As Twitchy readers know, Stacey Abrams tweeted a terrible, horrible, no-good, very BAD picture of herself maskless sitting surrounded by masked children. She must have figured out the optics were HORRIFIC because she deleted it.
Heck, the principal who also tweeted it not only deleted her tweet but her entire account as well.
Welp, looks like Stacey decided to release a statement to try and fix some of the damage she did to her campaign with that tweet/delete. We especially like how she tries to make it about racism AND public health:

Wow.
Maybe it’s just us but pretty sure that statement is only going to make things way worse for ‘Governor Abrams’.
Heh.
Terry McAuliffe: *Loses a Biden +10 state.

Ouch.
So, @staceyabrams it's not shameful that you posted several pictures of you in front of dozens of masked up Children without a mask and then deleted them when you got your ass handed to you? # Unfit to lead!

This is an insult to clowns everywhere.
Racism. Got it. Well, at least she's consistent with her excuses.

But we were told that wearing a mask is a show of compassion.

So she’s maskless but it’s okay because of black history month 🤦♂️

She is invoking Black History Month as a way to deflect criticism from the blatant hypocrisy. 😂😂😂

It’s all she knows how to do.
