In the wake of the Trump Administration yanking billions of dollars in funding that her recently created non-profit had received from the Biden Administration in a last-minute grant, part of a $20 billion scheme, twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams went on air and freaked out, shouting about Trump and calling him a “petty tyrant.”
As background, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Lee Zeldin discovered that out of $20 billion in random funding grants issued by Biden at the last minute, Abrams had received $2 billion despite previously receiving only $100 in funding the year before, a massive increase that looked like a political payoff.
In comments on the matter, Mr. Zeldin noted that Abrams’s organization was practically broke, having brought in just $100 before the Biden Administration decided to fund it with billions of dollars. He said, “It’s extremely concerning that an organization that reported just $100 in revenue in 2023 was chosen to receive $2 billion. That’s 20 million times the organization’s reported revenue.”
Making a similar point, Daniel Turner, the executive director of energy advocacy group Power the Future, told the Washington Free Beacon, “For an organization that has no experience in this, that was literally just established, and had $100 in the bank to receive a $2 billion grant—it doesn’t just fly in the face of common sense, it’s out and out fraud.”
In the wake of that discovery and the yanking of her billions in funding, Abrams appeared on CNN’s “News Central” show on Wednesday, March 5. During that appearance, she went berserk and attacked President Donald Trump as being a “petty tyrant” who was, in his new administration, surrounded by “complicit flunkies.”
Beginning, she declared that her podcast has been leading the charge in calling out Trump, and pointing to Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk in a telling comment indicating she was upset about the money. She snapped, “I have a podcast called ‘Assembly Required’ and we have been having this conversation for the last six weeks and we have to do all of the above. We have to call out Donald Trump on his lies. We have to point out that an unelected oligarch is doing his best to steal America from its people in Elon Musk.”
Continuing, Abrams declared that Congress is “complicit,” again angrily snapping about DOGE’s efficiency finds. She said, “We have a complicit Congress that is allowing him to fire thousands of people that should be delivering services to Americans and he is now starting trade wars to cover for the fact that he has failed to deliver on his day one promises.”
And, attacking Trump as a tyrant, she said, “Donald Trump is an early failure and he’s hoping that by attacking folks like me and others that we won’t notice that he has failed and that he has no intention of delivering anything other than retribution. He is a petty tyrant who is surrounded by complicit flunkies and it is the job of Americans to stand up and say ‘We want what we voted for and that is progress for America not petty revenge for Donald Trump.”
