Lucy McBath

Yes, we do.

Lucy McBath.

She I mean, it's not for all intents and purposes.

She lives there.

But then there's this other sports story that's kind of come out in the last couple of days.

I can't wait to talk to McBath about it.

I guess it's the great-grandson, but it's a generational offspring of the chief, whose pose that you saw on the Washington Redskins helmets.

Yeah, the profile.

Ooh.

We remember Lucy McBath decided she wasn't going to run.

At that point in time, I believe Mayor Bottoms decided that that was her cue to step up.

Plaza said, then again, I was so new and didn't have the whole picture.

That just made me feel more empowered to take action because I knew that's why it was written, so that we could, as citizens, have a say in our government.

I decided to email my congressperson, Representative Lucy McBath, and my two senators just to ask what is their understanding of the role of the legislative branch in providing a check upon the Supreme Court.

And I did receive back two responses, one from Representative McBath and one from Raphael Warnock.

It was very detailed answers, which I was really impressed with.

My personal rule is that, you know, number one, don't F with my kids, and that's where K through 30, that's, that's, like, the, the heart of it all.

Um, one thing I wanted to point out, and I talked with Representatives Lucy McBath and Johanna Hayes, uh, both are, you know, staunch children's advocates, but Lucy McBath lost her son to gun violence, and Representative Hayes represents, uh, Sandy Hook.

And both of them, you know, shared with me the fact that we have a bipartisan, uh, safer communities law that was funded and then defunded.

And so we can do all of the hardening that we want to, but if we don't do the investments in mental health, if we don't do the things that take, uh, time to prevent these incidents from ever beginning, um, from the thoughts from ever happening, uh, then we've failed our children.

... who else was running for governor, uh, or, uh, you know, for, for the Democratic Party other than, uh, um, uh, Keisha Lance Bottoms.

And so because we didn't have a Lucy McBath, because Stacey Abrams didn't make a third go at this and it was just sort of a default, "All right, well, she's, she's the next one because we recognize that name," she, she just kinda found herself-

Yeah

... uh, uh, you know, lapping the entire electorate.

They actually had, I think, um, from people who've launched, you know, exploratory committees and, and, and donor conversations, two other potential nominees.

They were looking at Congresswoman Lucy McBath from the northern suburbs.

Um, she ironically is the one who actually succeeded in winning the district that John Ossoff lost in the special election, um, even though, you know, he now is heavily favored to win and is now a presidential contender potentially.

Um, and there was Jason Carter, um, who is I believe the grandson of, um, you know, former President Jimmy Carter.

So let's go all the way back to Au- August 12th, uh, where the CBC, the Congressional Black Caucus, formally writes to the DOJ, uh, and the FBI, requesting an immediate federal review.

Then again on August 13th, uh, Representative Lucy McBath also asked for a full federal investigation.

Then we bump up to October 5th, where Representative Wilson, Frederica Wilson, asked for a federal investigation.

And then now, uh, as, uh, Daniel mentioned, October 5th, the press conference from this week, where Congresswoman Maxine Waters, uh, along with the family and Attorney Crump, have asked for a consist- uh, asked again for an investigation.
