Stacey Abrams / PHOTO: AP ( Headline USA ) Democrat Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams claimed this week that her refusal to concede the 2018 governor’s race was nothing like former President Donald Trump’s attempts to challenge the 2020 presidential election.
Abrams, who lost in 2018 to Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp , denied in an interview with 19thNews that she exhibited an election denialism similar to Trump’s. She claimed she was only making a point about voting access by accusing Kemp and the GOP of suppressing votes for her, while Trump claimed widespread fraud cost him his election.
“The issues that I raised in 2018 were not grounded in making me the governor,” Abrams said. “Not a single lawsuit filed would have reversed or changed the outcome of the election. My point was that the access to the election was flawed, and I refuse to concede a system that permits citizens to be denied access. That is very different than someone claiming fraudulent outcome.
“I will never ever say that it is OK to claim fraudulent outcomes as a way to give yourself power,” she continued. “That is wrong. I reject it and will never engage in it. But I do believe that it is imperative, especially those who have the platform and the microphone, to talk about the access.”
Democrats have tried to use Trump’s efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election against the GOP, arguing that election deniers pose a “threat to democracy.” But Republicans have pointed out that many Democrats, including Abrams, have participated in the same behavior.
In fact, Abrams refused to concede to Kemp and accused him of using his position as secretary of state to intentionally suppress Democrat votes so that she would lose the election.
Abrams is losing to Kemp by a significant margin, according […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
