Two-time failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams lashed out at CNN this week, falsely claiming that the network was spreading “disinformation” about remarks that she did, in fact, make after losing her first gubernatorial campaign in 2018.
Abrams got into a spat with CNN host Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday night after Collins brought up how Abrams denied the results of the 2018 election and insisted that she had won and that the election was stolen.
“I do remember the time you told The New York Times, I won,” Collins noted. “You did describe it as a stolen election. The courts did side with the Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, in some of the challenges as well.”
Abrams fired back: “Kaitlan, that’s actually incorrect. And normally, I wouldn’t cut you off. But you’re repeating disinformation.”
Abrams said that she has “never claimed to be the Governor of Georgia,” which is not something that Collins ever accused her of saying.
After losing her election, Abrams refused to concede and claimed dozens of times that “it was a stolen election.”
In 2019, Abrams claimed: “I didn’t lose. I got the votes. But we won’t know exactly how many because of how they cheated.”
She also claimed in 2019 that she knows in her “heart of hearts, we won.”
