There’s something to be said for knowing how to lose with dignity.
Stacey Abrams might be the last person to say it. She’s the governor of Georgia only in her own mind, but that’s not stopping her from taking her sore loser sideshow on a national tour:
There's a new push to make sure every eligible ballot is counted in 2020. @staceyabrams' new organization #FairFight2020 is working to ensure that all voters have access to the polls.

In a sane world, Stacey Abrams would be treated by the media as the lying fraud and human punchline that she is. But we’re not in a sane world, are we? So we’re stuck with the media indulging delusional behavior like this:
Why haven’t you conceded?

The only crime in which Stacey Abrams is complicit is perpetuating an outright false narrative about the Georgia gubernatorial election. If she’s going to insist on throwing a tantrum over her loss, that’s fine. But she needs to do it in private instead of subjecting the rest of us to her shameless BS.

Still with this sore loser?

She’s become absolutely insufferable ?

Someone – please give her that participation trophy already! She needs to go home now.

She lost by 55k votes in an election that saw the highest turnout in GA’s history… In what way wasn’t it fair?

She lost by 55,000 votes with the highest African American turnout in history then claims she was cheated. Put an R by her name and CBS would never have her on air unless it was to mock her idiocy.

Process was fair. You lost. Stop grandstanding to raise pac money to fund your travel. https://t.co/kK2Ltu5ltx

And while we’re at it, the media aren’t doing themselves any favors by amplifying Abrams, either.
The media double standard for how they treat "not accepting election results" is gross.

Dear CBS,
She clearly lost. Stop giving her a platform.

She lost by over 50,000 votes! Honestly are all of you on that show and her that stupid? My apologies that is a rhetorical question and I know the answer.
