“It is an attack on education, it is an attack on how our economy works,” says failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate.

Twice-failed Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed criticisms of the left’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiative is “an attack on democracy.”

“What we know is that the attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, is an attack on democracy, it is an attack on education, it is an attack on how our economy works,” Abrams told MSNBC’s Al Sharpton on Monday.

“We should be terrified of the person who wants to come back into the White House, strip of us of our rights, rescind the economic progress we have made and undermine the democracy that we hold to be so dear,” she added.

This comes as 30 states, including Texas, Florida and Utah have passed legislation banning DEI programs in colleges, industries and in the government.
