Remember when Hillary said questioning legitimacy of elections was a 'threat to democracy'? Stacey Abrams sure doesn't

Shortly before the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton had a message for anybody who questions the legitimacy of U.S. elections:

Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election.

That’s a direct threat to our democracy.

After Clinton tweeted that, Democrats (Stacey Abrams possibly among them) applauded. Days later, Hillary lost the election, and, well, you know the rest. However, last year, Abrams was glad to have Clinton’s support in her run for Georgia governor:

Today, @HillaryClinton endorsed our people-powered campaign to move Georgia forward.

Thank you, Hillary Clinton, for your support and for helping us get out the vote before Tuesday’s election. United, we will win tomorrow – and turn Georgia blue in November. #TeamAbrams #gapol pic.twitter.com/yACXVdhiNY

Fast-forward the tape to this week, when Abrams was asked when she’d concede the Georgia gubernatorial election:

Stacey Abrams, fresh off her meeting with Joe Biden earlier today in DC, said someone outside asked if she’s ever going to concede the Georgia gubernatorial election.

Apparently questioning the legitimacy of elections is not a “threat to Democracy” when a Democrat does it.
