Abrams Continues Media Tour, Unloads on ‘Insidious’ Kemp After Georgia Election Loss
freebeacon.com ^ | David Rutz

While Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is continuing to unload on Republican Governor-elect Brian Kemp since losing the election last week, he's not firing back, saying what she does with her time is her own business.

Abrams acknowledged defeat 10 days after the election on Friday, trailing by nearly 55,000 votes and more than 17,000 votes short of forcing a runoff. However, she did not give a normal concession speech, blasting her opponent as an architect of voter suppression and saying the "state failed its voters."

Since announcing the formation of a new group called "Fair Fight Georgia" and stating "major" litigation will be filed against Georgia over the election, Abrams has embarked on a national media tour and ripped Kemp every step of the way.

Asked to respond to her rhetoric, Kemp told the Washington Free Beacon in a statement that it was time to move on and Abrams could say what she pleased.

...

Abrams also appeared to reject a professor's argument in Slate that Democrats should not call the election "stolen." Richard L. Hasen, professor of law and political science at the University of California–Irvine School of Law, argued such rhetoric further eroded American faith in the electoral process.

Duh.....Folks let’s face it, Stacey Abrams, Andrew Gillum, Barack Hussein Obama, Maxine Waters, Joe Biden, Beto O’Rourke, are either approaching lunacy or there already. Certainly Abrams and Obama are certifiable insane!!!

An old boss credo...”Young man, if you are born dumb, and you know it, you will so just fine on the Merry-Go-Round of life, but, if you are born dumb, and think you are smart, you will have a very unstable, unhappy, and failed ride on the Merry-Go-Round of life!!! Amen!!!

If he responds with “force” the media will paint him as a bully and a racist. It’s really best he take the high road and let her go down Hillary Lane and act like a child denied her bicycle.

Get motorvoter in, early voting, absentee voting by mail in, provisional ballots, do away with Electoral College, etc. Wake up.

What a pathetic sore loser. Shut up! We’re celebrating Thanksgiving. One of the things I give thanks for is that this cretin lost.

I may not know Kemp or Georgia, but I do know the RNC and the Congressional Republican leadership, and they need a complete and total overhaul.

Democrats, when they can't cheat, have really become ungracious losers.

Even worse losers are those that cheat like the devil and still lose, those losers are livid for years (ala Hillary).

We’re careening toward civil war here. Politics is no longer about persuading voters of the merits of your argument; it is now about how can get more of “their voters” to the polls. A disturbing trend . . .

Another racist leftard who has built her entire existence on her blackness.

* * *

A crazy theory is percolating in my head, Vlad.

It's this: Abrams' blackness per se is insufficient to draw all those Hollywood and Yankee types to support her.

Maybe there's also the element of a poor, in debt, XXXL female.  I read the Time Magazine cover story about Abrams several weeks ago, and it was selling a stereotype.

It painted Abrams as this "Aw Shucks" poor Southern country girl with the gap between her teeth -- and fond of chattering with her cousins and aunts.

So maybe some of that narrative attracted the Progressive powers that be. "How dare a successful, white, and thin man (Kemp) oppose a woman of destiny!"

So are the Dems setting Abrams up as the next glass ceiling breaking POTUS?  Is America ready for the first very large female, deadbeat, poor, and unaccomplished Presidential candidate?

Am I crazy of what?

That’s fine. You work on your state

We still have run off elections. This was a particularly nasty and lengthy election cycle in Georgia. Folks need a respite. Soon enough the battle will be on again

She wants same day registration and no ID voting.

She wants to destroy one of the only sane state’s election laws and intends to use the Federales to do it.

She MAY find a Federal judge somewhere to agree with her, but it’ll never pass muster at the USSC.

And her efforts will not overturn the lawful election in Georgia.

And her and her kind will not get the legal changes they are looking for in the courts.

All of Georgia’s election laws are Constitutional in spite of their “disparate impact”.

We are already in a civil war. It's just a cold war for the most part at this time.

Liberals don't just want to win elections, they want to destroy the Constitution and change our form of government.

He should respond forcefully to the charge of voter supression. He and every Republican office holder should make it clear that it is time to purge the voter roles of the dead, non-resident college students, and those registered in two states. If you are a part time resident of Florida but have a New York State drivers license you are probably still a resident of New York.

It is not about arguing with Stacy. It is about refuting the charges of voter suppression. He needs to make it clear that it is time to purge the voter lists of the dead and those who have moved away.
