Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams appeared on Fox News Sunday, where she was pressed on a number of subjects.  Abrams is trailing in the polls, and appears to be on track to lose to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp -- again.  In 2018, Abrams lost by more than 50,000 votes, but has spent the last four years enriching herself and raising her national profile by claiming that result was illegitimate.  This made her a star within her party, which pretends to otherwise horrified by election trutherism, with numerous top Democratic officials indulging and affirming...…Georgia's Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams appeared on Fox News Sunday, where she was pressed on a number of subjects.  Abrams is trailing in the polls, and appears to be on track to lose to Republican Gov.
