A viral social media post claimed that Stacey Abrams founded an NGO that received $2 billion in taxpayer dollars just 30 days later, along with two other nonprofits she started. It alleged her sister, Dr. Jeanine Abrams McLean, was appointed president of Fair Count, a voter mobilization group for Black voters unrelated to green energy, and that funds flowed through the Tides Center’s Southern Economic Advancement Project to “Hamas protest groups,” calling it “incestuous” money laundering to Democratic activists.
In a June 4, 2025, House DOGE Subcommittee hearing, Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) questioned witness Diane Yentel on these ties during review of Inflation Reduction Act green energy grants. The $2 billion actually went to Power Forward Communities, a 2023 coalition (including Rewiring America, where Abrams served as senior counsel until late 2024)
Exposing the story, a viral post read, “WOW 🚨 Remember when it got exposed, Stacey Abrams founded an NGO and got sent $2 billion taxpayer dollars 30 days later? That wasn’t the only one. SHE FOUNDED 2 MORE.”
“She appointed her sister as President of one. Money connected to FUNDING STREET PROTEST GROUPS was also discovered paid through an NGO established by Democrat’s Tides Center,” the same source added to expose the corruption.
Additionally, a video included with the post added more context. Rep. Pat Fallon began, “Once Stacey Abrams got that money, just so happens that two other nonprofits that she founded, Fair Count, have you ever heard of that one?”
After the witness Diane Yentel answered in the affirmative, he carried on saying, “Madam Chair, I reclaim my time with views administration. Please freeze the time you’re here to testify and answer questions, and you will not answer the questions you don’t know what fair count is. I asked the question, do you know or not?… have you ever heard of it? You never heard it? Okay?”
“It’s a voter mobilization group for black voters that does nothing whatsoever to do with green energy,” he added, “And do you know just so happens is a mystery of the universe. It’s coincidence that the president of that organization is a gal named her name is Janine McLean. Her middle name is Abrams, because that’s her maiden name. She’s Stacey Abrams’s sister. It’s a miracle. You want to talk about incestuous.”

“I mean the tide center also was running an organization called Southern Economic Advancement Project. They got money as well, and they fund a lot of Hamas protest groups across the country. So this is incestuous Madam Chair. It’s back dealing money laundering from nonprofits,” he explained.

The Texas Republican stated, “Everyone up on this diet supports true charitable nonprofits, not political nonprofits or basically government organizations, because it’s funneling money into the pockets of democratic activists. Nothing. More. Case in point.”
