Stacey Abrams Actually Thinks She Won The Governor’s Election!!!
Never give up!
That’s what they say, right? Keep fighting and never quit.
Well, that’s a good philosophy, but it will only get you so far. Once a baseball game is over you don’t see anyone throwing the ball anymore out on the field.
If politics were a baseball game, Stacey Abrams would still be out on the field by herself throwing her own pitches trying to hit a couple more home runs.
What I mean is that she refuses to acknowledge that she lost the election for governor in Georgia.
Abrams said, “My larger point is, look, I won because we transformed the electorate, we turned out people who had never voted, we outmatched every Democrat in Georgia history. But voter suppression is endemic, and it’s having a corrosive effect. If we do not resolve this problem, it will harm us all.”
Abrams then continued:
“There are three things:
No. 1, I legally acknowledge that Brian Kemp secured a sufficient number of votes under our existing system to become the governor of Georgia. I do not concede that the process was proper, nor do I condone that process.
No. 2, I believe we won in that we transformed the electorate and achieved a dramatic increase in turnout. It was a systemic and, I think, sustainable change in the composition of the electorate and in the transformation of the narrative about Georgia and Georgia politics.
Three, I have no empirical evidence that I would have achieved a higher number of votes. However, I have sufficient and I think legally sufficient doubt about the process to say that it was not a fair election.”
According to the Washington Free Beacon,
Democrat Stacey Abrams said she is comfortable saying “I won” the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election because “something happened” regarding voter suppression to push Republican Brian Kemp to victory.
In an interview with New York Times Magazine, Abrams said she continues to claim victory because of the “totality of information” about the election and also because she transformed the Georgia electorate. Abrams lost by nearly 55,000 votes to Kemp in the closest Georgia governor’s race in decades, but she earned nearly 50,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton did in the state in 2016 and won more votes than any Democrat in state history.
However, she has continued to claim the race was stolen from her through voter suppression tactics by Kemp, who was secretary of state before being elected governor.
Can you imagine the ridicule that liberals would be dishing out on every mainstream media outlet if this were a Republican who was saying something like this?
One Twitter user said it best…
Imagine if a Republican did what @staceyabrams is doing…You lost. Just admit it.
