Political hypocrisy on display in recount efforts
My, how things change.
Remember during the debates and campaign there was a question about Donald Trump accepting the results of the election? As of election day's evening events, this didn't become an issue, as he won and Hillary Clinton called to congratulate him, conceding she lost and he had won.
Fast forward to the current events, of Green Party nominee Dr. Jill Stein questioning the Electoral College results and raising money for a recount in some contested states. Then, to anyone's surprise, the Clinton campaign is joining this project.
While admitting they see no change in the outcome, they're going to keep themselves in the headlines and waste millions of dollars to reach the same results? If she has any humbleness in her, Clinton should simply state that she conceded the election and Trump won. Otherwise, she is allowing herself to be projected as the sore loser her campaign framed Trump as being.
She needs to tell her followers to stop the protesting and rioting. Grow up and start working at getting things where they need to be.
