40. When are you against "any interference"?

Sun Dec 11, 2016, 11:16 AM

Dec 2016

Before the election?

When the Russians stole DNC documents and released them on WikiLeaks? When there was this "proof" of the DNC "tipping the scales" against Senator Sanders (I-VT)? When Debbie Wasserman Schultz was demonized, vilified and booted out just before our Democratic Convention for "favoring" our Democratic nominee?

No.

When Hillary, her campaign and the Obama administration repeatedly told us the Russians were hacking Democratic operatives only, and were stealing even more documents and doing a drip-drip-drip release breathlessly reported by every form of media in the world? When Hillary made these claims on world-broadcast debates seen by multi-millions, and her opponent's utterances included, "No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet"?

No.

How about Election Day?

60,000,000 plus voted for this guy? More didn't vote? Some didn't vote to stop him?

No.

The next day?

Was this "What's wrong with the Democratic Party?" Was this "What's wrong with your candidate?" Was this "Hillary Clinton baggage"? Was this "Stop Russia from interfering in our elections?"

No.

Then - "Green Party Recounts!"

"Hey, maybe something happened?"

And now, when recounts end in a big, fat nothing...?

YES! Putin and Russia interfered!

Where were you?
