I had to sit through one of these panels after the mayoral race was over, and it wasn’t fun. But these right-wing scum want to be treated like glorious victors when they pulled every disgusting trick in the book:
The extraordinary exchange came at a postmortem session sponsored by Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, where top operatives from both campaigns sat across a conference table from each other.
As Trump’s team basked in the glow of its victory and singled out for praise its campaign’s chief executive, Stephen K. Bannon, who was absent, the row of grim-faced Clinton aides who sat opposite them bristled.
Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri condemned Bannon, who previously ran Breitbart, a news site popular with the alt-right, a small movement known for espousing racist views.
“If providing a platform for white supremacists makes me a brilliant tactician, I am proud to have lost,” she said. “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.”
Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, fumed: “Do you think I ran a campaign where white supremacists had a platform?”
(Pause here to puke. I did.)
“You did, Kellyanne. You did,” interjected Palmieri, who choked up at various points of the session.
“Do you think you could have just had a decent message for white, working-class voters?” Conway asked. “How about, it’s Hillary Clinton, she doesn’t connect with people? How about, they have nothing in common with her? How about, she doesn’t have an economic message?”
Joel Benenson, Clinton’s chief strategist, piled on: “There were dog whistles sent out to people. . . . Look at your rallies. He delivered it.”
At which point, Conway accused Clinton’s team of being sore losers. “Guys, I can tell you are angry, but wow,” she said. “Hashtag he’s your president. How’s that? Will you ever accept the election results? Will you tell your protesters that he’s their president, too?”
Fuck you, Eva Braun. You and your merry band of Nazis.
She revolts me more than drumpf – who is a white supremacist himself through and through. Anyone hanging around on Alex Jones and Breitbart is a wing-nut misogynist white supremacist. Every cabinet member Pence, oops I mean drumpf has picked so far is virulently anti-gay and hostile to women’s reproductive health choices.
If Trump had lost the electoral vote but won the popular vote, would you a-holes not be screaming loud and long and trying to get the Supremes to change the outcome, rallying with your stormtroopers fully armed in every major city and most small ones?
And when he for once begins to act like a President, and still more like one who is President of all the people, maybe then I will give him some respect; I have not forgotten what you said about Obama and Clinton both: ‘He’s not MY President”.
Note that the recounts in Wisconsin and Michigan are underway to unwind even a small portion of the virulent voter fraud [suppression] by GOP operatives. drumpf wins by 10,000 votes after 300,000 votes were discarded because university students had school ID rather than some bogus state ID ‘required’ by the new voter suppression laws. drumpf didn’t come anywhere close to half the votes in any of the swing states, but you’d have to go back and count all the ‘provisional’ ballots that ended up in the electoral trash bin in order get it sorted.
Yeah, I agree. Trump won because we lost the 2010 mid-terms, basically.
