Stacey Abrams Dodges on Whether She Considers Brian Kemp a Legitimate Governor-Elect

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: “You're not using the word legitimate. Is he the legitimate governor-elect of Georgia?”
ABRAMS: “He is the legal governor of Georgia. Words have meaning. I spent my lifetime not only as an attorney but as a writer and I'm careful of the words I choose. When he takes the oath of office he will be the legal governor of the state of Georgia, the legal Victor. What you are looking to me to say is that there was no compromise of our democracy and there should be some political compromise in the language I use and that's not right. What's not right is saying that something was done properly when it was not. I will never deny the legal premature that says he is in this position and I pray for his success. But will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and disenfranchisement of thousands of voters? I do not.”
