Clinton Camp Continues to Question Legitimacy of Trump’s Win

In less than one week, Donald Trump will be sworn in as President of the United States — but not if Clinton’s team has anything to do with it. They’re still questioning Trump’s win long after the rest of the world has moved on.

More than two months after the presidential election, elected Democrats and members of Hillary Clinton’s inner circle continue to question the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s electoral victory.

Among the latest Clinton insiders to do so was Brian Fallon, who was the press secretary on Hillary’s unsuccessful campaign. Asked on CNN’s “New Day” on Friday to respond to a series of Trump tweets hammering Clinton, Fallon claimed the “legitimacy” of Trump’s election is still in question.

“I think those tweets are just the latest indication that Donald Trump is someone very insecure in his victory, and I understand why. Every day there are new developments and new shoes dropping, so to speak, that call into question the legitimacy of his win,” Fallon claimed.

“First it was with respect to Russian interference and they tried to deny, the Trump folks did, that Russia was behind this and now forced to admit that. Then they tried to say it was not for the purposes of trying to help Donald Trump, they were trying to sow confusion and targeting both sides and now folks in the government have concluded it was to tip the election Donald Trump’s way,” he continued.

“And now, with respect to the FBI, we see that Jim Comey’s actions are significantly questionable that the independent watchdog and the DOJ think they merit an independent review, so I think Donald Trump is is trying to cling to whatever legitimacy that is still in effect here.”

Maybe Clinton’s followers will never accept that their candidate lost to Donald Trump. The man they said could “never become president” did become president, and he did it by beating Hillary Clinton. By accepting Trump’s win, they might have to accept the fact that their candidate was terrible.

Trump wouldn't say if he'll accept the outcome of the election. That’s horrifying—but part of a pattern. https://t.co/OrT9W4bSGW
