‘What a Pack of Losers’: Kellyanne Conway Blasts Clinton Campaign For Joining Recount

Earlier today, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s campaign stated that they will join in on the recount efforts initiated by Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein in Wisconsin. While Marc Elias stated in his Medium post that the campaign “had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking,” they would take “the same approach” if Stein follows through on her promises of recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan, along with participating in the one already scheduled in Wisconsin.

Until now, President-elect Donald Trump and his team have remained quiet about Stein’s recount efforts. However, now that the Clinton camp is jumping into the fray, that is no longer the case.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway slammed the Clinton campaign, essentially labeling them hypocrites while calling them “sore losers.”

“What a pack of sore losers,” Conway said in a statement to Bloomberg. “After asking Mr. Trump and his team a million times on the trail, ‘Will HE accept the election results?’ it turns out Team Hillary and their new BFF Jill Stein can’t accept reality.”

“Rather than adhere to the tradition of graciously conceding and wishing the winner well, they’ve opted to waste millions of dollars and dismiss the democratic process. The people have spoken. Time to listen up. #YesYourPresident,” Conway said.

Conway was obviously referring to the concerns over Trump saying that he would leave the country in suspense on whether he’d accept the election results. He continually harped about the election system being rigged on the campaign trail.

While the margin of victory in the three states that will be recounted is relatively tight — a combined 107,000 — it is still highly unlikely that any of the three will flip on a simple recount, something Elias himself conceded in his post.

Meanwhile, Clinton national popular vote lead continues to rise. As of today, Clinton now leads by over 2.2 million votes and it appears that when it is all said and done, Hillary will win the popular vote by two points and nearly 3 million.

This has raised a number of questions over her intents with the fundraising, as initially she said she would need $2.5 million and is now claiming any unused money will go to other efforts.

This would be an excellent time for President-elect Trump to personally re-evaluate his pledge to not prosecute all felonious activity related to the Clinton Crime Syndicate and the Clinton influence-peddling Foundation....

Clinton’s entire popular vote margin, and more, much more, is coming out of the State of California which is STILL counting votes 18 days AFTER the election. If we were to ditch these bozos and all their illegal alien voters, Trump would have won the popular vote by two million.

Glad Trump is pushing back on this. Hope it makes him reconsider his statement on she’s a “good person”. Investigate her to the fullest extent possible.

Excellent idea! Trump’s people should make a major point of purging all illegal votes during any recounts...

What about the millions who didn’t vote in far left states like CA, OR, WA, NY, etc because they knew they were so outnumbered their vote wouldn’t count.

The campaigns were run on winning electoral votes in the states they could; not trying to win every single vote in the nation. It would have been a completely different campaign for everyone if that was the goal.

I know you probably know this; just throwing it out there since you brought it up...

I happen to believe that the dems DID engage in voter fraud but just did not do enough of it to win. Do I have proof? No. I just know the dem history and the fact they have forced an environment that provides an opportunity for fraud to occur, e.g. discouraging voter ID.

Wouldn’t it be sweet if a recount uncovers dem voter fraud? Wishful thinking perhaps.

This stuff is really starting to gall me. We have had these rules, the SAME rules for over two hundred years. There is a reason why we have these rules, and the reasons are very good.

Donald Trump took a look at the rules and crafted a strategy to win the presidency based on those rules. Not only did he have to face the Democrats, he had to fight against the Main Stream Media, career politicians, labor unions, pundits, and a large portion of his own party. And he was outspent nearly two to one. Despite all this, he was able to craft a strategy that won him the presidency. I don't know how else to characterize that but genius.

In terms of winning the presidency, winning the popular vote is EXACTLY EQUIVALENT to losing the popular vote. You get no special privileges for it. There are no run-offs, no Congressional votes, no Supreme Court decisions. The rules clearly state, achieve a majority of the Electoral Vote. Nothing else matters. Saying Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, but losing the electoral vote is the same thing as saying that she utilized a failed election strategy. Who would you rather have as president, someone who squandered her obvious advantages, or someone who was able to use their limited resources to achieve his goal? The answer is obvious to me.

Tough luck for not voting.

They should have voted. I feel no sympathy for people who do not vote.

The bulk of Hillary’s 2 million votes are from Los Angeles and Cook Counties. In LA illegals are voting en masse. Cook County is where Chicago is, ancestral home of Mayor Daley—the world’s leading authority on voter fraud.

the left have had a pansy republican party in the past, now we have Trump who can fight back.
This crap of the media asking would Trump accept the results, and Clinton saying it was a threat to the country if Trump did not accept the results just shows the country how pathetic,k sore loser the Dem party are.

They wanted recounts in 2000, and now because they lose again they want more recounts when it is not that close, and no evidence has been found to say there was anything going on.

Now the media won’t ask the most obvious question here.

WHAT IS THE END RESULTS OF THIS, AND WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

If it is integrity of the voting process then let’s recount in NH, CA, NV, NM and lets see how many illegals voted.

Yes, as I understand it, the illegals in the State of California are entitled to driver’s licenses. When they receive a driver’s license, they are automatically registered to vote for president and state offices unless they TELL THE DMV they are not citizens. I wonder what percentage of the illegal aliens in California have done that?

Hey you Hillary and Gertrude Stein voters:
As soon as you get 2/3rds of both houses of Congress and 38 states to go along with you...you can elect PRESIDENTS with only the CALIF vote like is happening in popular vote..But Trump won STATES: 30-20
and 306 Elecoral votes which is a SHELACKING by any other term.
So sit down an shut up you two old tired ladies...you lost...get over an and move out of the country or something....

I was listening to NPR this evening. They were interviewing Jill Stein about why she was doing it. Insuring the integrity of the system was her answer. And yet it did not ocurr to the dim bulb interviewer to ask her why she was only doing this in state where Clinton lost. New Hampshire was far closer. Why not recount there?

Clinton's donors who forked over hundreds of millions are circling her like sharks.

Oh please. The illegals get to go to the front of the line at the DMV. They’re a special privileged class in California.

We fled SoCal in 2015—best thing we ever did. We lived in a sanctuary city. It’s awful. Anybody who believes illegal aliens aren’t voting is utterly clueless.
