His tips included “be yourself,” “be the fighter we know you are,” and “keep snacks handy” because the president will talk longer than expected.

A little advice for @staceyabrams as she prepares our Democratic rebuttal:

-Be yourself, you’ll crush it

-He’ll talk longer than you expect so keep snacks handy

-Be the fighter we know you are

-Misplace your chapstick

-You have millions of Americans standing with you

Good luck! — Rep. Joe Kennedy III (@RepJoeKennedy) January 29, 2019

The Massachusetts Democrat also included a line telling her to "misplace" her chapstick, a reference to the mocking he received on social media last year about his shiny lips when delivering the response to the State of the Union speech, which he later blamed on lip balm.

Joe Kennedy needs to ease up on the lip gloss and the pre-speech Red Bull. — Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) January 30, 2018

“Yo give your lips a wipe, your lip balm looks shiny and weird”- not the person hanging out with Joe Kennedy before he went on. — Austen Fletcher (@fleccas) January 30, 2018

Kennedy ended his advice by wishing Abrams good luck, telling her that “millions of Americans” were standing with her.

Democratic leadership announced on Tuesday that Abrams has been selected to refute Trump’s speech.

She previously served as the Democratic leader of the Georgia General Assembly before she narrowly lost her November bid against Republican Brian Kemp for governor in a hotly contested election.
