Social media users are pointing to a 2018 exchange between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, both contenders in the current gubernatorial race for the battleground state of Georgia. Some, however, appear to think the scene is from a debate in 2022.
“YES! Stacey Abrams just destroyed Republican Governor Brian Kemp at tonight’s debate after he accused her of voter fraud, reminding him that a federal judge found that HE “illegally canceled over 34,000 voter registrations” after she sued him. RT IF YOU SUPPORT STACEY ABRAMS!,” reads a tweet posted on Aug. 31 and retweeted over 10,000 times (here).

THE VERDICT:
Misleading. Social media users are referring to a response Abrams gave to Kemp during a debate in 2018. The exchange did not occur during the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial race.
