Backlash over controversial flyer aimed at Stacey Abrams prompts Forsyth Republicans to cancel rally
A flyer from the Forsyth County Republican Party is sparking anger, with some calling it racist and dangerous, especially given the county’s violent past in race relations.
The flyer came out just days before a barbecue meet-and-greet for gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams Sunday in Cumming. The backlash prompted the county’s Republican party to cancel its own rally, which was planned for the same time Sunday.
The flyer announces “a call to action to save and protect our neighborhoods, our communities and our county!”
It goes on to say the “designers of destructive radicalism and socialism are crossing over our county border and into Cumming THIS Sunday.”
