INGRAHAM: Here to respond is Georgia senator, Kelly Loeffler. Senator, why does Abrams keep getting a free pass to spread these types of conspiracy theories?

SEN. KELLY LOEFFLER, R-GA: Well, look, Laura, everyone who wants to vote in this election who's eligible to vote is going to get to vote. It's really an excuse for why she lost the election in 2018. And she's creating a roadmap of excuses for Biden, when President Trump gets reelected in November. And he's going to get reelected because he knows how to create jobs that lift everyone in this economy up.

He knows how to stand with our law enforcement, he strengthened our military, he helps Americans be safe and secure. And that's going to be completely evident when we get our chance to be on stage next week, and that's what Americans want. They want that certainty that security in their communities and in their jobs. And this is a -- this is a distraction to talk about voter suppression, to talk about the United States Postal Service. They are distracting from their lack of a platform that lifts all Americans up.

INGRAHAM: And here's what she said last night on MSNBC, watch.

ABRAMS: What Brian Kemp did in plain sight was what they've been operationalizing for 20 years. He just decided to do it on steroids and in front of the cameras, that they're trying to force people into early voting or voting on Election Day, because they also have a plan for 50,000 people to serve as poll intimidators, to show up at those polling places, and do what works so well, which is scare people out of voting.

INGRAHAM: I mean, this is -- this is just the wackiest thing I've ever heard. I mean, I remember years ago was the new black panther party that was, you know, playing games at some of the polling stations as I recall, but suddenly there's a thousand magical people showing up to intimidate people. Again, she keeps getting away with this and people on television, just say how eloquent she is.

LOEFFLER: Well, it's absolutely fact free. None of that's true. It's a -- it's a fiction that would explain why she lost other than the fact that Georgia elected Governor Kemp and rightly so, he's leading our state out of this pandemic, helping our state grow during a challenging time.

What Georgians want to hear about, and I've been around the state talking to Georgians, they want to know, when can kids get back into school, when will their jobs be certain, how do we get the economy back on its feet. And they're seeing -- they're saying -- they're thanking me every day for supporting President Trump in this effort to get our economy rebuilt to get that blue-collar boom going.

INGRAHAM: Yes, Senator, there's a lot of fearmongering, racial fearmongering, virus fearmongering, and now voting fearmongering. Thank you so much. Great to see you, Senator.
