Stacey Abrams Goes Viral with Her Criticisms of Georgia's New Elections Law

Stacey Abrams came ready.

When Republican Sen. John Kennedy asked Abrams during a hearing on Tuesday to "give me a list" of things with which she disagrees in Georgia's new election law, the politician-turned-prominent voting rights activist listed off her concerns.

The back and forth has since been seen by millions of people on social media.

"Stacey Abrams knows her facts," tweeted longtime news anchor Dan Rather.

He's a lawyer, and not too bright, so I'll excuse him for making the mistake, "Never Ask a Question to Which You Do Not Know the Answer".

He’s a “fishing” type of attorney. Sometimes you catch something much bigger than you can handle. She is a wonderful force of good and I do hope she wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Love Stacey!

It worked for Spence, but the whole act has gotten really old.

Google, for those who don't know him. He was quite famous at the height of his career-- in many well known cases.

is too dumb to know the first rule of cross examining a witness...never ask a question you don't know the answer to...however, given Kennedy's "questions" are based on bullshit lies, it's no surprise Stacy kicked his butt..
