Peter Daou (!!!) just defended Donald Trump's latest tweet questioning why Obama waited to act on Russian hack

Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning and asked:

If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?

That’s a decent question, right? And we were more than a little surprised to see Hillary Clinton super-fan Peter Daou coming to the president-elect’s defense, saying he had a “valid point” (the linked tweet her was deleted and replaced due to a spelling error):

This is an instance where @realDonaldTrump has a valid point: The cyber-intrusion of our election happened under Democratic watch. https://t.co/NKwi2AtVmy

As we’ve reported, Daou does think the Russians sabotaged Hillary Clinton and helped make her so unlikable (yeah, she really needed help for that?):

As an American, I want to know how Putin outsmarted and outplayed my country. How he pinpointed the weaknesses in our media and electorate.

TRUTH: Hillary's "unlikability" WAS the Russian strategy. Make her toxic with fake news, trolling, hacking.
66 million didn't fall for it.

Whatever, dude. But it’s hilarious that he’s willing to now drag President Obama into it just to defend his girl.

Anyway, other reporters and verified users decided to make fun o the president-elect’s spelling error in the original tweet (Trump spelled “wait ” as “waite”) rather than dare blame President Obama for not doing more about the Russian hacking:
