KAYLEIGH MCENANY (CO-HOST): So it seems Democrats are trying to gaslight voters. Stacey Abrams actually claimed she didn't want to defund the police in a debate with Gov. Brian Kemp, although she has said that in the past. Let's watch.

STACEY ABRAMS: I did not say and nor do I believe in defunding the police, he is lying again. And I've never said that I believe in defunding the police.

STACEY ABRAMS: What people are talking about is transformation. We have to rethink what we do because what we're doing doesn't work. Our broader conversation has to be how do we transform what we see as public safety so that the entire public can be safe.

MCENANY: She's never said it, except she has, and we'll bring you the receipts in just a moment.

JULIE BANDERAS (FOX NEWS ANCHOR): And as far as Stacey Abrams is concerned, by her accusing her Republican opponent, saying that he just wants to take Black people off the streets is disgusting, because if you look at the homicide rates and you look at the crime in this country, especially in Democratic cities, where is crime happening? In minority neighborhoods. So here you have a Black governor who, you know, a campaign for governor who is basically denying the protection to her own people, and it's shameful.
MCENANY: But she pays for private security, let's never forget that about good old Stacey.
