Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Announces She Is Not Running For Re-Election | NBC News
Yeah thanks put someone in who will curve the street crime
Wackanda forever
I'll help you pack
I just read the New York Mag article, "Why Did Keisha Lance Bottoms Quit." It appears she was, while trying to strike a balance, caught in the middle of polarizing "pick-a-side" politics! Having to let young protesters know that Atlanta is not the city to tear up; that Black people built that town. And another side that wanting to crack down on crime, by any means, even if it meant innocent folk affected. And just like David Dinkins, here in New York, decades ago, having to deal with a mostly white Staten Island borough secession talk, she had to respond to Buckhead wanting out of Atlanta! Tough situation for her. My only four-day stay, in ATL, I found the city absolutely remarkable; with every doggone establishment I frequented being Black owned! My prayers are for the continued growth of Atlanta, and to get through its challenges!
WORST MAYOR EVER!!!!!!!!! She is awful! Maybe she'll go off to her house on the Vineyard! The ultimate hypocrite!
Don't run again you are a terrible mayor you are responsible for this 8year old girl being murdered it's on your hands resign now we in Atlanta are disgusted with you and your Derek good riddance 🎉😺ðŸŽÅÂ
Best news for Atlanta
Excellent news
Best thing to ever come out of her mouth
She’s going to run for governor Or US senator. If not then something is wrong.
Praise God!!good riddance
Prob a crapoy politician but she baddddddd I'd go fishing with her…..amiright
Good for Atlanta, one of the most worthless mayors ever. Right up there with Chiraq's Lightweight.
She’s a total nut job, she basically took away her police departments ability to do their jobs, and consequently crime is highest level ever in the city, oh wait a minute, it’s trumps fault. Get lost
Hands down Bottoms exits as the absolute worst public non servant.
The mayor is stepping down
But she is stepping up her security
while defunding the COPS
Laws for me but not for thee
Looks like BLM again ????
Oh My GOD I'm so happy
If you can't run a household, you can't run anything
Bye Felica! 😂
BOTTOMS time is UP
Run again
She's over here trying to set a pregnant black woman up to be killed on Piedmont that was starved by the KKK and pregnant she is a fraud come to my channel they are trying to set me up to be killed right now I'll be mad because the KKK starts me and Conroe Texas and I'm putting out the evidence about what they allowed gang members to do to me in that City she's allowing that Atlanta police to try to murder me because I'm pregnant and because the baby is still alive
😥
Very divisive, this woman.
Thank goodness, I’m sure the city of Atlanta will be glad to get rid of this racist
All these liberal govenors let blm terrorize their constituents, to help biden win a election
The reason she's stepping down because she had an agenda she wanted to push and 2020 messed it up.
Enjoy your ill gotten gains Madam Mayor. You are a grifter who hurts black people while claiming to help them. We only have a short time in this world to do what is right by God. You have only been doing what is beneficial to yourself. We all will have our day coming when we must face judgment in the next world. There still is time for you to change your ways and attempt to make amends for the bad that you have done. The question is, will you? I doubt it, you selfish and evil woman. I dare you to prove me wrong.
