The right wingers in my office are going ape-shit right now. [View all]

They're all buzzing and bitching over the fact that Hillary's campaign is participating in a recount effort, saying that she's a hypocrite for "not accepting the results of the election" after she insisted that Trump accept the results.

Apparently, they know nothing about reality. Clinton joined Stein in a recount on one area only. They have made no statements about trying to turn around the election. They're just trying to keep the record straight. Hillary's conceded. There's pretty much no going back now.

But, you can't stop these "experts" from putting words into Hillary's mouth.

From an article:

Brian Fallon, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, rejected the notion that the campaign’s actions might suggest to some that it was not accepting the election results. He also disputed that the campaign had “backed a recount.”

“The post says we would not have sought the recount on our own, that we see no evidence of tampering so far, and acknowledge the margin in Michigan, which is the tightest of the three, exceeds the largest deficit ever overcome in a recount,” Fallon wrote to The Washington Post. “We note we are guarding our prerogatives now that someone else has launched a recount. Not sure what you could point to to suggest there is anything here that calls the results into question.”
