28. That's not at all what he was saying...

Nov 2017

He objected to Sec'y Clinton's description of the election as "illegitimate." He pushed Donna Brazile to say whether she agreed the election was "illegitimate." Brazile said she did agree. Matthews got all huffy, "that's what Trump was saying about Obama, 'he was illegitimate because he's from Kenya'". Brazile told him, "we can argue semantics or keep pushing to get to the bottom of this." They both agree Russian involvement was heavy but, Matthews questions if that involvement effected the vote tally. Brazile didn't say she believed the tally was effected, but she didn't deny it either; she just insisted "we have to get to the bottom of this investigation."
