Jasmine Crockett Says Scrutiny of Biden’s $2B Grant to Stacey Abrams-Linked Nonprofit Meant To ‘Keep a Strong Black Woman Down’
'To hear the comments about Stacey Abrams really got me going,' Texas Democrat says
 
Thomas Catenacci
June 4, 2025
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) accused Republicans of scrutinizing a $2 billion Biden-era grant benefiting a nonprofit linked to Stacey Abrams for the purpose of keeping a "strong black woman down."

Crockett's comments came during a DOGE subcommittee hearing examining how nonprofits may abuse government funds in pursuit of far-left initiatives. And they came after several Republicans and hearing witnesses criticized the EPA climate grant—which was first revealed by the Washington Free Beacon—awarded to the Abrams-linked group Power Forward Communities in 2024. Crockett said that criticism is related to race and a potential third Abrams gubernatorial run in 2026.

"To hear the comments about Stacey Abrams really got me going," Crockett remarked during the Wednesday hearing. "A lot of times when we come into this hearing room, it's all about politics. And it made me think that there was an issue most likely with Stacey because someone actually brought up the fact that Stacey has run for governor a couple of times, and there's a gubernatorial race that's coming up in Georgia and nobody knows whether or not Stacey is going to run."

"So, why not muddy the waters if we can hopefully keep a strong black woman down?" she added. "But again, I digress."

"I digress"? How about just admitting you're a racist moron, you silly *itch?

Friends With Benefits: Stacey Abrams Funneled $20 Million to Her Lawyer
By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations
June 05, 2025

A nonprofit founded by Georgia Democratic politician Stacey Abrams to protect voting rights paid more than $20 million to a lawyer who is a close friend and helped set up two of her private businesses, according to tax and state incorporation filings and other records obtained by RealClearInvestigations.

Abrams’ Fair Fight Action redirected the tax-exempt donations and government grants to Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, her former campaign chair between 2019 and 2023. Most of the funds covered legal expenses charged by the boutique law firm Lawrence-Hardy co-founded, for a failed race-bias lawsuit filed against Abram’s Republican opponent, Gov. Brian Kemp, after she lost to him in Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial election.

In its articles of incorporation, Fair Fight Action Inc. states that “The Corporation will not be operated for the pecuniary gain or profit of any individual.” They also said no revenues will be “distributed” to any individual except when “authorized to pay reasonable compensation for services rendered.”

The nonprofit’s payout to her friend’s law firm, which averaged more than $4 million each year over those five years, raised eyebrows and conflict-of-interest concerns among ethics watchdogs briefed by RCI. ...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Taxpayer funds should not be used to subsidize Poltical Action Committees pretending to be non-profits.

I just wish she would leave Texas. She's an embarrassment to the state.
