Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams hit back at Donald Trump’s accusation that the two-time nominee for governor was a paragon of wasteful government spending.

During Tuesday night’s address to Congress , Trump ” rattled off a list of questionable projects that received federal funding,” including, “$1.9 billion to recently created decarbonization of homes committee headed up — and we know she’s involved —just at the last moment, the money was passed over by a woman named Stacey Abrams. Have you ever heard of her?”

Republican lawmakers in the House chamber booed and jeered at the mention of her name. CNN’s John Berman asked Wednesday what her response was to Trump.

“That he is trying to distract Americans from his failure to deliver on any of his promises, and instead of doing his work, he’s going after those of us who are actually doing the work of the American people,” Abrams responded.

“I am very proud of the work that i’ve done to protect voting rights, to lower the cost of energy for real people in the state of Georgia, and working with organizations that want to do it around the country, because Donald Trump is failing in his promises and focusing on petty retribution instead of fulfilling his promises to the American people.”

Berman then asked what Abrams’ “connection” was to the organization that got the federal funding Trump mentioned.

“I led a project in southwest Georgia that has lowered the cost of energy for struggling families, and I’m extraordinarily proud of that work. And because of that work, because of the work of five major organizations around this country who have done more than 250 years of service combined, the Biden administration authorized a grant.”

Abrams continued, and took a dig at Trump.

“I did not work for the entity that received the grant, ultimately — I worked for one of the partner organizations, but I was very much a part of pushing and showing America that we have the ability to lower prices, that the money is there, the will is there, the capacity is there. But what is not there is Donald Trump and his lackeys’ willingness to actually let American people get the benefit of these services.”
