Stacey Abrams's refusal to concede was justified but Trump's isn't, Warnock says

Georgia Democratic Senate challenger Raphael Warnock argued 2018 Democratic gubernatorial Stacey Abrams's refusal to concede was different from President Trump's lawsuits contesting this cycle's White House race.

"Listen, suppression is something that happens all across our country. It's happened here in the state of Georgia," he said during his Sunday debate against Republican incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

Warnock claimed Abrams acknowledged Republican Gov. Brian Kemp would eventually be governor, even if she didn't concede. In comparison, Trump and Loeffler haven't acknowledged Biden's win, Warnock said.

The Loeffler-Warnock Senate special election runoff is one of two runoffs in Georgia on Jan. 5. The races will decide which party controls the Senate next Congress. Sitting Republican Sen. David Purdue is simultaneously running against Democratic filmmaker Jon Ossoff.

Cleaning voter rolls is corrupt but rigging voting machines and photocopying ballots isn't. Only in a rat's mind.

Warnock is flailing about to justify his tribe's hypocrisy.  And too damn many Republicans are engaging in similar hypocrisy.  Abrams lost.  So did Trump.  That doesn't mean the fight is over.  But it does mean we must accept the verdict of the people.
