ATLANTA — The tweet from Stacey Abrams seemed innocuous enough, promoting her appearance at a Decatur school honoring Black History Month.
But the pictures under the now-deleted post are what triggered a Republican backlash that could factor into the November race for Georgia governor.
Abrams visited Glennwood Elementary School on Friday to talk about her new children’s book and speak with faculty and staff. The school’s principal tweeted her thanks — along with images of Abrams, without a mask, posing with students and faculty.
