Stacey Abrams Won???t Go Away

The loser of the Georgia governor???s race builds a political career on failure.

Since losing the 2018 Georgia governor???s race, Stacey Abrams has given self-pity a bad name. ???I did win,??? Ms. Abrams still insists, making fantastic claims of a stolen election. She says Republican Gov. Brian Kemp holds the office only because ???it was not a free and fair election.??? Never mind his 54,723-vote margin of victory; she???s hoping that repeating a falsehood will make it true and pave her way to the governorship in 2022, if not the presidency in 2020.
How did Democrats respond to Ms. Abrams???s unsupported and incendiary charges?
