Washington Post analysis says Stacey Abrams 'played up' stolen election claims until it was 'untenable'

The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler, editor and writer for The Fact Checker feature of the paper, wrote in a piece published on Thursday that Abrams' many claims that she "won" the 2018 gubernatorial election in Georgia, or her declaring that the election was "stolen" in 2018 look "different" now because of former President Donald Trump.
"But what might have appeared at the time as a savvy appeal to voters who felt disenfranchised looks different now that Trump and his GOP allies have taken election denialism to a dangerous new level," he wrote.
