Gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams and Gov. Brian Kemp clash over how to handle high crime in Georgia
Fox News
While incumbent Governor Brian Kemp claims Stacey Abrams wants to defund the police, Abrams says he is lying and that his policies are "dangerous."
"I do not believe in defunding the police," Abrams said Tuesday in an interview with Fox News. "I’ve repeatedly said that. Brian Kemp is lying. He’s taking my words out of context, and he is denying the meaning of what I have said and what I have done."
In response Wednesday, the governor told Fox News again that Abrams wants to defund the police and said, "the good thing for Georgians is, despite her telling people that I’m lying, they know that I’ve been a truthful governor. I mean, people may disagree with certain policies I’ve done… but they know I’ve been truthful with them… and they know dang well I have stood with our men and women in law enforcement."
