Keisha Lance Bottoms, who was always on the side of rioters and always blamed the police, allowed and encouraged an Atlanta crime wave. She’s known for causing the burning of Atlanta.
In general, she blamed white people instead of holding herself accountable for the policies that led to the crime wave. AI will tell you that isn’t true, but it is.
Keisha Lance Bottoms, Atlanta’s former mayor, is the first mayor since the Civil War to see the city burn. She allowed the protesters to do it.
She told Barack Obama she would remake the police department in his vision. Bottoms followed up by calling for defunding the police. The City Council didn’t let her defund, but she diverted money to alternative programs.
Keisha Lance Bottoms provoked a crime wave in Atlanta, a secession movement in Atlanta, and caused the death of eight-year-old Secoriea Turner.
After the George Floyd riots, Keisha Lance Bottoms sided with the rioters and told the police to let them have free rein of the city. They began to burn the city down.
People were getting shot, including a little 7-year-old girl named Kennedy Maxie.
Then she tried to persecute two police officers over the justified shooting of Rashad Brooks. There’s more here.
She doesn’t have support among some young black men and white voters. However, she still has 81% of the black voters behind her after all the violence she led. People have short memories.
Democrats appointed this woman, who was so unpopular at the end of her term that she couldn’t run for re-election. Bottoms had to step aside, and that is the person the Democrats nominated to be governor of Georgia.
