Bottoms said she was against Kemp, a Republican, deploying the National Guard to Atlanta, adding that the move was made without consulting her or other city officials.
Asked about the uptick in violence in recent days in Atlanta, Bottoms blamed it on"a perfect storm of distress in America." Bottoms, who has been talked about as a potential running mate for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, also expressed disappointment in the governor for reopening the economy while the state is still in the throes of the pandemic. Georgia is one of several states that continue to see a rising number of coronavirus cases.On Monday, the Georgia Department of Public Health confirmed 97,064 coronavirus cases in the state, an increase of 6,571 cases since Friday.
Might it POSSIBLY be because of her opening her stupid mouth so much instead of the State's reopening?
Moron
Yall will be fine
You should learn how to practice good hygiene.
Perhaps you could have not joined the protest and been smart Just saying.
Ms Keisha Lance I really hope that you get better soon I'm sending you my prayers and love for you and your family! In the name of Jesus!
KLB, let the Governor do his job! You tried for peaceful protest but murder, armed protestors and CHOP create chaos and havoc. Nice effort and good thoughts but you failed with all the best intentions.
Well this post is going well for you ABC. Nearly 100% call out of fake and misleading news. No wonder your days are number edd and yet the answer was right before you ... be truthful, fair and journalistic.
Nice play mayor. First it was vilify the police and now Covid. This will surely move you up in VP selection process. If you can incorporate a hospital stay it could be a lock.
She chose her own consequences!
Get well soon. You and your family are in my prayers.🙏
Trump gave me the virus
Can’t blame everything on COVID or reopening the economy. Also lots of blame yo go around but no accountability. Big problem with that these days
A black life matter thing
Stay home not protesting
She’ll be fine
what? I l really KeishaBottoms like her, but she has to stop making such wide assertions. People need to work. Protocols need to be strict. A whole family getting it, means not enough protocol was in place at home. But if they are not sick --- you have no way to know.
Paying the price for protesting...
Praying for your family and a speedy recovery. you’ve done an amazing job keep the fight you’ll get through this you’re very strong and Atlanta needs you.
Nothing to do with the massive BLM terrorists protests? Hmm. It's magical how this virus works!
Karma a bitch.... enjoy 😉
Any push back on her protest photo-ops and how they may relate to the COVID incubation period, journalist?
She's paying the price for being in large crowds protesting.
Or protesting
Oh so it had nothing to do with your bs marching with a Marxist social movement
Oh my God stfu! You've had protests all over the state. This is complete and utter garbage lying every day and these people just get away with it. Way too many people see through it
Obviously she’s not that sick. Shows how this virus is a sham. It’s a longer flu.
I guess not wearing a mask in the middle of the protesters did not help her much !!
♾❤️♾
We’re waiting for an apology.
Wait! Reopening too soon is the reason that you have tested positive? That’s almost as stupid as your reason for the crime spike. Hello!? You didn’t practice social distancing, wash your hands and wear your mask! Ask Dr. Fauci. You just failed in both instances! Simple.
Hanging out with protesters for photo ops probably didn't help, but stay true to your culture.... there is always someone else to blame right?
Oh conveniently cowers after supporting Terrorist , destroying faith in atl police , empowering criminals ,releasing criminal from prison and she failed to do 1 top priority of maintaining peace. Recall Election! Remove this cancer!
No b!tch I t was because you were out protesting without a f’king mask. Take responsibility for your actions!
Or was it the price of protesting with thousands of other people closely packed together ?
Her city welcomed violent protestors. She owns it.
She always blame others her 2 brain cell not that bright Has she been wearing mask Does she wash hands frequently Does she shower at least once a day Did she keep distance was she w looters hoarding bubba shoes & torching wendys Black Mayor DA PC & state still has black problem
So she blames someone else for her actions. If she was concerned about the state opening it’s economy so soon, she and her family should have stayed home. I bet she participated in a few protests along the way.
It's good to see virus hasn't affected mayor's cognitive ability to demagogue issue and disingenuously try to pass blame to the governor, after she encouraged mass protests in Atlanta. But, yeah, 'reopened too soon.' Sure. Best wishes to her and family, anyhow.
What is a low-positive test. Either you have it or not.
Or maybe not participate in a march with no social distancing.
It's going to constantly be the same cycle without another lockdown, because, folks are out there working and doing other things in the midst of no vaccine, and too many as well as companies won't follow the rules.
The opening of the state had nothing to do with it. It has to do with her out marching in the streets with the other protesters, rioters and looters. She isn’t fooling anyone with how she contracted COVID.
do you know how many people I know that has that statistical value of catching Covid...ZERO Citizens being shot, blames Trump for mess then Covid conveniently crashes the family. Bet Jestin& Felipe are cussing Bottoms playing Rock paper scissors to who is going to clear the mess
Paying the price? When you were interviewed you said you had no symptoms and didn't know you had it.
Maybe walking with the protesters
The price is for letting the gangs run free.
It was rough for my son. He said the roughest part for him was the coughing. I know she will make it through, but I just believe Gov. Kemp needs to do a lockdown. The hospitals are sure to go full compacity if not.
Noooo - you are paying the price for protesters gone wild. Businesses have opened correctly - your 'peaceful protesters' are causing the problem. BUT - MSM loves a good fantasy with a fantasy virus
Lol
She goes out maskless, yelling in massive crowds, but 'reopening the economy too soon' is to blame.
Now talk about how she tweeted that she’s had ZERO SYMPTOMS!
Or could it be marching with protestors? Hmmmmm 🤔
And the media still would not admit that the spreading of coronavirus lately has nothing to do with protesting in huge crowds without masks on. This is unbelievably sad!
Wear a mask and practicewhatyoupreach
Moron .....no mask?
Let me guess...no symptoms though.
She 100% got it at a 'peaceful protest,' but whatevs...
Is she still on TV. I guess she’s fine. No panic
How do you know Keisha Bottoms is lying? Her mouth is moving.
I thought masks work?
Covid protection personal distancing proper hygiene those are all personal choices not the state opening
Are they sure it wasn’t the protests a couple weeks ago? 🤡
Why was she out with protesters! Any mother knows they must protect their children!
Being at protest without a mask has nothing to do with it?
Here she is two weeks ago at the protests, but somehow it's the fault of allowing people to get haircuts.
What? You were protesting without a mask with others not wearing a mask! Take responsibility.
Haha
BS !
99.8% recovery rate! What came 1st Pluto the Pup or Pluto the Planet? Disney go peddle your fearmongering somewhere else. Keep fighting patriots.
Didn't YOU obey the social distancing and wearing a mask.? You're own fault 😂
so she basically has the common cold and the state has to be shut down. Idiot TV watchers.
hanging out with the protesters had nothing at all to do with it right?
Always blame whitey.
Right the economy not the protesting 🤦♂️
LMAO couldn’t happen to a better group of people LNAO ✊🏻👌🏻✊🏻
🤣 you all participated in this.....
