Stacey Abrams Got Rich by Losing an Election

CLAY: Herschel Walker has opened up a four-point lead on the Reverend Raphael Warnock in the state of Georgia. Also we got Stacey Abrams, who we should have mentioned this earlier in the week, but I wanted to hit this. Buck, I know you saw this because we talked about it off air. Stacey Abrams, four years ago when she ran for governor of Georgia, had a net worth of $100,000.

She now, as she runs for governor again, has suddenly got a net worth of $3.1 million. Now, I’m a capitalist. I believe you should be able to make as much money as possible based on your talent. But what Stacey Abrams did was sell her popularity that she gained by refusing to concede the election in Georgia and became a multimillionaire.

Not based on creating a new business, not based on building something that didn’t exist before, just by selling access that she gained from her political career. So, question for you, Buck, here. Is Stacey Abrams’ political career over if she loses again as the governor of Georgia, or will they come up with another excuse and continue to make her the patron saint of the Democrat Party?

BUCK: Clay, if she loses again, it’s because they cheated and stole it from her again. I think her speaking fees only go up. Instead of being, at one time, fake governor, she’ll be like, “I have been the fake governor of Georgia for how many years now?” I do think that that’s what’s gonna end up happening here.

CLAY: If you question the legitimacy of all this, “Oh, assault upon our democracy,” just know that Stacey Abrams never conceded, and became one of the faces of the Democratic Party and became a multimillionaire in the process. She needs to lose again.

BUCK: Hillary basically didn’t concede. Not for a while.
