Abrams Continues Media Tour, Unloads on ‘Insidious’ Kemp After Georgia Election Loss

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.

Not a Georgian! I am a New Yorker! One of the few proud conservatives in this State.

She will be nicely set up for her next swing at political office.
We are going to get sick of this angry heffalump very soon.

If this comes to fruition, he'll have to respond.

If I live to be 100 years old, I will never never understand why George W. Bush did not respond to the attacks that he did nothing about Katrina.

This article from American Thinker explains the patrician bearing of the Bushes that makes them not respond to criticism whether it was George HW's passivity in the face of vicious attacks by Bill Clinton's twin attack dogs of Begala and Carville or George W's Katrina non-defense as you pointed out as well as his employ of the worst press secretary in history, Scott McClelllan, who did more damage than W's enemies: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2012/06/civility_and_the_legacy_of_george_w_bush.html

The last two years of #TDS / Trump Derangement Syndrome demonstrate conclusively those days are long gone where our Left is concerned. The Bush years (Dubya) weren’t great, as far as that goes.

I really like that quote in mortman’s post a few above yours. I assume that’s Kemp’s statement?

The City of Atlanta proper is only around 10-12% of the metro Atlanta population. The state is about 30% black.

No, it was my own statement that I wish Kemp would give.

Hitlery set a precedent. When Republicans lose they slink off to never be heard again. Democrats go on self-pity tours.

Good for him for not taking the bait.

His only comment should be: Fat and Stupid is no way to go through life.

Then what would you suggest the response should be, be a Bush and say nothing?
