Stacey Abrams hammers Kemp following reports cancellation of Atlanta music festival linked to Georgia gun laws

Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is hammering incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp following reports that the cancellation of Music Midtown, an annual Atlanta music festival, was due to Georgia's permissive gun laws.

In an exclusive statement provided to Fox News Digital, Abrams accused Kemp of putting his views on guns ahead of Georgia's economy, and blasted him over the loss of jobs and investment that she said the state would have gotten from the thousands of people expected to attend the festival.

"Brian Kemp is putting a dangerous agenda on guns ahead of Georgia's economy and growing jobs," Abrams said in the statement.
