You just can't make this stuff up...A new low in being offended. This is Georgia, not California.

Quote:A journalism professor at the University of Georgia apologized for offending people after calling the Republican candidate for governor a “nice guy” on Twitter.

Charles Davis, dean of the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at UGA, tweeted-then-deleted a message about the President Trump-endorsed candidate for Georgia governor, Brian Kemp, on the night he won the Republican primary.

“I went to high school with GOP guv candidate @BrianKempGA,” Davis wrote in the now-deleted tweet. “We played YMCA ball from childhood. Politics be damned. He is a nice guy, always was. Kind to a fault. He’s a friend, always has been, and will be when we’re old(er) and grey(er). That’s how all this should work, people.”

Liberals on Twitter labeled Davis a “racist” and one user said “You’d never vote for a black woman and would much rather vote for the white racist,” as reported by CampusReform.org.

Three days after the tweet that put him under fire, Davis issued an apology.

“I’d like to apologize to anyone offended by my tweet shout out to Brian Kemp,” Davis wrote. “It was ill-timed and poorly written. I’ve read and learned so much from you all and will endeavor to be more thoughtful.”

And this is the Dem candidate for Governor in Georgia....

Quote:Stacey Abrams is vowing to improve Georgia’s economic standing, but she believes her struggles with massive personal debt do not reflect poorly on her fiscal responsibility.

Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Stacey Abrams, ended her three-day “Jobs for Georgia” tour Saturday with a stop in the small town of Macon. During a town hall, she offered a few examples of her ambitious economic agenda.

Among many ideas, she told local voters she hopes to create a $10 million investment fund to boost small businesses and another $40 million fund to spur job growth. Abrams also proposed converting abandoned warehouses in the area into advanced hubs for solar panel installations.

Abrams claims such investment is necessary to improve job growth in Georgia. However, her critics argue she supports expensive, big government solutions. More notably, Abrams has taken flak for her massive accumulation of personal debt.

The former state representative has acknowledged that she owes more than $200,000 in student loans, credit card debt and IRS back taxes.

“I did not understand that those magical slivers of plastic that I was getting in in college, a $100 purchase was going to cost me like $3,000 over the next seven years,” Abrams statedin an interview with Yahoo Finance. “And that if I didn’t pay the bill every month it was going on some report that was going to follow me even after I had a great job.”

Abrams owes back taxes amounting to $40,201 for 2015 and $13,851 for 2016. She owes $96,512 in student loan debt and another $77,522 in credit card debt spread over nine different accounts. In total, she is about $228,000 in the red. This number is actually higher if you count her $178,500 in real estate debt and her $4,434 car loan.

Abrams, the former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, has blamed a misunderstanding in her younger years of how credit card debt works and a temptation as a business owner to spend revenue instead of withholding it for tax collection. She has also cited family obligations as a major reason for debt, having helped pay for her father’s cancer treatment.

A real man of strong character. A friend that will really stand with you.

And what does this say about the Democrats ? Says a lot about them.

That Stacey girl, I'd make sure she wasn't even close to state government money. She'd think it was money that had grown on trees and it was allllll hers.

Standard demonization by dems. People who have met say he really is a nice guy

I keep hoping there's more to this story. But so far, it seems like the usual he-said-something-nice-about-a-conservatives-now-he's-under-attack-and-groveling-and-begging-for-forgiveness routine.

This is the sole reason for the leftist push back. If this prof is going to delete and apologize for saying something nice about a friend from high school then he's a fraud. A true friend with character doesn't wilt to keyboard bullies over something like this.

When Sean Hannity eulogized his friend Alan Colmes nobody called for his head.
