back comments that suggested the agriculture and hospitality industries weren’t worth working in.
The controversy began when Stacey Abrams was giving a speech at Georgia Southern University as part of her “We Are Georgia” bus tour.
“I want to create a lot of different jobs because people shouldn’t have to go into agriculture or hospitality to make a living in Georgia. Why not create renewable energy jobs because — I’m going to tell ya’ll a secret — climate change is real,” Abrams said Tuesday at the campaign rally.
Throughout the campaign, Abrams has been a big proponent of solar and wind energy, and has made fighting climate change a part of her campaign platform. The Democratic candidate went on to claim in her Tuesday speech that the state could create 25,000 to 45,000 “good paying” jobs if renewable energy industry is recognized as “not only the future,” but also as “the now.”

Does it REALLY make sense to grow solar panel farms instead of corn? Does it REALLY make sense to burn corn for fuel? WTH
For the most part, Democrat ideas are not sound. To promote solar and wind projects that need huge tax subsidies to compete, and disregard the importance the agricultural and hospitality industries, indicates such a small mindedness that it is borderline mental retardation.
The closer we get to Halloween, the scarier the Democrats' actions and behavior is becoming. Irrational thinking is also included, and this woman's remarks are clearly a confirmation of same.
Because they LOOK DOWN on people.
Farm for a living? You are too stupid.
Serve food or keep rooms clean? You are too stupid.
Can you set a car on fire or burn down a building or attack old people or throw bricks or break storefront windows??
PERFECT for the democrat party.
Keep cheering.
