Stacy Abrams sells far-fetched reason behind Biden $2B EPA grant

Failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams attempted to explain why her program received money from former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Following a mention from President Donald Trump during his congressional address, Abrams joined MSNBC’s Chris Hayes to fling accusations at Republicans.

“In 2023 and 2024 I led a program called Vitalizing DeSoto. We worked in a tiny town in South Georgia to demonstrate that by replacing energy-inefficient appliances with efficient appliances, you can lower your cost. And in fact, we accomplished that for 75% of the community. They got appliances that are lowering their bills right now,” Abrams said.

“We had one woman who saw her electric bill cut in half from $180 to $98. That’s what we delivered. And based on that program, a coalition of organizations, famous organizations came together and said to the EPA, if we can do this here, we can do this for millions more Americans. Let us invest the money of America in lowering the cost for Americans. And the EPA said, okay, great, go for it. And they then granted those dollars to this coalition of organizations who came together, bringing 250 years and $100 billion worth of experience to doing this project,” she continued.

“What [Republicans] are angry about is that it’s going to work because we know it can work. And in fact, the hypocrisy is that just today, the EPA quietly released funds for one portion of this program, $7 billion, where $100 million of that will go to West Virginia for solar projects. Another $60 million will go to Alaska for solar projects. They know this works, they know this will reduce costs, they are angry about the fact that it is Democrats who know how to serve the American people and lower their prices. They know that they are about to cost Americans money and those of us willing to deliver results must be shut down before notice,” she added.

Sounds like a “green” scam to me. The Biden admin was just so corrupt.

Nothing suspicious AT ALL that Stacey Abrahms was involved. They could have used the tried-and-true rebate program. But hey, why not cut a friend a piece of the action?

Only on MSNBC can they think they are saying anything amazing. “Save people money”

In order for government…

By home appliances, she meant warehouses for Twinkie storage.
Thieving dolt.

DeSoto, GA has 174 residents. Spending nearly $11.63 million per son is highly implausible for a project for one family to save $80 on an electric bill. Makes no sense but Hayes didn’t follow-up because he’s MSNBC propagandist. The program was only used for 50-75 homes (75% of…

‘Let’s tax everyone, give a fraction to a small subset of people and keep the rest for us bureaucrats and politicians.’

Every government “program” takes more than it gives back, which causes debt. This is why taxes must be restricted to essentials only, such as the military.
