What About Stacey Abrams’ Concession Speech?

Watching Meet the Press usually manages to piss me off. But I do it anyway. Every Sunday morning, I reel up my DVR to watch Chuck Todd and his weird Caesar haircut to continue to advocate tirelessly for false equivocation. As thus it went today, as Todd was interviewing Sen. Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee. To be fair, Todd pressed Alexander pretty good regarding Preznit Carnage One-Term Loser's recalcitrance to acknowledge the true result of the 2020 preznential election. Alexander's position was that we'll know for sure what the result was on Monday when the electors vote, and golly, I sure hope Preznit Carnage One-Term Loser "puts the country first" (he won't), "takes pride in his considerable accomplishments" (whut?), and "congratulates the President-Elect and helps him get off to a good start" (fat chance). It only took three minutes for Alexander to submit to a "what-about." Todd: All right, I don't remember these same comments four years ago. On Hillary Clinton should get more time and all of this stuff. I mean do you see why it looks like a double standard? Alexander: WELL WHAT ABOUT STACEY ABRAMS' CONCESSION SPEECH? HAVE YOU FOUND IT YET? Todd did some huminah huminah and said that he's "not here to talk about Stacey Abrams." Well, let's. Since Todd was unprepared with the facts, let's clear the air on what Stacey Abrams did or did not do. Abrams did not concede, and in fact has continued to question the legitimacy of the 2020 election process in Georgia. I don't know where she might have gotten that wacky idea, considering that her opponent was Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp. You know. The fella what runs the elections and voter registration. On Nov. 18, Abrams spoke publicly, and she said: "I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election. "But to watch an elected official—who claims to represent the people of this state, baldly pin his hopes for election on the suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote—has been truly appalling. So, to be clear, this is not a speech of concession. "Concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede. But my assessment is that the law currently allows no further viable remedy." Alexander is technically correct; Abrams did not concede. But the dude is splitting hairs. She did acknowledge the official result. We will never get as much from the current Preznit.
