Donald Trump has transformed campaign lies into presidential propaganda.
After it was announced that Hillary Clinton would be supporting Jill Stein in her attempt to procure a vote count in many key states, the Trump campaign had remained silent. That is no more. The president-elect took to Twitter this morning (November 27) and fought back.
“Hillary Clinton conceded the election when she called me just prior to the victory speech and after the results were in,” Trump tweeted. “Nothing will change.”
Later in the day, he claimed that he won fair-and-square and if anything, also won the popular vote if one deducts “the millions of people who voted illegally.”
Not only is Trump’s assertion that millions voted illegally very false, his attempts at quoting Hillary Clinton may be more laughable. “That’s horrifying. That’s not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around 240 years,” he quoted Clinton saying at the time. “We’ve had free and fair elections and we’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election. President Obama said the other day that when you’re whining before the game is even finished it just shows you’re not even up to doing the job.”
Oh yeah, you’re really worried about the integrity of the presidency. That’s why you called elections rigged until you won. SMH.
The right-wing conspiracy site InfoWars is who came up with the 3 million “illegal aliens” figure. Good to know our future president is getting his information from a hack site.
