ARMED WITH ASSAULT RIFLES, BLACK PANTHERS MARCH FOR STACEY ABRAMS
Members of the Black Panther Party marched through the city of Atlanta, strapped with assault rifles and brandishing Stacey Abrams campaign signs.
In a video posted on the group’s Facebook page on Saturday, members of the Black Panther Party are seen marching through the West End neighborhood of Atlanta in support of Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign. As they marched, the Black Panthers carried assault rifles and continually shouted slogans such as “black power” and “power to the people.”

Abrams, a former Democratic state representative, is running in a tight election against Republican Brian Kemp, Georgia’s current Secretary of State. The Real Clear Politics average of recent polls shows Kemp up by 1.1 percentage points, well within the margin of error.
The video shows the panthers marching for nearly 30 minutes through the city of Atlanta until they enter a local radio station.

When reached for comment by The Daily Caller News Foundation, the Abrams campaign forwarded a statement from spokeswoman Abigail Collazo. Her statement did not specifically address the Panthers’ march, but instead attacked Kemp.
“Brian Kemp is the only candidate in this race who has posed for pictures with supporters wearing racist, hate-filled t-shirts and refused to denounce them, while Abrams continues to condemn any racist, anti-Semitic, or otherwise discriminatory words and actions,” Collazo said.
“Unlike Kemp, Abrams is a leader committed to running an inclusive campaign focused on bringing all Georgians together to find bold solutions on critical issues like health care, education, and the economy,” she continued.

At one point during the march, someone driving a vehicle stopped momentarily to speak to the Panthers.
One of the members can be heard saying afterward: “You need to march in your neighborhood. When we was [sic] in West Virginia, 99 percent crackers, stone cold crackers.”
Kemp’s campaign called on Abrams to immediately denounce the Black Panthers.
“It’s no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia for Stacey Abrams. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform,” Kemp spokesman Ryan Mahoney said in a statement to TheDCNF.
“Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism,” he continued. “She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election.”
The close race has brought star power from both sides of the aisle. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned for Kemp on Thursday — the same day Oprah Winfrey knocked on doors on behalf of Abrams.
The Panthers did not respond to a request for comment by TheDCNF.

Armed Black Panthers Lobby for Democrat Gubernatorial Candidate Stacey Abrams
2:05
Breitbart News has obtained photographs of members of the New Black Panther Party wielding weapons and holding signs supporting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a leftist who hopes to be the first black female governor in Georgia.
This comes on the heels of Oprah Winfrey’s visit to the state on Abrams behalf where she said the Democrat refuses to allow the sacrifices of those who were “lynched” and “oppressed” to be “in vain.”
The photos show the men, dressed all in black, with the Black Panther logo on their clothing and holding weapons.
Abrams opponent, Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, will be the focus of a rally today in Georgia where President Donald Trump will be stumping on his behalf.
Ryan Mahoney, Kemp for Governor spokesman, has no doubt about the origin of the images. He said:
It’s no surprise that militant Black Panthers are armed and patrolling the streets of Georgia for Stacey Abrams. The Black Panthers are a radical hate group with a racist and anti-semitic agenda. They are dangerous and encourage violence against our men and women in uniform. Stacey Abrams should immediately denounce the Black Panthers and their hateful record of racism. She should stand against and condemn their attempts to intimidate hardworking Georgia voters just days before the election.
The Georgia governor’s race is one of the most closely watched campaigns in the nation and is attracting top surrogates from both parties in the final days before the election. Vice President Mike Pence stumped for Kemp earlier Thursday, while President Donald Trump will be in the state this weekend. “I heard Oprah is in town today,” Pence said at today’s rally. “I heard Will Ferrell was going door-to-door the other day. I’d like to remind Stacey and Oprah and Will Ferrell, I’m kind of a big deal, too.”
Real Clear Politics poll tracking shows Kemp up by one point and labels the contest a “toss-up.”

THE MANY PHONY LIVES OF OPRAH WINFREY: Still up Barack Obama’s arse big time!
"In 2008, over 90% of my fellow black
voters were hypnotized by Obama's skin color. I tried to warn black
family and friends that Obama was not black in terms of being one of
us. Obama was first and foremost a liberal Trojan Horse disguised in black skin, totally
focused on furthering the liberal agenda rather than dealing with issues
plaguing black Americans." DANIEL JOHN SOBIESKI
In 2016, 7881
blacks were murdered, 90.1% of them by other blacks; 7100 blacks killed by other
blacks. FBI crime facts show only 16 unarmed blacks were shot by police.

Oprah to Campaign for Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams
1:53
Entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey will travel to Georgia this week to campaign on behalf of the state’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, according to reports.
BuzzFeed News says Winfrey will hold two town hall events with Abrams in DeKalb County and Cobb County on November 1, and then go door to door to pushing residents to vote early in the Peach State.
“I am honored to have Oprah join me for uplifting and honest conversations with voters about the clear choice before us in this election and the boundless potential of Georgians,” Abrams told BuzzFeed News.
Winfrey has increased her public political stances since delivering a politically charged speech in January at the 75th annual Golden Globes. In February, she joined Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and George and Amal Clooney in pledging $500,000 to the student gun control “March for Our Lives.”
Oprah Winfey isn’t the only major figure to boost Abrams, who is locked in a tight race against her Republican rival George Secretary of State Brian Kemp. One day after Winfrey’s appearances, former President Barack Obama will lead a get-out-the-vote event for Abrams at Forbes Arena at Morehouse College. Last week, Actor and former Saturday Night Live cast member Will Ferrell canvased for Abrams at Kennesaw State University to recruit volunteers for the Democrat’s campaign.
A Fox 5-Atlanta poll published Tuesday shows the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in a statistical tie with Kemp, while the Cook Political Report is characterizing the race as a “toss-up.”
President Trump is slated to visit Macon on Sunday to campaign for Kemp, while Vice President Pence will rally alongside the Republican gubernatorial candidate at three events this Thursday.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S WAR ON AMERICA’S LEGAL WORKERS, BORDERS AND LAWS as they build the LA RAZA welfare state on our backs.
One in every eleven persons born in Mexico has gone to the U.S. The National Review reported that in 2014 $1.87 billion was spent on incarcerating illegal immigrant criminals….Now add hundreds of billions for welfare and remittances! MICHAEL BARGO, Jr…… for the AMERICAN THINKER.COM
"Chairman of the DNC Keith Ellison was even spotted wearing a shirt stating, "I don't believe in borders" written in Spanish.
According to a new CBS news poll, 63 percent of Americans in competitive congressional districts think those crossing illegally should be immediately deported or arrested. This is undoubtedly contrary to the views expressed by the Democratic Party.
Their endgame is open borders, which has become evident over the last eight years. Don't for one second let them convince you otherwise." Evan Berryhill Twitter @EvBerryhill.
