Help Move Georgia Forward
Today, Stacey Abrams blasted Gov. Brian Kemp in a Fox News exclusive interview – for “enticing increased Chinese investment in the state” despite “the greater threat to national security it could bring,” and criticizing his administration for using “the Chinese messaging service WeChat, which shares its data with the Chinese government by law.”
Abrams “emphasized the potential threat continued Chinese investment could have on America’s ability to defend itself, citing the large U.S. military presence and infrastructure in Georgia, and warned against allowing more investment without regulation.”
When asked for a response from Fox News, Kemp campaign press secretary Tate Mitchell “did not speak to the national security concerns Abrams raised.”
Congresswoman Nikema Williams, Democratic Party of Georgia Chair released the following statement:
“Georgians deserve answers on why Governor Kemp has been using our taxpayer dollars to encourage the Chinese Communist Party to buy up our state’s farmland — including land that’s close to our military bases. More than 100 of my Republican colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives and many Republicans in the U.S. Senate have raised concerns on this issue and know it’s an urgent national security threat — why won’t Kemp speak to these concerns?”
