She has been campaigning lately with Margeret Greene, newly elected US Rep and Q-Anon supporter. I think she is moving into, if not past, Hideous Lord Jimmy territory.

While there'll be plenty more about Loeffler on here, I wanted to highlight another WNBA-oriented Georgia victory from last night.
Karen Handel was the derided Senior VP at Susan G. Komen who stepped down after it was revealed she plotted to remove Komen funding for Planned Parenthood in 2012. Her memoir of the ordeal, "Planned Bullyhood," made it onto the Mostbitter List but it wasn't exactly a best-seller.
Juxtaposed with the anti-choice Handel winning a special election in June 2017 (defeating current GA Senate candidate Jon Ossoff, in a runoff) was the Seattle Storm's "Stand With Planned Parenthood" promotion partnership, and then the WNBA's public efforts in 2018 to "Take a Seat, Take a Stand" in support of women's health rights.
Loeffler cited her (then private) opposition to the league's support as part of her campaign as a conservative "outsider". That opposition became public when she needed to fend off Tea Party challenger Doug Collins in what went from a one-appointed-woman race to a three-way musical chairs race for a runoff.
When she ran to sustain her seat on Election Day in 2018, the incumbent Handel lost to an upstart politician and noted gun-control advocate, Lucy McBath, by 4,000 votes. (50.5-49.5%)
Hoping to ride on a Trumpwave with the 2020 presidential election, Handel challenged McBath again, for a suburban Congressional district that's 60 percent White (like Handel), 15 percent Black (like McBath), and comprised of Atlanta's toniest suburbs.
Handel lost. This time, decisively, by 32,000 votes. (54.3-45.7%)

Coming off her resounding victory, as Loeffler runs to QAnon congresspersons-elect for support, McBath is in a perfect position to help Warnock in the runoff. If Atlanta's northern suburbs aren't terribly wild about Handel, how are they going to feel about Loeffler?

Horrible to read this--and not surprising. Loeffler predictably gets worse and worse.
Anyway, thanks, Randy. Always makes me happy to see James Dolan called the name i gave him: Hideous Lord Jimmy. Even though he and his BFF, sexual harasser Isiah Thomas, are gone from the Liberty and the WNBA, the foul smell of those two lives on.

Thanks for sharing all this. So glad that McBath won. I vividly recall when Handel acted in such disgusting ways while at the Komen Foundation. (I'm a supporter of Planned Parenthood and wrote to Komen to protest.)
I hadn't realized that Handel had gone on to more ugly stuff in Georgia. I'm currently teaching a class on "Memoirs With a Social Conscience" at NYU. When I teach this class again in the future, Handel's memoir will NOT be one of the assigned readings.

| It is now even more crucial for WNBA players and all their supporters to get Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue out of the U.S. Senate via the January 5th runoffs in Georgia.

Have you joined the FB group to help with the US Senate runoffs in Georgia? Created today, immediate influx of over 400 followers. Lots of fundraising, letter writing and phone bank opportunities. One idea I like is for people to write and stamp post cards, then send in a package to a person in Georgia so they'll have a Georgia postmark.
If I had funding to do so, I'd go down there to canvas but I can't fund myself to do so. As a white female, I'd go wherever Stacey Abrams tells me to. She would know best where I could be effective. I imagine I'd be in the Atlanta suburbs, which are just six hrs from here in NC.

I will be supporting Ossoff and Warnock from New York, just as I have over the last six months. It's great that you're going to join this effort.
