Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin attempted to mock Stacey Abrams as a “literal loser” on Tuesday.

It didn’t go well.

Abrams, a rising star in the Democratic Party after losing a closer-than-expected race in deep red Georgia, has been tapped to deliver the response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address next week.
