Photos released on Tuesday by OutKick challenge a narrative put forth by Stacey Abrams that she had remained maskless only when the initial picture was taken during a visit last week to Glennwood Elementary School in Decatur, Georgia.
In the leaked photos, a maskless Abrams can be seen delivering a presentation to an audience of masked children.
Abrams, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Georgia, apologized Tuesday in an interview on CNN’s ”OutFront” for not being masked in a picture she shared during her visit to the school, The Hill reported.
Abrams asserted in the interview that she followed safety protocols while visiting the school but had removed her mask when taking the photo.
”I approached the podium with my mask on. I followed the protocols. I told the kids I’m taking my mask off because I’m reading to kids who are listening remotely as well, and we were socially distanced – the kids were socially distanced from me,” Abrams told host Erin Burnett.
In a now-deleted tweet on Sunday, Abrams had shared a picture of her maskless surrounded by masked elementary school kids as she contributed to Glennwood’s annual Black History Month read-in.
After receiving backlash from critics on social media, the gubernatorial candidate issued a statement to her Instagram account the same day, characterizing it as a ”false political attack.”
”It is shameful that our opponents are using a Black History Month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus for a false political attack, and it is pitiful and predictable that our opponents continue to look for opportunities to distract from their failed records when it comes to protecting public health during the pandemic,” Abrams wrote at the time.

As Abrams Apologizes, Photos Appear to Contradict Her Mask Claims
Ever notice the same lying Democrats keep reappearing???? At this point just who is dumb enough to vote for her for anything???? As you can tell it is all about what she wants! She could care less about you!
Fat SOW Abrams is a liar, and should be in prison for voter FRAUD!
They voted her out the first time. Of course she is on the voting committee. Funny how 2 months ago I looked her up and it was totally different. She was in charge of the voting committee before trump was elected Federal judge: Recusing self from voting case would be dereliction of duty according to who ABRAMS SISTER” WHO IS A judge. I hope she never gets elected with her racism. RACISM IS OUT.
